    The gameplay in March Madness is nearly identical to that of its big brother "NBA Live 2004," which is a big plus. The frantic pace, the tighter defense, and the importance of set plays is actually a much better fit for the college game than it is for Live.

    An incredibly deep game whether your playing alone or online.

    While I applaud March Madness' marked improvements, it still doesn't equal "ESPN College Hoops" in terms of depth, so the game comes in a close second this year on the PS2.

    If you're gonna buy one college game this year, buy March Madness.

    This looks like a great college hoops game. i dont think that there will be one better than this. With the atmosphere, and the gameplay like nba live 2004, this game is almost perfect in my book.… Expand
