More College Hoops 2K8 features: PlayVision and Play Designer

2K Sports has revealed more new features for College Hoops 2K8. New to this year’s iteration of 2K Sports’ College Hoops series are PlayVision and Play Designer. Here’s Visual Concepts president Greg Thomas on the new features:

PlayVision and Play Designer work hand-in-hand to allow gamers to learn the fundamental movements of basketball plays and in turn enable users to get a much more realistic college basketball experience.

The all new Play Designer lets gamers create their own plays from beginning to end and customize their playbook. Gamers can determine where their players begin a play, tell each player what to do using numerous moves, and then bring in various types of defenses to test their plays against.

PlayVision comes in during the play’s execution. It draws out each play step-by-step, detailing where on the court to pass, move, and watch for a screen. Each step of the play is illustrated with a different graphic, so it’s easy to execute a play precisely. When playing with two or more people on the same team, PlayVision indicates where the gamers need to set up their players to execute the play.

College Hoops 2K8 will be available this fall for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 2 and Sony PlayStation 3 home video game consoles.
