2K Sports announced today
new features for College Hoops 2K8. A brand new feature for College Hoops 2K8 is the All-American Training
Challenge, delivering an exciting series of passing, shooting, and
defensive tests against some of college basketball's best former
student-athletes. Also included in College Hoops 2K8 is the 6th Man
Advantage, which brings a new level of interactive atmosphere to the
college basketball experience.
In the All-American Training Challenge, players will be able to improve
their game skills by competing in passing, shooting, and defensive tests
against former college basketball standouts like Mike Conley Jr. of Ohio
State, Julian Wright of Kansas, Glen "Big Baby" Davis of LSU, Alando
Tucker of Wisconsin, Al Thornton of Florida State, J.J. Redick of Duke,
and College Hoops 2K8 cover athlete, Greg Oden of Ohio State. Gamers
can progress through the challenge drills against these great players
while tracking their best times and highest scores in the game. With
multiplayer support for up to four players, gamers can compete against
their friends to see who has the best College Hoops skills.
College basketball fans will truly feel the benefit of playing in front
of a frenzied crowd-be it at home or in a neutral tournament venue-with
the 6th Man Advantage where the energy of a team's fans can motivate a
team to play harder and with more confidence. During a game, the 6th
Man Meter measures the current energy and excitement level of the crowd.
By scoring often, playing good defense, and raising the excitement level
of the crowd, the 6th Man Meter will rise. Once the meter is full, the
home team will gain the advantage of playing with less fatigue for a
brief period while the opposing team will start to lose confidence in
their playing ability. The 6th Man Advantage delivers a realistic
element with how a great crowd can inspire their team to victory.
College Hoops 2K8 will be available this fall for the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3
and PlayStation 2.
