The Most Underrated College Basketball Game of All Time

NCAA March Madness 2005 is a very underrated game. While 2K’s college hoops series is still talked about to this day, specifically the legendary final title in that series, College Hoops 2K8, EA’s series was also really solid, and March Madness 2005 is a classic basketball game I rarely see mentioned anymore.

Back when EA made video games instead of shameless cash grabs.

I don’t know about you guys but I think that guy is passionate about the Utes ☠️

[PassingTheJ]

Damn you can feel the passion in this game....damn dude

[Maal]

I couldn’t stop playing this game when it was out. So fun playing with the classic teams.

I miss college basketball games so much. The love for college hoops 2k8 and NCAA Basketball 10 was crazy. I play those dynasty modes non stop. I can only imagine what you would be able to do in this era with the technology now. 😢

God, those old intros were amazing. Big fan of the NHL ones.

[jameshoops]

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!

[kenstermcnine]

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

[offelijah]

Imagine if they put this type of efforts into sports games nowadays.😔

[MikstrHD]

Man this game was an absolute favorite of mine, my dad got it for me when I was 7 and I loved it ever since.

[ZeusAmun-ptdc]

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.

[Adam-oiqc]

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

[chiefwidemarsh]

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.

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. 😁

[TheSp]

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.
