    The graphics and audio track are superb, and the player interface, with its customizable game play options, all add up for one amazing and enjoyable experience.

    Basically, everything I could ask for in a hockey game is here. Unfortunately, it has been here for a few years now, and it just isn’t as exciting as it used to be.

    The problem with NHL 2003 is that it's fun, but it just ain't hockey...I'm 30 games into the season, and I have yet to lose one...with the difficulty at Highest. [Dec 2002, p.114]

    Although the anhancements are certainly welcome, spotty AI and blatant computer cheating make it impossible to appreciate the game as a whole. [Jan 2003, p.84]

    If EA Sports would concentrate less on people in the crowd, players blowing their noses or celebrating too much for goals scored, or that childish waste of programming - fighting, and more on equal gameplay for both computer and human players, they would have a much better game.… Expand
