College Hoops 2K8

The cover features Greg Oden, formerly of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Almost every school competing in Division I NCAA college basketball at the time was included in 2K8, including recent additions South Carolina-Upstate, Cal State-Bakersfield and Florida Gulf Coast.

Not included were Presbyterian College and North Carolina Central, D-1 independents.

Also, Centenary College of the Summit League was unlicensed and instead named UL-Calcutta.

The game also featured the ability to change and modify rosters and share them online via the newly introduced 2K Share feature.

The real coaches feature was dropped from this game, possibly because the coaches chose not to renew their contracts and all of the coaches are unnamed.

The announcers/commentators featured in the game were Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery.

The College Hoops series was put on hiatus in 2008 as 2K Sports declined to seek the college license for a 2K9 release.

EA Sports got the contract before 2K did, so EA will continue to make college basketball games.

EA discontinued their college basketball game series in 2010.

It is currently unknown if 2K Sports will continue to make their College Hoops 2K series.

College Hoops 2K8 for Xbox 360 is currently worth €100.50 loose, €76.41 complete in box, and €137.36 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

College Hoops 2K8 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 College Hoops 2K8, loose is €100.50 and CIB is €76.41 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of College Hoops 2K8 is currently worth €100.50 loose, versus €78.59 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
