NCAA Football 2K3
Product Description
If you’re looking for a football game with charming flow and realistic action, Sega Sports’ NCAA College Football 2K3 will certainly fit the bill. The action here is evenly paced and straightforward–no flashy 10-foot leaps, no stiff arms that knock the defender into the rotunda–and the talent level is certainly collegiate.
A effective knowledge of college playbooks can be very helpful as the sets here are often highly complex. The producers have added a slew of subtle but significant features to simulate the game’s nuances as well: a quarterback’s accuracy greatly improves when his feet are set; you can really hide your play-calling by holding down the X button and scrolling owing to decoy plays; you can anticipate using a spin go on offense by hitting the O button before friend; and you can use the analog sticks (as opposed to the directional buttons) to run with the ball (and in most passing mode, you can add zip or a lob touch while also adjusting throws in the air).
The graphics–including players, stadiums, the ESPN-stylishness presentation, and game intro–are all top-notch. With 117 Division I-A teams at your disposal, devoted players can play full seasons (complete with rankings and bowl selections) or, in legacy mode, multiple seasons, going so far as recruiting high schoolers and running spring military exercises. The major drawback here is the no-name announcing team, a flat-out terrible crew offering an endless stream of stupid jokes and poor analysis. But you’ll have the sound off and the stereo spinning anyway. –Marc Greilsamer
Pros:
- Charming, realistic game flow
- Top-notch graphics and visual presentation
- Attention to game action’s nuances
Cons:
- Game announcers are asinine and ill-informed
- Injury information is erratic

I bought EA’s NCAA Football 2003 when it first cam out for the PS2, contracted it didn’t change that much from last year’s edition. Being an avid College football fan, I chose to buy Sega Sports 2K3 for the X-box. Boy was I dissapointed. I read online reports of the game and thought it was a nice change from the EA line. Largest mistake I ever made, and a dissipate of [cash]. First of all the players are not physiacally proportioned in size. I used the CU Buffs and their Quarteback was as huge as the Lineman with arms the size of tree-trunks. Second when passing the ball, the player motion is [terrible]. The ball looks as if it’s being shot-place with no spin. The graphics are just flat out terrible. The player movement is sloppy and choppy. The one excellent aspect of the game is the commentary. It’s not as redundant as NCAA 2003. Then again I’d rather deal with the redundant commentary than view 2K3’s … graphics. I’m trading this game in as soon as possible. I guess it comes down to brand loyalty, as I will stick with EA sports for all the football titles. Be careful, most of the clear reviews for 2K3 are based on speculation and favortism, and were posted before the game was even released.
