Coach's Corner: Virtual Control
Are you more than ready to take it to the opposition,
but tired of trying to remember all of those buttons?
Well, for those of you who just want to get down to
the business of playing football, allow Sega Sports to
introduce you to your new best friend - Virtual Control.
Virtual Control is an analog-focused control system that
will allow you to perform any of the game's moves
without ever moving your hands from a natural position
on the thumbsticks. You will be closer to the field than
ever before! Getting the most out of this advanced
control mode will take some practice, so be sure to look
at how the system works by examining Virtual Control
commands, found in parentheses () alongside their
standard companions throughout this manual.

Coach's Corner: Bluff Mode
When you are playing against another human opponent,
the last thing you want them to know is what play you
are calling. To keep the defense guessing, press the
A
button and keep it held down. You can then scroll
through other pages of plays or formations to hide your
play. When you release the
A
button, it will call the
play you originally selected.
When you are playing a game with more than one
person per team (e.g. two-on-two), either player on the
team can select a play. If you are on offense, the first
person to enter a play will be the quarterback. Be
careful though, both players will be able to select the
play at the same time, so you will want to designate
who the playcaller will be.
Coach's Corner: AI Play Calling
Need a hand? Then ask NCAA 2K3 for assistance.
During play calling, press the
A
button once and either
the offensive or defensive coordinator for your team
will suggest a play. Press the
A
button again to accept
the selection.
