EA Releases Details on March Madness 08

Posted on October 30th, 2007 at 17:44 EDT

Experience college basketball like never before in EA's March Madness 2008. Today EA Sports released all new details on their upcoming title, going over features and improvements from last year's edition.

 

Here are some of the latest upgrades:

Dynamic Post Control: For the first time, you have complete control over dozens of new offensive post moves, including finesse ones like an up-and-under, drop step, hook spin, jump hook, and pump fake, and the ability to combine moves together. Animations can be interrupted at any time to transition into a new move, enabling you to read and respond to the defense, just like real life.

Defend The Post: Take command of the post on defense with strategic positioning to dominate down low -- guard your opponent man-to-man, front him to deny the entry pass, or read the offense and go for the steal!

Classic Teams: Replay classic games in college basketball history with over 70 classic teams available to create your dream match-ups. In addition, the ultimate teams for dozens of Division I schools have been created enabling you to determine the best team in college basketball history

Feel the Intensity: Feel the crowd come alive and watch as it affects your players’ composure in the most hostile environments in college basketball. Your players respond differently based on their individual player composure ratings, influencing their success or failure on the court.

 


 
Impact Moment: When the timing is right and the Team Intensity Meter is full, activate your Impact Moment to pump up the home crowd, give your teammates a boost, raise your own level of play or intimidate your opponent.

Authentic College Atmosphere: Experience the electricity of game night with the band playing fight songs and students cheering their team. With new authentic arenas and interactive environments, your players can chest bump the mascot, pump up the crowd, or fire up teammates.

Broadcast Team: ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews makes her videogame debut joining Dick Vitale and Brad Nessler to provide strategic observations throughout the course of each game and real-time injury updates.

Complete ESPN Access: Feel the total ESPN experience with new ESPN in-game visuals, access to scores, news, and insightful commentary with ESPN Motion, ESPN Radio, ESPN.com and ESPN Sports Ticker updates.

Enhanced EA SPORTS Lockdown Stick: Get in your opponent’s face using the EA SPORTS Lockdown Stick. Pressure your opponent and dictate his every move by playing physical on-the-ball defense, trapping, forcing turnovers, denying passes and jumping into passing lanes.

Floor General Playcalling: With the most sophisticated play calling system and authentic customizable playbooks to date, you can run your school’s actual plays or create your own playbook to play to your own style. 

Build your “School Pride”: Build your program from a mid-major to a powerhouse.  Win games to attract more fans, build traditions and earn rewards like cheerleaders and a school band at home games.

Deeper Dynasty Mode: Simulate your games with the ability to interrupt the action at any point and take control to make sure your team seals the victory. Plus, there is more tournament content than ever before with Pre and Post season NIT and the McDonald’s High School All American game.  All-new recruiting and alumni challenges help you track your progress and achievements on your way building an NCAA Championship program.

Stay tuned for more information.

I wonder if it will include the womens side.  The wife loves sports games and only one of the PS2 titles or PS1 maybe from long ago had both men and women teams.  With blu-ray they obviously have room.  (the woman was state highschool champion 2 times and conference champ in her college all 4 years, she can play)

I don't care what features it has.  I am not buying another EA game unless it has the same or better graphics, frame rate, and gameplay quality as the 360.
