Reception

The game received "mixed or average reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [3] [4] Dan Egger of NextGen said of the PlayStation 2 version, "Football fans would be best served by waiting until next year." [19] (Ironically, the next PlayStation 2 game was not NCAA GameBreaker 2002 but NCAA GameBreaker 2003 , which was released two years after this game.)

Uncle Dust of GamePro said of the PlayStation version in one review, "While this year's NCAA Football might offer a better Dynasty mode and more customization, NCAA GameBreaker 2001 grabs the championship with its fast, fun gameplay." [23] [lower-alpha 4] In another GamePro review, Cheat Monkey called it "a fine package that delivers some wild college football action. It's got all the game modes that a college fan would want, and though the sound and graphics are a bit behind the rest of the package, you'd have to be asleep not to get fired up for the college football in GameBreaker 2001." [24] [lower-alpha 5] Human Tornado said of the PlayStation 2 version, "If you want some freewheeling college gridiron action this year, then GameBreaker 2001 is the only PS2 game in town." [25] [lower-alpha 6]
