Head-to-head on PS2 was pretty good because it didn't have the slowdown and you could deal with the drop issue by user catching.

I had PS2, so maybe that's why I didn't find too much of a problem with it.

I personally couldn't believe it was made by 2K considering how good their NFL titles were. Still, if you can find it it shouldn't cost you much to try it out for yourself. 99 cents or so. There was also a 2K2 version but that was only on Dreamcast.

Yea, I saw some vids on YT and the game looked like poop. It looked like NFL 2K on the Dreamcast. So, I guess I can go pick up '06 on the XBox. I can play it on my 360 right?

Was awful, maybe the worst one ever. 04 was the best in the series on xbox/PS2 IMO. Bill Walsh is the king though for its time.

There was no stat tracking, one generic stadium, a limited global playbook, limited team selection....I'm glad I still have this game in a box somewhere with my Sega.

I won (and paid for) many beers playing in block party tournaments in Athens because of this game.

Good times...good times...

NCAA Football 04 was the first college football game I had fun with. I believe Carson Palmer was on the cover. After that, NCAA 06 was a pretty great game. (Desmond Howard cover)
