The game was the first of two college football games developed by Visual Concepts and Avalanche Software, the second being NCAA College Football 2K3. The game features season mode, hopefully leading up to the Rose Bowl, and Legacy Mode, where the player can follow their team for a few years. It also features online play and customizable plays, players, and teams. The Sugar, Orange, and Fiesta bowls aren't licensed although all other bowls represented are.

The game and the rest of the 2K titles on the Dreamcast have had their online components revived and are completely playable online. [1]
