The new "college look" player models and animations mean that the NCAA football players finally have the proportions and physiques of real college-age athletes. You can choose from all 117 Division I-A teams and selected Division I-AA teams. A comprehensive legacy mode lets you assemble your football program from the ground up and build a Division I-A powerhouse. You can also create a school and join the conference of your choice. The game lets you compete for the nation's top high school recruits and develop your squad in the off-season with spring practice sessions.
You can compare your coaching effectiveness with history's greatest college coaches, and also save senior players from NCAA College Football 2K3 and draft them into NFL 2K3. New player names will appear on the backs of their jerseys. The authentic ranking system lets you track your team's performance and its shot at the national title with the writers poll, coaches poll, and BCS standings. You will compete in the postseason classics, including all four BCS games: the Fiesta Bowl (the 2003 BCS championship game), the Rose Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Sugar Bowl. You will be surrounded with the sounds of pep bands playing university fight songs, students in the rooting section yelling school chants, and cheerleaders and mascots with hundreds of motion-captured moves.
