Item Description
College football came to the Dreamcast exactly once, and this was it. NCAA College Football 2K2: Road to the Rose Bowl is Visual Concepts' only college game of the era, built on the NFL 2K engine and released in 2001 as the system's lone answer to EA's NCAA series. Purdue quarterback Drew Brees, fresh off leading the Boilermakers to the Rose Bowl, is on the cover.
The NFL 2K foundation is obvious the moment you snap the ball, right down to defensive linemen trash-talking before the play, but Visual Concepts added new tackle animations and extra attention to the moments before and after each snap. Runners get tripped up at the ankles, receivers leap for passes, and the stereo sound has voices yelling from different directions before the hike. Play-calling uses the familiar 2K layout with five plays per screen, you can even pick plays on your controller's VMU screen to hide them from a friend, and the analog triggers give you precise control of the instant replay speed.
The heart of it is Legacy mode, where you take over a program and try to build a national champion. Your coach can make five recruiting visits a week to top prospects, you hand out spring training points by position, and you cut and redshirt players to set your roster. Scrimmage, Tournament, Exhibition, Season and Tutorial modes round it out, and a Network mode supported online play back when the Dreamcast's online service was running. Critics were cooler on the commentary than on the football itself, which held up well enough that later reviewers compared it favorably with much newer college games.
There was never a sequel, which makes Road to the Rose Bowl a true one-off: a Saturday-afternoon companion to the NFL 2K series and the only place to play Visual Concepts' take on college football on Sega's console.
