Electronic Art's 2004 incarnation of the NCAA Basketball franchise, NCAA March Madness 2005 , comes with some brand new features. With a sophisticated play calling system you can call your plays while still moving the ball down the court to get your team mates in contention. The dynasty mode goes up to 30 years with a recruiting system that keeps up to date of your prospects while keeping your other players in line just in case they decide to stray from their studies or worse. You can play one on one against the computer or against a buddy, playing in custom tournaments, rivalry games or even play as your favorite teams mascots. It also features the all-new Pontiac College Classics, allowing you to recreate classic games from the past or even rewrite history. The game also features the voices of Brad Nessler and Dick Vitale.
The gameplay is fast-paced and exciting, with a focus on realistic basketball action. You can control your team members individually, making adjustments to their movements and actions during the game. With a variety of modes available, including one-on-one matches against the computer or a friend, you'll never be short of options for entertainment. Whether you're looking to win championships or simply enjoy some friendly competition, NCAA March Madness 2005 has something for everyone.
NCAA March Madness 2005 is available on the Xbox console and was released on November 17, 2004.
