A nice package, though certainly not as good as EA or Sega’s version.
The problems arise though with the poor AI and gameplay of the game which is plagued by sketchy animations and goalies that just do not seem to want to stop those easy shots.
A game that really needs a design overhaul – some might like title, but I certainly wouldn’t want to spend more time with it.
I was fairly impressed by Faceoff’s presentation, player models, and intuitive controls. However the weak animations and sub par franchise mode in the game keep Faceoff from achieving greatness.
With too many in game flaws and lack of customization you’ll be lucky if you can get through one season of NHL Faceoff 2003.
It's advisable for both general enthusiasts and die-hard hockey fans to avoid this game for fear of losing interest in the sport.
Stay far away from this rink rat. [Jan 2003, p.134]

Summary A new presentation engine delivers a new level of emotion and intensity never seen before in the FaceOff franchise. Pre-game warm-ups, walks through the tunnel, players pushing and shoving between whistles, banter from the penalty box, post game celebrations and much more. [Sony]
