It also features an exhibition game between the 1997 AP Poll national champion team Michigan Wolverines against the 1997 Coaches Poll champion team Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Reception

The game received favorable reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[3][4] Next Generation said of the PlayStation version, "Although it doesn't break any new ground, NCAA 99 has enough new features and improvements to make it a worthwhile purchase."[21]

The staff of PC Gamer US nominated the PC version as the best sports game of 1998, although it lost to NBA Live 99. They wrote that the former "turned out to be the year's finest pigskin offering, despite a healthy challenge from EA Sports' own Madden NFL 99."[26]
