When I went to my friends house and he told me he got Primetime I was very surprised. Already with 3 solid football games (NFL 2k2, Madden 2002, and NFL Fever) on the system Primetime seemed like a waste. Boy was I wrong......

PROS:
-AMAZING!!! Franchise mode, the best in the business
-Great menus and game setup
-Its ESPN and whats better than that??

CONS:
-Gameplay is slighty weaker than Madden, 2k2, and at about par with Fever
-Graphics do not compare with the 3 other f-ball games

-You would think it has cool commentary but the commentary is kinda weak

All in all, Primetime is a great game....as it being your 2nd football game on the XBOX. Fans of the franchise mode will love this game but if you have no football games on your Box right now then i would reccomend either 2k2 or madden.

Alright, this is a game that you may hate, probably won't love, but can develop some serious affection for over time. The first time I played a game...I was ready to destroy the game. Half way through a season...I'm liking quite a bit.

The game play is fast and efficient, almost to the point where you catch yourself rushing through play selection to keep up the pace. It graphics are good overall but, the replays lack any cinematography and the player celebrations are repetitive. And that symbolizes the game: lots of pros and cons.

Cons:

1. Defenders can tackle you from 5 yards away so, you can put away your fancy moves.
2. You can also put away the spin move for defensive linemen. Use a power move or plan on never crossing the line of scrimmage.
3. No high or low kicks or punts. You control the distance and the angle, that's it.
4. I don't notice any subtlety in passing. The distance of the receiver dictates the angle and velocity. No lofting short passes or rifling long ones.

Pros:
1. You haven't had play calling selection until you've seen this. You've got a play book the size of Donald Trump's next pre-nup.
2. Uniforms get dirty. Sounds stupid until you think about playing a full game on a rainy Soldier Field and you still have uniforms as clean as the Pope's little black book.
3. You won't want to rip your speakers apart getting Madden to "shut the hell up!" Subtract Madden, add Boomer and TJ.
4. Kicking format is excellent. Finds a nice medium between pin-point precision with no effort and kicking that requires more groping than a room full of prom dates.

All in all, it gets a three star rating. Two for giving us an alternative to Madden (not that I don't still love Madden) and another star for Primetime 2003. I bet it kicks a wee more ...

Don't waste your time. The other 3 (Madden, 2k2, and Fever) are all MUCH better. This game looks like it was made for the Nintendo game system. It is just plain bad. Even the commentary is not that good. I played part of one game and haven't played it since.

This game is " prime time" if you like football the gameplay is great. When you play it, it's like you are on the field it is one of the best life like football games skip NFL Fever and NFL Blitz 20-02. GET THIS GAME IF YOU WANT THE BEST.

when i first played this i didn't completly like the game but then i tried franchise mode.WOW! that was the greatest 17 games i had ever played.game play is simple and passing is very easy. if your a hardcore football player buy this

...The players look very real and the game is very close to the TV show. I also liked that the commentators say negative things about the penalties. I really recommend this game.

this game is the bestgame i have ever played. i can never get board of it. all of the funny touchdoun dances and bone crunching tackles is just the best. i garuntee if you buy this game you wont regret it

Unlike football games like nfl fever, etc, espn Primetime has realistic crowds for the first time! I have never played a game so detailed. Forget these fans with little spots all over them, it will close to real. Everyone out there, listen to me. GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is going to be great. If you want this game get it but if you don't want it get Nfl fever 2002 because tthey are both easy to play.

This game is not horrible but it could be better. The graphics are terrible
