ESPN College Hoops (sometimes mislabeled as ESPN College Basketball 2K4[3]) is an American college basketball video game which was initially released on November 11, 2003 for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. It is the sequel to the debut game of the series, NCAA College Basketball 2K3, and the first game in the series to feature the ESPN license. It features former Texas Longhorns and retired NBA guard T. J. Ford on the cover.
The game received "favorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4][5]GamePro called it "a fine hoops title with a plentiful feature set. It's not the dominant game that its NBA brother is, but it's still very worthy of a look."[3][b]
