Where March Madness really falters, however, is in its startling lack of gameplay modes.
-
Improves in gameplay terms upon its NBA counterpart, but even as a first-year effort, the options and features available in the game are rather paltry.
-
Where March Madness doesn't compete is in the game play respect afforded to the big timers - "NBA Live 2002" and "NBA 2K2." The game has a slower pace and a less hurried feel than real basketball.
-
May leave gamers feeling a bit unfulfilled because of the lack of features and game modes.

Official U.S. Playstation MagazineMake no mistake, its heads and shoulders above 989 Sports college hoops game, but thats like saying a hamburger is more edible than rancid, worm-covered meat. [Feb 2002, p.110]
-
The only saving grace that can be found is the actual gameplay because without it, it falls into the "Dont touch with a stick" category.
-
It doesn't even have a single Season mode...Personally, I wouldn't go near this game with a ten-foot pole.
-
The out-of-control sliding physics are present and accounted for, causing more turnovers and frustration than is healthy for anyone to experience.
