Graphics: 8 The graphics on Madden 2003 overall are good. The field, and the players look great. The field though tends to be a bit dark especially during night games. The cheerleaders are a joke though; How can you program a game and make the cheerleaders look that bad....Boo to them. Sound: 3 (The Bad) Madden 2002 and 2003 have two entirely different music perspectives. 2002 was more hip hop orientated which was nice but too much. 2003 is totally rock orientated. I mean Jon Bon Jovi....Get real!!! There are thousand of other bands they could have included this year. A huge disapointment! The only logical conclusion is that Disney owns ABC and Disney has a reputation to keep up with ie: Hip Hop violence conotations. Yet, here is a song that sounds too much like the f word and the coors light commerical really makes me feel like a true frat jock! Gameplay: 9 Much better controls than last year. I wish there was a feature that would make the team hurry up with a few seconds left on the clock. The elimination of the go-to guy is a plus. 2003's defense is the true improvement this year. Players can view the offensive scheme using the coaches cam. Also, a player can view the entire defensive scheme which is a plus for experianced players. The mini camp mode is a fun addition to 2003. The madden cards are great but you need to pick up other EA titles to obtain all of the cards. Franchise mode is what spoils all sport fans!! I cannot believe that other sport games cannot match the excitement that is found in this franchise mode. The addition of scouting reports is a HUGE plus! The online feature is what will change video games forever! I look foward playiny people from around the world! (what a herb!) Rent or Buy: Buy Buy Buy Buy this game: you will not go wrong with this title....! Unfortunately for the gamer, Madden is the money cow for EA. Each year will bring in new intricate details to the game, but each time they do---they improve! which is important if you and I are going to spend 50 bucks! I hope the other sport games learn from on of the greatest video game series ever overall - 4/5Read full review
he PlayStation 2 version of Madden NFL 2003 has the distinction of being the first console version of Madden football to go online, and while that adds a significant amount of replay value to the game, most will probably find that the other modes in the game are more entertaining. The franchise mode has an incredible amount of depth; the minicamp minigames are incredibly fun; and the play editor is probably the best in any football game to date. If you're relatively knowledgeable about the sport of professional football, then you'll want to check out some of the customizable options, namely the playbook editor, before jumping into a game. Like with most other playbook editors, you can scour various playbooks from coaches around the league and pick plays that you'd like to add to your own repertoire, but this option also gives you the ability to create your own unique formation, and from that you can create an entirely new play. Basically, you'll be presented with a grid and a series of circles representing the players on the field. You can move the receiver, tight end, and running back circles almost anywhere on the grid, which gives you the opportunity to create some really weird-looking formations, but you can only move the quarterback in a line perpendicular to the center. In addition, you still need to have the proper number of players at the line of scrimmage, so there are some limitations put in to accommodate the rules. When you're done setting up the formation, you can go into the create-a-play option and decide whether it will be a running or a passing play. If it's a running play, then you can indicate which direction the running back has to go and indicate blocking assignments for offensive linemen and receivers. Conversely, if you're creating a passing play, you can either use one of the preset routes (such as a post, a streak, or a curl) or create your own route--needless to say, you can create some pretty crazy routes that will undoubtedly make things difficult for the computer- or human-controlled opponent playing zone coverage. Finally, you can test the play and make any final adjustments before integrating it into your playbook. The defensive play editor is almost identical--it lets you make your own formations and place defensive players just about anywhere on the grid. Other editable options include the ability to make your own team and players and to adjust rosters before starting the game. As with any football game, the heart of Madden NFL 2003 is its franchise mode, in which you can take a team through numerous NFL seasons while trying to get to the Super Bowl every year. After you select your team, you can go through the roster and switch players around or just look at some statistics to see who some of your better players are. You can also make changes to your coaching options by selecting a primary defense type, as well as your preference for offensive and defensive strategies. In addition, there's a league news section where you can find out about all the latest transactions or injuries that have occurred over the course of the season. Making trades, signing free agents, and other such front-office duties are a pretty straightforward affair--you can trade up to three players at once, offer contracts to free agents, release players, or re-sign players and extend their contracts........Read full review
