Gameplay


NCAA March Madness 98 features a Dynasty Mode which lets players manage and play using a team over a number of years, requiring them to replace graduating seniors with freshmen players.[1]

The game also uses the crowds as a gameplay mechanic. A "Momentum Meter" responds to a team scoring consecutive baskets or making a big play, upon which the crowd roars and the players of the momentum-gaining team receive a temporary boost to their abilities.[1]


Development


NCAA March Madness 98 was built with a revamped version of the NBA Live 97 game engine, utilizing that game's animation data with the addition of a few new motion captured moves from Tim Duncan and others.[1] Developer Electronic Arts consulted with collegiate coach Lou Carnesecca in designing the game's artificial intelligence.[2] A PC version of the game was in development but was cancelled.[3]


Reception


The game received favorable reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[4] Next Generation called it "an overwhelmingly mediocre game in which what was done well is overshadowed by shortcomings."[13]
