  • Summary: Sega Sports NCAA College Football 2K3 recreates the college atmosphere like never before - from the field, with plays like the wishbone and other triple options, to the sidelines, with school-specific cheerleaders and mascots, to the stadium, with rabid student sections and bands striking up fight songs, to the presentation, enhanced with a completely new ESPN broadcast system. And behind the scenes, it's big-time BCS pressure as you assemble your team from the country's top prep prospects, prepare in rigorous, off-season spring practices, and endure a competitive Division I-A schedule. Three ranking systems - the Writers Poll, Coaches Poll, and BCS Standings - track your team's progress throughout the season and determine which teams will play in the 25 post-season bowl games. Strive for perfection and the spoils of gridiron success are yours - the Heisman trophy, a BCS Championship, and your shot at campus immortality. [Sega] Expand

    While all this is great, it still comes up a tad short compared to EA’s NCAA football game, especially in the college atmosphere category.
  2. The game seems to lack an overall level of polish, as you'll see some questionable AI and some occasional bouts of slowdown in the PS2 version of the game. Still, the gameplay itself is rock-solid.
  3. A good-looking college football title that, despite being high on gameplay modes and playbook strategies, isn't quite as fine tuned to the sport it portrays as "NCAA Football 2003".
  4. We would like to have seen a bit more effort put into the dynasty mode. [Oct 2002, p.35]
