  • While NCAA College Football 2K3 wasn't a great game, it is a very interesting game considering the fact that it was 2K's second and final college football game.

    All 2k needs to do:
    Generic college game similar to Maximum Football with 130 fully editable teams and conferences. Put that on next gen consoles with the same engine and mechanics that 2k5 and 2k8 featured. Instant best seller.

      Wasn’t the reason they stopped making College Football that no one bought them? Maybe that would be different now, with how people feel about Madden. But licenseless football is likely a really hard sell for a big ass company.

    Bro you should do Madden 12 on the Wii it is pretty fun, doesn't have create a team (at least I don't think it does because I can't find it) but I just had a lot of fun playing franchise and on the play before taking the snap you can draw a route for your WR to do. Please check it out it is so fun. And also Madden highkey using assets from that game for example there is a 5v5 mode when you click play now and it looks just like the yard besides making your own character and stuff please bro I would love to see you review the game on the Wii.
    Edit: It's definitely not Madden 08 level but for its time and the amount of stuff you can do in the game on the Wii is extraordinary.

    As much as I HATE EA, those of us alive and football gaming during the 2001-2008 years were absolutely spoiled. The EA NCAA series were simply fantastic year-in-year out, and I'm still playing NCAA 04/05/06/07 to this day. I really miss the feel of that engine, I think EA struck gold with it. Not to mention the fact that we also had the amazing 2K Football series was simply icing on the cake. It's too bad 2K only released 2 college football games. Imagine what they could have become if they released college football on the 2K5 engine. Either way, we had so many amazing options, I miss these days a lot.

Doesn’t play back as well now but so many fond memories!

    My only worry is that the team that made 2K5 and APF2K8 is sadly long gone....I feel like those games were once-in-a-lifetime releases. In this day and age with micro-transactions, buggy release days, etc. has me worried that even if 2K starts making football games again, they simply won't feel or be the same.
    Think about what we got with 19.99 when buying 2K5? It was an absolute STEAL and chock-full of content, extra features, goodies...it was a steal.

    you make a video on putting together the ultimate football game
    what i mean by that is taking different aspects of a football (maybe more specifically an nfl) game and highlighting the games that showcased each aspect the best to create "the ultimate football game"
    for example (example not my opinion)
    madden 21 graphics
    backbreaker's tackling
    nfl 2k's physics
    all pro football 2k8's gameplay
    nfl 2k5's depth + franchise
    ncaa + madden's compatibility (i.g. importing draft classes)
    etc.
    I think it would be a really cool idea

    still don't understand why they can't create a college football game where all players in the game are set to 1 general look at the beginning and we all then go in and can edit all of them team by team (roster share/download within the community) ... hell if not give us a high school football game then and just make everything customizable schools/leagues/players/uniforms/stadiums/coaches/CIF tournament per state then CIF state champions have a nation wide tournament ,,,,,, no recruiting but can make it you have new incoming freshman every year and you have to help them year in & year out via practice mode or short game simulation mode develop into freshmen team starters then JV caliber player & finally varsity team starter ,, literally would be funner than madden

    Honestly I replayed the game and the gameplay is honestly realistic from guys getting trucked to a guy juking the only thing it lacks is the atmosphere I think the gameplay is still better because of realism I would say it's one of the better football games I played from how the guys block the presentation is lacking but for the time I'm surprised this game isnt more popular it's better than ncaa 03 it's a challenging game which even in ncaa 14 it's just too easy in my opinion you can use a ranked team and lose as far as being the 3rd year on the ps2 I consider it a gem the playbooks leave some things to be desired and it depends on your quarterback stats if you have rex Grossman from Florida you're probably going to throw dots but you can miss on passes too even using cody Pickett the game is fun even slow guys can sometimes get out and get a couple of yards to turn on the jets the atmosphere just lacks what you feel going to LSU or the zoo or husky stadium when they were good outside of that honestly a excellent game

    If 2K can get the licensing to the NCAA that would be amazing. Because not only could we get college football but also college basketball and potentially college baseball or even college hockey.

    please do the rise and fall of the ea sports nhl series kind of like you did madden and nba live. most hardcore fans agree that the nhl seires has been pretty awful since going to next gen ps4 and xb1 generation. they had improved in some ways but the game still has yet to return to it former glory on the seventh generation of console. hopefully you do the ea sports nhl rise and fall video soon before the 2022

    If 2K does return to football, NCAA Football could be a great backdoor way to get the NFL rights back for sim games..

    How about the 989 studio PlayStation exclusive games like NFL gameday series or NCAA Football game breaker?

    It was a good start…
    They needed to hand blue sky the nfl2k4 engine
    And let them do as they like, while looking at the nfl2k teams work
