Kicking off the 2004 EA Sports videogame season, NCAA Football 2004, is available in stores. Last year, NCAA Football 2003 was the number two selling football game behind Madden NFL 2003, but ahead of the pro football games from every other publisher.
NCAA Football 2004 brings the college atmosphere found only on the field Saturdays in college stadiums into players' hands, with 20 new mascots, over 150 new teams including classic teams like 1924 Notre Dame and 2002 Ohio State and new 1-A conferences like the Big Sky, Southern, Gateway and A-10. Players can relive the intensity, pageantry, and spirit of college football and celebrate the loyalty and tradition of college football's storied rivalries. Featuring new pre-game tunnel presentations, such as Notre Dame's entrance from the Play Like a Champion tunnel as well as the specific school celebrations like the University of Texas cannon shots after touchdowns, make you feel like you are sitting inside the stadium on gameday.
New this year is EA Sports online competition (for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system only) and EA Sports Talk in-game chat (USB headset and broadband connection required). Dynasty Mode has added rankings and fresh stories each week on a Sports Illustrated cover, including updates on polls and the Heisman Race.
NCAA Football 2004 is available on the PlayStation 2 console, the Xbox video game system from Microsoft and the Nintendo GameCube for a suggested retail price of USD 49.95.
