graphics9 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe graphics in the game have received significant criticism, with many users describing them as outdated and subpar, even comparing them unfavorably to games from the late 1980s. While some players may overlook the graphics in favor of gameplay features, the overall consensus suggests that the visual quality is a major drawback that could deter potential players. For those concerned about graphics, it is recommended to view gameplay videos to assess the visual experience before making a decision.
“If those are important to you, I recommend that you take a look at the graphics in action in some YouTube videos which show the game in action, including in-game graphics, and then decide for yourself.”
“As for the in-game graphics, I have seen the complaints in other reviews, and the graphics are also a major topic in the Wolverine Studios forum for this game.”
“Ok, so you're not buying this for its graphics... you want to create your own universe of college basketball... you want to bring the Fab-5 back to Michigan or pit Lew Alcindor's UCLA against Grant Hill and Christian Laettner's Duke.”
“The graphics (both on court and in menus) are painful.”
“Lakers vs. Celtics basketball from 1989 has better graphics and on-court gameplay than this game.”
“Since the graphics are so terrible, you either have to sim the games with very little coaching control or you have to painfully watch them and make some minor coaching adjustments.”
