@JayzoTheNextKobeBryant2.0 To be honest, I very highly doubt that they are gonna change. They are getting 70 dollars plus microtransciations, so that's about 120$. They are definitely getting enough money to keep making unfinished products as long as they keep their triple a license, so we're probably gonna have another decade of this bull crap sadly.

Great video brother! Not sure which game, but I remember spending HOURS recruiting 5 star talent. And then you could transfer that talent to nba 2k! IT WAS EPIC!

yeah this game was supremely underrated, also the cover had me fighting for air LOL

Softdrink back with another banger

Lmao i had to suspend so many players in dynasty mode on this game because they were a problem in class 😂

I’m happy this is being covered! I do miss the college basketball games and football ones when I look back but I’m glad people remember and that I have my ps2 copies of these games! I’m happy that more people will know about these games and maybe try them out!

Going back and forth between this and NCAA Football 06 on the PS2 was my childhood!😭

The soundtrack was so incredible! It’s so crazy that these games with limited gameplay features and bad graphics, by today’s standards, felt like so much more of an immersive experience.

I had this game and I loved it!!! I created me at Princeton and man it was hard because all the other players sucked and I couldn't get any decent recruit to come. However I won a sweet 16 game against Kansas 82-80 with my created player scoring 72 if those points. It was so much fun.

never stop making vids dude, cant wait until the new ncaa football game review already!

Great commentary again! Wish they would bring college hoops back!

The soundtrack to March Madness 2005 was NEXT LEVEL, the band did a wonderful job on these covers. I still think about these songs today. 😁

Spent so much time in middle and high school strategizing with friends about which weird small teams we'd take to the tournament in this game. These early 2000s EA basketball games literally made me a fan of the sport, got me familiar with the rules and the way the game works. That just doesn't happen with EA anymore. Everything has to be dumbed down to be accessible and easily monetizable.

I used to go crazy with JJ Redick on this lol

I miss college football like everyone else, but I miss college basketball games way more. I had so much fun with those games. And while I understand why a big 64 team tournament doesn't work for football in real life, I feel like it's a much more fun way to end the season in a video game. I wish the ncaa football games allowed you to do that at the end of each season, regardless of whether it was realistic or not I wish they had the option.

Yooo Happy New Year !!!!🎉🥳🍾🍺🍻🥂🎆

NCAA MARCH MADNESS 2005 even in 2024, still as amazing as even Madden NFL 2005 (PS1 & 2 Versions).

Hey SDTV, perfect timing with another great NCAA video! Have you (or anyone else) heard the news that EA Sports is finally going to drop NCAA football news possibly at the national championship game? What are your thoughts, I’m trying to keep my expectations low over here.

Love seeing my Alma Matter in the gameplay footage!

Just played the demo for this on NCAA Football 06 for the first time in over a decade and it’s just as good as I remember.

My favorite NCAA basketball game. I remember gamefaq had named roster save files. Chris paul in wake forest was my favorite.

I had a dynasty on this game about a year ago with my Kentucky Wildcats and honestly one of the most fun games I’ve played. I’ll never forget getting 4 6* and a 5 star in my first recruiting cycle and winning a three peat with that core.

Loved this vid bro, could you go over ncaa basketball 08? I just got it and wanted to see your take on it

2:22 I can not even imagine a modern sports game taking this much consideration to teach their audience about the game.

I think the last year in 2010 they made the their best game. Whats makes the game timeless is smooth adjustable gameplay along with all the plays bill self talked about in the game. I also think the most important of all is they have an Edit Team Players. I have made the every Jayhawks team then update the Big 12 as we play the team. I just enjoy playing the next game we have to see how it might go. I have 2 extra copies just in case this gets hard to find. I wish they would make another it seems that now they allow player pay they could definitely do a game with at least jersey numbers and likeness. Anyways Great video!

Great video as always. Chaminade is pronounced “Shom-in-odd”

sports games was way better when dynasty/franchise modes was a focus

I love crossing up guys with Center #52

This video brought back such nostalgic vibes. The soundtrack for this game was fantastic. I got this game for Christmas when I was 12. Spent more hours on it than I’d care to admit. Fantastic game, and more “fun” than 2k5 in my opinion.

March Madness 2005 was one of my older brother's first Xbox games. He got it for Christmas in 2004.

i played this game a fair amount in elementary school! we didn’t have much money when i was young, so i exclusively played used games on my hand-me-down ps2 from 07-12. i feel blessed to have played so many great sports titles early on! my go to’s were nfl 2k5 and march madness 07 with adam morrison on the cover 💀 i still haven’t put them down after all that time (mostly because the new titles suck lmao)

The EA Sports games in the early 2000's were awesome. They were fun, did a great job capturing the feeling of a college or professional atmosphere.

I made one of my homies have a 30-yr old rage quit moment playing him with the unranked MVC version of Creighton in three straight 'run em backs' while he chose top 10 teams each time. Like you said, the March Madness engine was the NCAA version of NBA Live '04, which I had gotten decent on.

Love ya content SoftDrink 🫡

These games were such a blast

Bought this game at Sam’s Club and was pleasantly surprised

This right here… 😙👌🏾 perfection

Hanging by a moment college band edition was absolute fire

This is My Favorite College Basketball game ever ! Better than College Hoops 2k5 !

Still got it on the P2 havent played in a while though I mainly remember it because that was the first UNC championship i watched

Loved this game!!!

1:36 this song is called "Wonder", by Lakey Inspired 😉

I just recently did a dynasty with Texas a&m so much fun I stg

I got this game sitting right on my shelf 🔥🔥🔥

I played the 06 version alot. Definitely agree. Just the discipline system was so out of control. Like something happens every day

That band version of my last resort hit different on this game

I miss college basketball games but CH2k8 was the goat... u could play the AAU circuit and it had classic teams. Now when it comes to MM2005 UNC was a beast along with Louisville.

2005 games are the best across all consoles. Golden age man!

It's always nice to boot up a college hoops game and have both of my city's teams face each other, something that hasn't happened in ages....Wright State must be too chicken to play UD.

Great game 😊

I remember I had this on PS2 Memories

Man those intros never get old

Was that Mr. Terry from Mr. Terry History at the intro? Lmao

This game was so fun bro

We desperately need a college basketball game on PS4

lol I remember watching the trailer for this game cuz Live 05 had it inside the game!

One reason why this game is underrated compared to College Hoops 2K5 is you could export the players on College Hoops to NBA 2K5 like you could with NCAA Football to Madden. That feature was on NCAA March Madness 2004 but for some reason EA decided not to bring it to 05.

Please bring this game back

Nice!

I used too love making teams like Sacred Heart good I do miss college basketball games ❤😢

Have you done a 2k 22 review or madden 17 review yet?

College hoops2k8 is the best one imo I just picked up NCAA 09 with Kevin Love on the cover for my PlayStation 3 because I was jonesing for some recruiting and dynasty mode. NCAA football 13 is awesome I bought that one recently as well for the same thing. I always liked those games more than the pro ones at least in the dynasty modes because recruiting has always been more fun than free agents.

My only issues with the game was not having created team, not being able to play a mycareer, as well as not having created prospects to recruit (these were features in the ncaa games) but overall I enjoyed this game.

7:28 bricks!😂

CH2K8 was one of the best games i ever played. This one was good but i couldn't get into it like that one.

The only college basketball game I ever owned and played. Mostly because I loved NBA Live 05 so much
