NCAA Basketball

About

NCAA Basketball drops you into the action with an over-the-shoulder camera that lines up shots like a player on the court. Pick from five major college conferences and build your squad through tournament play or face off in exhibition matches. You call the plays switch lineups and feel the crowd react to every made basket. The focus is on quick decisions and timing as you navigate through rounds to reach the Final Four. Out of the box this 1992 title stood out for its perspective which made it feel more hands-on than most sports games of the era. Available on Arcade and SNES it offered a straightforward college basketball experience with no frills just pure tournament grind. The lack of multiplayer beyond head-to-head exhibitions keeps it simple but the path to a championship still requires strategy.
