    The best overall college basketball game on the market. [Jan 2004, p.80]

    Some of the animations in places are a little repetitive and awkward. But overall this title does a great job of bringing the excitement of the college game to life.

    The strongest college basketball game on the market this season by a good margin.

    But it all starts to falter with the gameplay, which generically mimics the sport and ultimately falls short of feeling like an actual college basketball game.

    Great game. Legacy mode is well worth it. The in season recruiting really adds a lot to the challenge of building a star team.
