Gameplay

The game's gameplay is similar to NCAA Football 2003, but with updated player stats and rosters. Players can rename players or create their own college team. If the player named the school after one of the schools in the game, the announcers use its name and fight song in the game. The game features new on-field presentation features such as players walking out of their locker room area and then onto the field behind a group of flag bearers. It also features player touchdown celebrations which can result in a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.[ citation needed ]

The game's reviews varied across consoles. According to video game review aggregator Metacritic, the PlayStation 2 release received "universal acclaim" [6] and the GameCube and Xbox releases received "generally favorable" reviews, [8] [7] while the N-Gage release's reviews were "average". [9]

GameSpot named NCAA Football 2004 the best PlayStation 2 game of July 2003. [33]
