Still March Madness

After reading a few of the other raters, I decided to see for myself how pitiful this game was. It's fun as hell, but I agree with everyone else in regards to the dynasty mode. How can you have a sports game and not have some type of season or anything. Also, EA must have had Shane Battier's insight because Duke get's all of the calls. And for the reader who said he scored all those points on Duke, it must have been on Freshman mode!!!

Awesome!

The graphics are great and the people looks so real. You can create your own team! I made one that has all the things that are about my school for the school info. You can also name the people on your team and make them look how ever you want! I think you should buy this game! All those other people are just winers. Wah, wah, wah. Now go buy this game now! Kids know more about the games they play than adults!

Despite what others say, this isn't that bad.

I can honestly say this isn't a favorite of most because of small options but I would like to choose the opposite outlook.
I have 2 things against it:
1. The biggest problem I have with it is they put 'Ol Peanut Scalp Shane Battier on the front.
2. He's from Duke, and I HATE DUKE!Go Heels!
I like this game very much, I'm not the realistic hoops virtuoso and unlike some sportsnuts out there I'm not hard to please. If a game has good graphics and generally good gameplay, this game has it 4-fold,I'll like it. I also regret to say there is only one other NCAA hoops game out there, and it's made by 989 sports, the suckiest developers to ever produce a sports title for any console ever made. NCAA MM 2K2 provides the feeling of a heated rivalry or a highly anticipated showdown,(Unc vs. Duke,anyone?)and the graphics on the contrary to other beliefs are nicely crisp and clean, so good, you'll think you are watching the games on your TV set. Now, getting to the final gripe that most have bitched about, the Options, the season is suprisingly satisfying because it takes you round by round through the tournament even if the regular season doesn't show. I have an idea whiners out there, take your favorite team, copy their schedule on a piece of paper and play through the season checking off games as you go and keeping track of your record and then, play the NCAA tournament. You'll enjoy this game folks, I guarantee it.

Awesome!!!!

I played this game on a demo disk, and it was amazing. The graphics were awesome, and the gameplay was extremely realistic.

Let the games begin

This game has some of the best graphics I have ever seen. It also has very realistic player movements. The EASports staff really dii a good job on this one.

I'm writing this review a little differently. I'm writing it in comparison to the Live franchise. As I'm sure you're already aware, there is no season or dynasty gameplay option in MM 2002. While this GREATLY detracts from the single player experience, the game's gameplay itself is GREATLY improved over the Live series. Let's start with the rebounding. On Live 2001 and 2002, you more often than not chase down loose balls as rebounds. Rarely will you see a player actually jump and catch a ball off the rim. This is not the case in MM 2002. If you're on offense, you'd better put up a decent shot, because there aren't many offensive rebounds. No more putting up 3 after 3 because the defense can't get a board. No more throwing passes into a clogged lane. If you do this, it'll likely get stolen. The momentum meter, while usually limited to the college game, adds a measure of realism to the games. I mean, let's face it...when a team is on a roll, they shoot better as a team. In Live, this isn't the case. Now you people can cry about the dynasty and season modes being omitted, but if you'd have done 10 minutes worth of research, you'd have saved 50 bucks, so quite your crying. A great improvement in GAMEPLAY than EA's previous attempts. A step in the right direction, even though it's but a step

Not as bad as people make it seem

This game is not as bad as previous reviewers have made it look. It is missing quite a few teams and it is missing the season mode, however... It has an interesting new tournament mode that allows all 64 teams (your choice) to play wherever and whoever you want. You can also create- a - team with jersey, stadium, a list of players that you can make look however you would like, and even your choice of coach, logo and location. I created my local team that was missing down to the exact details of their names and faces. You can also easily make up a team. Fun.

Unlike what others say I like playing this game. The gameplay is very realistic. The graphics are pretty sharp and the AI is actually good at defense. The reason why this game is a failure in most peoples minds is that you can only do three things: play a regular game, play in the NCAA tournament, and create a school which you can use to do the other two options. There is no season mode which was very shocking to me considering that it isn't that hard to add to the game. If this was last year, I would have symphasized for them not having a fantasy mode because it is a college game, but after playing NCAA Football 2002, they have no excuse. The only reason why I bought this game over Final Four 2002 was because the graphics and gameplay in Final Four was so bad that all of its modes, including a very cool coaching mode where you start with a bad school and move up, couldn't make up for it. Final Four didn't even have a cross-over. Right now, if you want a college b-ball game than get March Madness, but if you can wait, stick around for Sega's game and then rent all three and make a decision.

This is without a doubt the best college basketball game to come out since Coack K for the Sega Genisis. It is very realistic
and the game play is exceptional. It play's like NBA Live 02' Only Better. (NBA Live isn't that good). The only gripe I see anyone having is there is no Regular Season or Dynasty Mode. But its still the best College Basket Ball sim.
