NCAA Football 2003

Highly impressed with the newest football game of the upcoming season, should satisfy football fans to the hilt. I recommend this for a full-fledged purchase and encourage you to enjoy the game to the fullest and take your time. It's a wonderful experience that truly has limitless replay.

EA still has the competition in pigskin territory, both in sales and actual quality. Though EA could have easily gotten away with releasing a rehash of last years game, they tried new things. Although it's true that what they did add (Mascot games among other things) are nothing more than diversions it's still nice to see developers trying new things. Other than adding new, zanier modes developer Tiburon has also heavily tweaked the already stellar football gameplay. If you're a sports game fan, and think you'd like to play as the Ducks instead of the Cowboys, then go ahead and buy this game. You won't regret it. Promise.

Even though NCAA Football 2003 is making its debut on Xbox and GameCube this summer, the word of mouth from legions of satisfied PS2 owners who fell in love with the 2002 edition have given EA's college football franchise considerable buzz. It is yet another football game and it is built using the next generation Madden NFL engine, but NCAA Football 2003 is a whole different ball game because of the nature of the college game itself and Tiburon's attention to detail in bringing that college game to life.
