Why Players Still Load It Up
College Football USA 97 is a sports video game released in 1996 by EA Sports. The top four teams were flown to New Orleans in January 1997 to attend both the finals and the Sugar Bowl. Reviews for this installment were still positive, but reviewers generally commented that the additions and improvements from College Football USA '96 are too subtle, and advised gamers who already owned the previous installment to carefully consider how important the new features are to them before purchasing.
However, GamePro called the Super NES port "a complete gridiron debacle. Players fly around the field - except for the man with the ball, whose movements slow down and become jerky. The frame rate and animation are poor (the players look armless), and the sound features the most obnoxious whistle in sports gaming history." They rated it a 1.5 out of 5 in graphics and a 0.5 in every other category (sound, control, and fun factor), making it only the second game to receive a 0.5 or lower from GamePro in any category.
