Video Gaming News - October 2004
San Rafael, CA (October 21, 2004) - ESPN Videogames today announced
that ESPN College Hoops 2K5 will include many new gameplay features.
From ESPN Videogames:
The Pass-N-Go system authentically recreates the team-oriented play and
explosive action of collegiate basketball.
The innovative Pass-N-Go passing system allows gamers to utilize two different
passing techniques - regular directional passing and lead passing to beat their
opponents to the net. These two passing mechanics give the user freedom to pass
to the open man or make a riskier lead pass that leads a teammate to the basket.
Both passing buttons also feature advanced controls where a gamer can perform a
give-n-go pass or an alley-oop at great risk and even greater reward.
"Our Pass-N-Go system offers consumers a new dimension of realism in college
basketball video games," stated Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts -
makers of ESPN Videogames. "The concept is simple, but revolutionary. Gamers
will be blown away by the enhanced maneuvers this feature allows. Furthermore,
the amazing visuals, breakthrough gameplay, and authentic ESPN presentation,
make ESPN College Hoops 2K5 the most complete college basketball video game on
the market."
Free throws are an integral part of any basketball game, and ESPN College Hoops
2K5's new Free Throw System makes it simple and intuitive. Users simply hold the
shot button and release it as the player releases the shot. Each player in ESPN
College Hoops 2K5 has a different free throw animation and timing that can
change depending on how tired the player is and how long the game has gone on.
The new Free Throw System is elegantly simple, yet challenging to both rookies
and veterans of the game.
Coming soon for both the Xbox(r) videogame system from Microsoft and
PlayStation(r)2 computer entertainment system, ESPN College Hoops 2K5 promises
sports fans unparalleled ESPN telecast-style presentation featuring the return
of Jay Bilas and Mike Patrick giving all the play-by-play action. Enhanced audio
in ESPN College Hoops 2K5 delivers the most accurate crowd noise, college chants
and fight songs.
ESPN Videogames are produced by Visual Concepts, SEGA's sports studio.
