Gameplay

The 1999 installment of EA Sports college football game. NCAA 99 features the 1998 rosters of over a hundred division 1A teams with accurate stadiums, uniforms, and (in some cases) fight songs. There are also 80 "historical" teams that allow you to recreate great college football games of the past. The featured exhibition game is a match up between the 1997 AP Poll national champion Michigan Wolverines and the 1997 Coaches Poll champion Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Although it doesn't break any new ground, NCAA 99 has enough new features and improvements to make it a worthwhile purchase."[1]

PC Gamer US nominated NCAA Football 99 as the best sports game of 1998, although it lost to NBA Live 99. They wrote that NCAA Football 99 "turned out to be the year's finest pigskin offering, despite a healthy challenge from EA Sports' own Madden NFL 99."[2]
