All I can say is the gameplay looks pretty solid. THe lockdown stick looks to be the best improvement EA has had in a long time. I like the way the game is flowing too. Looks a hell of alot better than last years Live(I didn't play March Madness but I may rent it this weekend if I can).
I know College Hoops by 2ksports is awsome(best basketball game of last year by far) but the terrible finish animations(layups and dunks) and poor end game logic make me lean towards March Madness.
I am pretty impressed by what I am seeing by the March Madness crew. Last year they implemented PLAYS!!!! This year defense! I hope they match the team strategy/coaching elements that 2ksports did so well last year.
