God I loved this game. Had tourneys on the Genesis with this, NBA Live 95, World Series Baseball and NHL 95. Damn we were serious about sports games back then.
My cousin and I battled on this game for many years! We still believe to this day that the name of the team on top before the coin toss has something major to do with who gets the benefits of the calls that game. We found at least one glitch in the game on 2 point conversions. If the offense fumbles the ball and pulls all their players away fast enough the defense recovers and has to kick off to the team who just scored a TD! We would always try to find the one fast guy who was at 100% speed and health and hadn't been used all game and he would run so fast that the pitch got fumbled on the 2 point conversion.This game is as good as any college football game out there with the way it captures things in college like the diving, the guy being caught from behind, the wind, etc.
I got this INSTEAD of Madden that year on accident (grandparents don't know the difference); and I ended up loving it. I played it constantly for months
Such a classic. These games are so pure. This is before EA developed Cheat AI and "Beast Mode" as the only ways to challenge human gamers. Takes me back. I might just have to go buy a Genesis to play this one more time.
Looks a lot like Madden, from graphics, to plays (Def, not Off formations), to video boxes of the crowd. I guess EA just substitued John Madden for Bill Walsh and went for it!
It's definitely the same engine, but overall this game is the best iteration EA released from that engine. College Football 96 and 97 improved a few cosmetic and functional things but lost a lot of what made 95 so enjoyable.
Seeing this made me wanna burst into tears. lol Nah not really...but this was my first game EVER...and I played it 'til it jumped out of my Sega and screamed, "ENOUGH!!!!!"
i was never great at this game...guys in college that were could still never beat me when they played me...I only ran 2 plays with michigan...loved this game!!
@bentiale both games were great for the time, i had them both, its been so long since i played them that i couldnt really give you a reason why one wasbetter than the other, what was it that you think was better? thanks and take care, thanks for mentioning the "joe" montana for sega
This was the early NCAA, and it follows the same style. Remove nfl,players, numbers etc...for NCAA stuff. I liked it when you would get scolded by the coordinators for screwing up.

i used to love this game when i was a kid, played it all the time.
In my opinion this was the best football game on the sega genesis, it probably was the best football game of that era.
Thank you so much for posting! I absolutely loved this game! I had a notebook were I kept all of my stats for the season!
Same here bruh. It was that important!!
Yeah yo... I played the mess out of this game. I loved it. Especially the Interceptions. Shoot, this game is the reason I have NCAA11.

this was for sure the best football game of it's time

Friend of mine had this when we were kids. We would all crowd around a tv and play it all weekend.
Such a good game, many fond memories of this.
I loved this freakin game ! Ahead of it time , a CLASSIC.
Classic Genesis music.
This game and NBA Live 95 ♥️
This game was what I wanted Madden 95 to be like...
Possibly the best football game ever

College Football is currently on ABC.
Had this on Sega CD at 7 yrs old. My dad use to joke this is the reason why my mom and he split up. We would play and argue like hell.
Yo can we get a band soundtrack of every college football team on here??
Man I used to play this shit out of this game. So many good teams. Bo was so unstoppable Bill Walsh 94 was the best one
I love the band music before the game starts
Yeah... in the 90's. When THIS was the best you had.
This is still the best football game ever to me.
Yep
@ROMEYYOUROCK There's a good chance they would have but it'd be cool if Penn State at least had a shot at the upset
Ki-Jana Carter and Kerry Collins lmao
Seeing this made me wanna burst into tears. lol Nah not really...but this was my first game EVER...and I played it 'til it jumped out of my Sega and screamed, "ENOUGH!!!!!"
I used to get my ass kicked in this game but these days I kick those same asses in madden
Penn State had the Best D Line & Running Back Combo
Florida State was unstoppable. The sorriest game player could easily score 30 pts
I played that game alot of times on the genises when i was a little boy
i was never great at this game...guys in college that were could still never beat me when they played me...I only ran 2 plays with michigan...loved this game!!
@MikePike5 yeah i remember playing it a little... i played a lot of NHL for the genesis
This was an awesome game,
i use to love this game
@psuzeppelin5 I absolutely agree. I wish the Big 10 didn't have their contract with the Rose Bowl.
@bentiale both games were great for the time, i had them both, its been so long since i played them that i couldnt really give you a reason why one wasbetter than the other, what was it that you think was better?
thanks and take care, thanks for mentioning the "joe" montana for sega
@mts0189 Agreed... the should be champions of 94
me vs. my brother notre dame vs Miami a hundred times a day. I had the rocket and tony rice. My bro had Gino Toretta and alot of fast receivers
I use Colorado and would dominate with Kordell Stewart
thanks i didnt know how to do a field goal!
I played this game a ton!
@MikePike5 no problem man
Just now realized that being a PSU fan might look bad on this video hahaha
Hello. I suscribe your channel. Like
@starwarsboy9 If you were going for sarcasm there, you probably didn't play this stuff growing up like most of us
@ShakeDown2012 yeah agreed... great game
Thumbs up if Entourage brought you here.
Better game than ncaa 2018
@mlang28 They should've put in Georgia Tech or Oklahoma State or somebody instead
TIM TEBOW!!!
Thank you
@29Texan Agreed
@starwarsboy9 Oh alright... it's cool man
@setemupSK agreed man
wow it doesnt look too bad
@MysteryGameGeEk3000 I AGREE!!! and joe montana had nothing on this
This was the early NCAA, and it follows the same style. Remove nfl,players, numbers etc...for NCAA stuff. I liked it when you would get scolded by the coordinators for screwing up.
please tell me you can play this on xbox360????
Did players get an age bonus on Penn State depending how young they were?
@psuzeppelin5 Nebraska would have mopped the floor with them.
The play calling by PSU is terrible. Hard to watch.
Especially the fact that it's an actual human playing
never understood why north carolina was in this game, they sucked then like they do now!
john montana for sega megadrive was better
@bentiale Have to disagree but I respect your opinion
This is atrocious. People actually played this?!
It's growing up in the 80s and 90s, this was really impressive. The gameplay is very good and simple.
The players sound like 13 year old kids. Good music, utterly pathetic sound effects.
