The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Playing feels like steadily building a college basketball program through methodical coaching and roster decisions rather than fast-paced action.

About

Playstation?s reigning champion of NCAA Men?s basketball is back and hungry for a repeat. This year?s version is boasting promising new features. Coach Mode is the newest addition to the March Madness stable of gameplay modes. This feature allows masters of the "X's and O's" to work their way up from a small college to "shoecontract-U" where they vie for the NCAA title. In addition, Dynasty Mode and the playbooks have been expanded, for those gamers who want to dabble in the behind the scenes action of college basketball.
