This rocks!

It's a sweet game with stunning graphics and gameplay!!! A Must buy!!!!

This game is really good. The only problem I have is the menus. Overall, this is a great game and any hockey fan should pick it up.

TWO WORDS FOR THIS GAME. SUCKS ASS... This was the worst game i ever played. what were the critics smoking when they reviewed this game. it is one of the worst games ever. i've seen better hockey in NHL 93. Come on now. Someone once told me, "YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH EA SPORTS." That person was right. The camera view is horrible. Commentary is terrible, and gameplay is just plain bad.. Oh yea, the sound in this game sucks ass as well.. you can't hear anything, and their is no major checking. You cant even tell if they scored if it wasnt for that red light in the backround. I would not recommend this game to anyone.. YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH EA SPORTS!!!!!… Expand

Best hockey game of the year. Graphics are great as well as the gameplay. great features. this game passes all other competition.

This is the first hockey game I have played extensively since NHL 94! I have played NHL 2003, and NHL Hitz 20 03, and Faceoff 2003, as well as other past editions, and NHL 2K3 delivers! You can block shots, either only on your knees, or dropping completely, pin against the boards, deke, hook from behind, body check, shoot slap shots, wrist shots, one timers, fight, and more! The franchise mode isn't quite as extensive as NBA 2K3, but it is still really good, trading players, and so on. You even have access to the players still in the Juniors if you lose players to injuries. And if that's not enough, there's tons of sliders and options to adjust the game the way you like it. Definitely the best hockey game on the planet right now! A MUST for the avid hockey gamer!… Expand

As a Canadian I'm a pretty big fan of hockey. I played every game of the 2003 variety..cept for Hitz cuz ppl told me that game was just useless LoL. 2K3 is the first game where you can do pretty much everything in franchise mode. Players get better according to how they play, not how high their potential rating is like in EA's 2003. Which is kinda stupid when you have a 50 goal scorer with a lower rating the next year than a player who scored 2 goals and sat out 50 games. So buy this game..you'll get yer bang for the buck.… Collapse

The absolute best hockey game I've ever played. It's the first game I've played that forces you to play smart, realistic offense to set up scoring chances. My only gripes are that the commentary could be better and at times the goalies are a little too good.

This is the best hockey game i have ever played. It has excellent graphics, fabulous commentary, hard checking, and great sound. GO WINGS!

If you're looking for a game that is neither sim nor arcade, a game where the commentary is horrible and names pronounced wrong. a game where the play stops for no reason, and faceoffs are taken in ungodly places. if your looking for a game where 21 year olds retire at the end of the season and super nintendo graphics then you should definitely pick up this game!!!!!

Hmm...Big Ed, Johnny V, and D-Chase all sound oddly similar...Maybe it's because they are all the same gay fag, who likes to play crappy arcade hockey...This game blows away the competition, and is not in any way comparable to those boring EA games. In 2K3, you actually have to think, and use your head if you want to win...probably why ed, johhny and chase can't play it...superb goalie animations, nice graphics, and ultra realistic, you can't go wrong by choosing this game.… Expand

The only fault I ever had was the lack of online capabilities on the PS2. I have never, in my life, played a hockey game more realistic than this. Best of all, the computer doesnt score cheap goals on you like all other hockey games, and its actually difficult to score goals.
