NCAA March Madness 2005

"...March Madness 2005 is as derivative as sports games get. It has one or two nice new features, but if you've played any other version of the game, you've already played this one. It takes more creativity to make the tourney."

"While March Madness 2005 borrows some new features from NCAA Football 2005 and includes a revamped play-calling system that is actually fun to use, a broken dynasty mode and choppy online play mar an otherwise good basketball game."

"I consider the 2005 game to be the first genuine step in that direction with the play-calling system and crowd meter, but there’s a whole lot of work left to be done. It definitely feels more like a standalone college game now with more of the atmosphere, gameplay and extras that make NCAA hoops so endearing."
