    For hardcore football fans, Madden NFL 2003 is a must-own. From the assortment of modes to in-depth features like the playbook editor, this game was made for those who appreciate the intricacies of football.

    Madden 2003 is the best overall football game ever made, period...Denying it the perfect score it so richly deserves just because "NFL 2K3" comes soooo close to unseating it would be a crime.

    The game also includes a cool behind the scenes footage of the game and interviews with coverboy Marshall Faulk, John Madden, Al Michaels and Melissa Stark.

    A can't-miss because it accurately simulates NFL gameplay, NFL commentary, NFL uniforms, NFL stadiums and NFL players and that's what football gamers are looking for.

    This is the best game ever for the PS2. Very realistic and very in depth. No other football game even comes close.

    The game play is excellent but I must say that when in All Madden the DB's are super human, doing impossible things. Part of this is due to the play call but there are instances where they just can't do some of the things they are doing in the game... … Expand

    This would be the best football gmae in the world if they worked out the bugs (for the pc) before they released it. I spent 3 hours fixing the stupid thing and 1 hour playing it. But the game play was incredible. The learning curve is steeper than other madden games which indicates a very deep game. I also find it almost impossible to run the ball with any efficiency--except on rookie mode. Perhaps I need to practice more. Bottom line. I love the game but it sure does piss me off.… Expand
