Ncaa March Madness 2005 Soundtrack

You've also got to keep an eye on your players once they hit campus, ensuring that they make it to class, don't accept any free cars or throwbacks, and basically keep their noses clean. If a player does break the rules, it'll be up to you to punish them before the NCAA finds out. The system for disciplining wayward players involves allotting a certain number of points before the season for a variety of duties (recruiting, discipline, etc.), and you've got to make sure that you don't use them up too fast.

For instance, if you put most of your points toward recruiting, there's a good chance that you'll get some good players, but you might get screwed if they mess up. Once you run out of points, you won't be able to discipline players, and you'll have to face the wrath of the NCAA. It's a very well implemented system, and it adds a lot of depth to the Dynasty Mode. As you might expect, there are a lot of extras in the game that can be unlocked by hitting certain milestones and building up experience points.

You can purchase throwbacks and shoes at the campus bookstore, unlock historic teams for exhibition play, or view your team and individual trophies and records. My favorite game mode, however, was College Classics, which allows you to replay historic moments (or entire games) from throughout the years. From Tyus Edney's fullcourt dash against Missouri to Laettner's buzzer beater against Kentucky, you can relive some of college basketball's greatest moments. Beating this mode will let you unlock some of the great teams, dating all the way back to Bill Russell's dominant USF teams of the 50's. If you're a hoop junkie, this is the mode for you.

In the card game Race for the Galaxy, players build galactic civilizations by playing game cards in front of them that represent worlds or technical and social developments. Some worlds allow players to produce goods, which can be consumed later to gain either card draws or victory points when the appropriate technologies are available to them.

Graphically, the game is a lot like NBA Live, with realistic player models, detailed crowds, and some nice looking reflective surfaces. There are still some issues with the animation, as players slide across the court a bit too effortlessly and lag a bit after performing spin moves. Still, the game looks good, and it's definitely an upgrade from last year's iteration. The audio, on the other hand, could use a bit of work. The game opens with the horrid 'One Shining Moment', although you won't hear it again, as it's turned off in the default playlist. Since this a college game, you'd expect to hear some marching band tunes, but March Madness takes it to a higher level, as nearly all of the game's soundtrack is made up of bands performing some of today's biggest hits.

It's a bit of a novelty at first, but it gets old fast. The in-game audio is great, from the rim-rocking dunks to the crowd chants, but anyone who finds Dick 'Awesome, baby!' Vitale annoying might want to turn off the play-by-play commentary.

If you're a college hoops fan, this is certainly a game that you should add to your collection. The Dynasty Mode is one of the best you'll see in an EA game, mostly because of the addition of the discipline system, which forces you to walk a fine line between getting the best players and running a clean program. Hoop fanatics will eat up the College Classics mode, and unlocking the historic teams will finally answer a lot of 'Which team was better?' If you want the best basketball game on the market, you might be more satisfied by the excellent NBA Live 2005 (mmmm. Igneous. Dunk contest), but will keep you entertained all the way through Final Four weekend.
