86My favorite basketball game this year.
-
75The game still has a few rough spots on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball that would make any fan of the sport throw his or her controller in frustration.
-
89While the graphics are not as superior as it was with "NBA 2K3" or the controls as super smooth as "NBA Live 2003," the game is still a shining example of how a college basketball game should be made.
-
The AI is horrendous, all the great tweaks in "NBA 2K3" are MIA, and most of the fun is gone, too... People in dorms are going to have to get pretty drunk to get any enjoyment out of this. [Jan 2003, p.96]
-
84The best of the college hoops crowd... The attention to detail in some of the arenas borders on the obsessive.
-
90Where the wheat gets separated from the chaff, however, is the A.I.; and Sega’s game is all whole-grain goodness.
-
83One thing that Sega’s game has over EA’s is options.
-
80With a couple tweaks to the gameplay here and there, Sega could have a perennial powerhouse on its hands.
-
100The Legacy mode is incredibly comprehensive and it's something that'll keep players busy for hours on end. [Jan 2003, p.84]
-
Offers up the most authentic college basketball experience. [Jan 2003, p.139]
-
90Definitely the best college basketball game we've ever played. [Jan 2003, p.24]
-
80Easily the best NCAA basketball game in ages.
-
80Fast-paced, big on fun, and contains the best passing engine on any hoops game. [Feb 2003, p.67]
-
This is the best college basketball game I have ever played and I have played them all. From "Coach K" to "March Madness" to "Final Four", I have never played a college basketball game that was this enjoyable and realistic.
-
Easily the best college basketball game ever made.
-
I gave "Final Four" a better overall score than College Basketball 2k3 on the basis of game play.
-
No console hoop game to this date has fully realized the smoothness of real life basketball, but 2K3 is awfully close. Less cinematic and slower than March Madness, it captures the look, sound, and most importantly, the feel of the college game.
