NCAA Basketball 09

The game lets you control players in the game of basketball, either against the AI or other human controlled players on the same console or online using EA's matchmaking services.

Like other sports simulation games, you control the movement and actions of individual players on the team, deciding when to pass/shoot/dribble/run plays, or do any other action associated with winning a game of basketball against a similarly motivated opponent.

The game focuses on US college basketball teams.

It contains 300+ school teams and their associated rosters.

The game lets you play as any of the teams, and has lots of gameplay options beyond the regular team vs. team gameplay option.

It lets you simulate a season, or you can go into dynasty mode and simulate an entire career as a coach of an NCAA college basketball team.

It lets you manage your roster, train players, create strategies, enter tournaments, etc.

There's also an option to just play the final tournament and recreate "March Madness".

The game also has full play-by-play audio commentary by the likes of recognized sports broadcasting names like Dick Vitale, Brad Nessler, and Erin Andrews.

NCAA Basketball 09 for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €42.16 loose, €15.75 complete in box, and €39.76 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

NCAA Basketball 09 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For NCAA Basketball 09, loose is €42.16 and CIB is €15.75 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
