Amazon.com Review

Talk about complete! NCAA GameBreaker features all 115 division 1-A teams and 64 of the best college-football dynasty teams in the history of the NCAA. This version's Total Control Mode allows you to fine-tune your passing game or send a running back for a short pass out of the backfield to throw off the defense. Add a newly modified career mode, and this game has all the trimmings that might give this title a pass to a big bowl game in January.

The motion capture has been redone, and the on-field tackling and blocking animations are crisp and clean looking. The animations keep up with the gameplay, and the control is the best part of this game.

Unfortunately, the sound is terrible. If a running back is gonna get tackled, then it should at least sound like a running back is getting tackled. Not to mention the crowd noise--it's more of a hiss than a roar. Keith Jackson is back doing the commentary this year. But like Madden's voice-overs on the Nintendo 64, Jackson has very little to actually say, and his phrases get repetitious fast.

GameBreakeris ultimately a solid NCAA pigskin simulation that fans should enjoy. In any case, it's still a lot cheaper than sending the kids to college! --Todd Mowatt

Pros:

• Modified career mode
• Great control

Cons:

• Terrible sound effects
• Keith Jackson's small repertoire of phrases quickly becomes repetitive

Product Description

NCAA GAMEBREAKER 2001 has 115 Division I-A teams, 64 classic teams, an improved Total Control Passing interface, and more than 20 Bowl games. College football icon Keith Jackson provides the play-by-play commentary, adding even more realism to an already believable simulation. You can also take advantage of Total Control Passing, which lets you lead or underthrow receivers, just like a real quarterback would do, depending on the coverage situation. You can hit the field in Scrimmages, Fantasy Leagues, Tournament Seasons, Bowl Seasons, and Bowl games, such as the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl. You can also draft your players into the current version of NFL GAMEDAY, giving you the satisfaction of helping a college player realize his dreams of playing in the NFL. The Career mode also returns, starting you off at a small school and challenging you to promote through the ranks and ultimately earn a shot at the National Championship. If you're looking for the ultimate college football sim, you've found it in NCAA GAMEBREAKER 2001.

Gamebreaker is year in and year out the best college football game, and with the changes that 989 made this year, they will reign again. If you like head to head action and playing against freinds, this si the game for you. 2001 will also feature the poular career mode, where you coach a program to glory or defeat!

NCAA Gamebreaker 2001 is a solid game, and it is much improved over last year's title. I found this to be more fun than EA's rehash, and I really like playing it. Casual fans will probably enjoy NFL GAMEDAY 2001 more, but being a college football fan, I really enjoyed what is here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, But EA is Better, September 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: NCAA GameBreaker 2001 (Video Game)

This is a good game if you can't get a hold of EA Sports College Football 2001. The AI of the PSX is great so that you cannot continually beat teams and the career mode is fun where you jump from school to school just like a real coach. The problems are that you actually fumble the ball when you are running by yourself and the recruiting is a joke. Plus tackling is much too hard. They treat every running back like he is Suan Alexander.
