    Even beyond the football gameplay, you have to appreciate the wealth of extras and activities that make Madden NFL 2003 such an entertaining and complete package.

    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.

    They loaded this year’s ultrarealistic game up with a slew of new features that include online play, a huge arcade-style training camp, and a nifty play creator that’s so versatile that you can have receivers run pass routes that spell your name.

    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

    I give this game a 7 out of 10, not due to its content, but the legacy associated with it. I do not even really like sports games, and I really enjoyed this. The reason it gets a 7: Why didn't they stop at 2003 and focus on making good sports games instead of patching up previous ones and slaping the year it is released onto it?… Expand
