NCAA March Madness 2004
Overall: Overall this is my favorite sport game to date. College or otherwise. I love the mascot games and the dynasty mode is fantastic. Graphics are clean, sound is good. Dick Vitale has something to say about everything. I really like the different buttons for dunk and shoot, eventhough I still get it confused sometimes. The low post moves are good and the freestyle gets better every year. In Dick Vitales words.. "IT'S AWSOME BABY!!"
Gameplay: The gameplay is very nice. The freethrows in the game are a lot better then espn. The EA freestyle feature is still great. The dynasty mode is unbelievable, when choosing a schedule teams can reject your offers to play them. It has the same features in NCAA football were you can check standings, awards, coaches polls, and coaching report cards. Another reason I gave the gameplay a 5 is the fact that you can do mascot games. Nothings better then playing a heated game of basketball with a orange and a tree.
Graphics: The grafics are very nice and smooth. The crowd has a more realistic look to it then in recent years. The players animations are nice and crisp. I really like the stadiums/fieldhouse/gym that the games are held in. I dont like that fact that it doesn't sopport HDTV and that is why im giving it a 4.5
Audio: OK.... When EA says its in the game, it usually is. That can be good or bad, Dick Vitale has something to say about everything. I mean everything. There is a little annoying bobblehead of ole Dickie in the corner and he can put his two cents in. It is pretty funny but it turns to annoying really quick. As for the crowd. It sounds like your in the actual fieldhouse/gym/stadium. The crowd cheers and stomps thier feet and it all sounds quite nice. Although it doesnt have In-game Dolby Digital or custom soundtracks. Adding in some music during halftime or before games would make the game more realistic.
Suggestions: HDTV, DOLBY DIGITAL, CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS, PUT THE GAME ONLINE, AND EASIER MENU
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
