This might just be the biggest waste of money I've spent on a game. EVERY sports game I've ever owned has had some sort of season mode...how hard is it to have a season mode! I'm sure glad they put the "all important" create a team feature. What a waste of time. This could tarnish the March Madness name for years to come!
WARNING: I heard this game has no season or dynasty mode

I haven't played this game and probably never will because...
WARNING: I read this game has no season or dynasty mode. I read this on a game related website. I'm not 100% sure, but if this game truly doesn't have a season or dynasty mode (only tourney or exhibition) then I'm not buying it. What is the point in this game without a season mode or recruiting and all that stuff? EASports has really let me down.
Their NCAA Football has a great recruiting system. NBA Live has all kinds of season and career options. Now EA sports bball on the PS2 (supposed to be a great system) doesn't even have a season. I was going to get this game for by birthday, but now I'm definitely not. What a joke and an insult. I'll now look into NBA 2k2 or just wait until baseball season to buy a sports game. Heck, I might even try hockey.
Awful

Let's put it to you this way. If you like exhibition games and thats it. This game isn't bad. But if you like any realistic play, that EA is usually known for. Fugghettabboutitt.
In other words, I bought it, opened it, played 1, count 'em 1 game & and put it up for auction on another site.
AWFUL GAME... WORST EVER!!!!!!!

IM WARNING ALL EA FANS (LIKE I AM) this game is AWFUL. Do Not buy it. It does not even have a season mode.. You can either play a tournament (which you cant even pick the teams for) or you can play a quick game... My ony question... WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO GET OUT FOR SUCH A ...GAME!!!!!!

this game was really cool until i started looking through the game options. for an ea sports game not to have a season or dynasty mode is just beyond me. you can only have fun with this game if you're playing against other people.
there is a cheesy little tournament mode, but that takes all of five minutes to finish. i don't understand how you can wait so long to release a game like this and not have any appealing features on it. it's not like other ea sports games don't have these kind of gameplay modes and stat-tracking capabilities already (i.e. NCAA 2002, a college football game that implements full season and dynasty modes with recruiting options as well, now that's what i expect from an ea sports product)
this game just did not deliver. i would be careful in buying it.
HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grahphics, gameplay, sound, control......all top notch. You would think that would make for an awesome game right? Wrong. Unlike all the other EA sports games, this game has no season, franchise or dynasty modes. No create-a-player feature. The only thing you get is an average create-a-school feature (what good is that without a dyansty mode) and a lousy tournament mode. That is it. What fun is a tournament without taking your team through the season. That's like playing Madden and only getting to use a team in the playoffs. What a bunch of garbage this games turned out to be. It would have instantly been my favorite game if it only had the features of all the other EA sports games. I would not recommend this game to anyone.
Worst EA game in 15 years

I have been an EA customer for two decades (I still have Archon for the C64), and this is the worst effort I have ever seen from this company. It should have been released under a different title, because it is not part of the March Madness franchise. The game play is good, the camera views are barely acceptable, and there is no season or dynasty mode. This would be a good standup arcade game, but I expect more for $$$.... I will never buy an EA game again without seeing and playing it beforehand.
I hated this game!

This game was just not fun to me. First of all the game just had a exhibition mode and a tourny mode, and after a while the game gets really boring. They should have of put a Franchise mode or at least a season in there. The graphics were ok, and the best thing was that you could create-a-team. But that was really the only good things. I thought both NCAA March Madness 2002, and NCAA Final Four 2002 could have been better. I guess I'll have to wait untill next year.
Should Be Zero
