The Ivy League is present, so you can match up Harvard and Yale, or you can take such legendary small schools as Grambling State and Howard University and see what they can do. Another new feature is the Create A School feature, which lets you start up your own team, picking its location, enrollment, play style, etc. There are a good number of logos to choose from here, though there are only 3 different uniform sets. I am hoping more will be added for the final release. The major bowl games are all represented, and this year the Heisman Trophy has been added, rather than just the generic MVP award of years past.
Control is very much like last year's game, maybe a bit tighter.
Players familiar with last year's game will be able to dive right in with NCAA 2000. After playing this beta version extensively, it seems that EA Sports answered my prayers. I loved last year's game so much that I was hoping EA would simply improve upon it, rather than do a complete overhaul. Such overhauls can be disastrous, as any who played NBA Live 98 on the Playstation can tell you. Gamers looking for a completely new experience from last year's model may be disappointed by NCAA 2000, but for those of us who know that the play's the thing, EA Sports may be delivering in spades.
