I have played over 8 hours of this game on the XBox and am amazed! At first, I thought it looked, smelled and tasted just like last year's version, but I am here to tell you, this game surpasses last year's version by far. I am an avid 29 year old gamer and work to play games. I own an XBox, PS2, and broadband, but chose the XBox version of NCAA 2004 because of the superb graphical output (HDTV) and dolby digital tracks. I have a killer home theater system that takes advantage of these features. I have always been a PS2 supporter, but I am slowly but surely changing my focus over to the XBox. The smoother gameplay, better graphics, and better sound was enough for me to switch. I like to play dynasty and franchise modes more than playing online. The only reason this game is getting lower scores on XBox than PS2 is because of online capability. Don't listen to them. Trick your dynasty out and have fun. If you don't have this game, go out and get it now, you won't be sorry.
