NCAA March Madness 2005 screens and info

As you dribble the ball up the floor, a play calling screen that looks similar to Madden or NCAA Football will pop up in the bottom right corner showing three plays, plays that will be authentic to your school. You can scroll through six offensive sets (three per page) and select the best one for the situation, but don't take too long, especially on the road, as the home court advantage (similar to home field advantage in NCAA Football) has also been added, so if you thought it was tough to hit a shot on the road before, try coming through in the clutch with thousands of Carolina fans booing your every move, camera and controller shake and all.

Timeouts also work into the game's strategy as you'll have 30 seconds to sub, quell momentum, ask the coach, and go over your strategy. You'll watch as the clock ticks down and the pressure really gets to you as you try to button through everything as fast as possible. You'll know why so many coaches are bald once you start doing this as you'll be pulling your hair out trying to do everything before time runs out.

40 classic teams have also been added so fans of the Fab 5 and North Carolina's squad from '82 can finally check out their favorite squads on the virtual floor. There will also be All-Time teams from certain schools, like the All-Time Duke and Syracuse teams. Recruiting in Dynasty will also be improved, including recruiting pipelines with specific high schools.

Interesting play calling, should make it much more of a factor in the game, something basketball games have been needing for a while.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
Wow that sounds pretty damn cool.
