    Throughout the action, the controls handle sweetly, combining the depth of a large number of moves with smooth playability.
  2. If you're a "Madden" fan you are definitely going to love owning this game. It offers a faster play clock, fast pace, more action, and a lot less emphasis on possession and clock management.
  3. The basic game play is nearly identical to that of last year's version, but the College Classics feature makes the update worthwhile. [Oct 2003, p.138]

    Online play isn't an option here, and the training mode is nowhere to be found. While the core game is still fun, there is little reason to choose the GameCube version unless the little purple box is your sole game system.

    This the best college football game to date, the dynasty mode is better then last year and is one of the modes that distinquishes this game from the rest. Really lets be honest there might only be one other better game out there then NCAA 2004 and thats NCAA 2005! Expand
