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 - 4/5
