In Season Mode, you will get to compete in the regular 2001 schedule all the way through the bowl games and the National Championship, if your team is good enough.

[. . . ] Once you take control of a player, that player is under your control until the play ends, or until you press B to control another player.

Do you want to go online and square off against another human opponent?Then network play is your selection. MAIN MENU Scrimmage: Brush up on your favorite team's formations and plays. Legacy: Compete year in and year out to build one of the nation's premier football programs. Quick Start: Let the computer choose the teams for a quick exhibition game. This isn't old school AI where you could call the same plays over and over again. To win, you are going to have to mix up your plays on offense and defense. If you have great cornerbacks, you can gamble more with blitzes and man-to-man coverage. If you have a great running back, then pound the ball out on the ground. For the offensive playbook, passing plays are displayed in blue, running plays are displayed in red, and option plays are displayed in yellow. CHOOSING TEAMS Note: the team on the left is the visitors, and the team on the right is at home. To make it easier to find the team you are looking for, the teams are grouped by conference. Then move down (Analog stick or D-Pad) to select your team (using the X and A buttons again). For a change of pace, you can also change the playbook your team is using. Want to see what your team would look like running an option offense, then select an option school like Nebraska. Pause Menu The Pause Menu allows you to stop gameplay and call a time out, select your audibles, make substitutions, view the replay, change the game options and controller configuration, adjust the game camera angles, and view the current stats. When you are playing with more than one person, the player who pressed the Start Button to enter the Pause Menu has control of selecting all of the above options. CONTROLLER ASSIGNMENT SCREEN Once you've selected the teams, the Controller Assignment screen appears. Press the analog stick or D-Pad LEFT / RIGHT to align your controller with the team you wish to command. If you wish to use Maximum Passing (and you should to get the ultimate NCAA 2K2 experience), press the A Button to toggle it on. When everything is set the way you want, press the Start Button to advance to the game. COIN TOSS The visiting team gets to call it.
