Gameplay

NCAA Basketball: Road to the Final Four 2 is a college basketball simulation which includes all 64 teams that appeared in the 1994 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. [7] All of the players have their own individual AI engine that makes use of actual NCAA statistics. [2]

Development

The game was originally scheduled to release in September 1993. [8] The title was produced by Todd Howard. [1] Bethesda used the input of some current and former NCAA coaches as well as some former players in developing the format for the game. [9]

Reception

The Age said "The innovative "chase-camera perspective" feature probably won’t be enough to hook players with an aversion to sports sims, but it will sit well with fans of the genre" [14]
