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]

GameSpy
It's a solid game, but with EA's "NCAA Football 2003" in stores there's no need to pick it up.

NCAA 2K3 still doesn't quite reach the level of quality found in EA Sports' "NCAA Football 2003," which offers more in-depth features and is an overall better representation of the college football experience.

It's realism in terms of actual gameplay that NCAA 2K3 lacks. [Fall 2002, p.117]
IGN
While the finished product isn't a terrible game by any means, the high standard that was set by the office favorite and EA Sports creation, "NCAA Football 2003" just can't be matched.

Improved, but still trails EA's "NCAA 2003" in every conceivable department. [Sept 2002, p.52]
GamerWeb Xbox
A half assed attempt at a college football game that is only playable because it has so much of "NFL 2K3" enrooted in its core.

You'll see a lot of poor passes (regardless of your quarterback choice), poor tackling (even for a computer-controlled player), hot and cold A.I. and many, many wide open receivers dropping balls. This is probably the most frustrating aspect of NCAA 2k3.

This game is great. But, Ncaa Football 2003 is even better. The gameplay, sounds, and the graphics.
Tim M. gave it a 8:
Not as good as ncaa 2003 but still a good game.
Rob F. gave it a 4:
Sorry, compared to EA's NCAA football, Sega has alot of work to do.
