Authentic Collegiate Spirit with Chant Creator and Other New Features
U– 2K Sports, a publishing label of
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., announced today a number of
unique new features in College Hoops 2K7, the #1 rated college basketball
simulation series for four-straight years*. With the revolutionary Chant
Creator, the enhanced Coach Mode, and the even more realistic college game
atmosphere, College Hoops 2K7 fans will be caught up in the excitement and
pageantry of collegiate basketball like never before.
“The intensity and excitement that
fills a gym during a heated college basketball game is incredible,” stated Greg
Thomas, president of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. “College Hoops 2K7
truly captures the authentic college basketball game atmosphere, enhanced by the
all-new Chant Creator and revamped Coach Mode.”
The unique Chant Creator, the first
of its kind in any sports title, allows the gamer to control the excitement of
the crowd by constructing custom chants to play during key moments of play.
Gamers are given a multitude of options to customize in-game chants, including
drum percussions, letters, words, mascots, states/regions, and more.
In addition, over 200 fight songs
have been added to further enhance the overall college atmosphere in College
Hoops 2K7, as well as more than 50 new default crowd chants and new cheerleader
routines, mascot dancing and new gyms. With Chant Creator, countless

the coach. As the coach, gamers can move up and down the sidelines changing the
tempo of the game, call plays and make substitutions. Adding to the authentic
coach experience, College Hoops 2K7 is the only college basketball title on the
market to include the likenesses of hundreds of actual college coaches—including
Roy Williams, Billy Donovan, John Calipari, Jay Wright and more.
