Amazon.com Review

If you're looking for a football game with smooth 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 definitely collegiate.

A working 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 totally hide your play-calling by holding down the X button and scrolling through decoy plays; you can anticipate using a spin move on offense by hitting the O button before contact; and you can use the analog sticks (as opposed to the directional buttons) to run with the ball (and in maximum passing mode, you can add zip or a lob touch while also adjusting throws in the air).

The graphics--including players, stadiums, the ESPN-style 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 drills. 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:

• Smooth, realistic game flow
• Top-notch graphics and visual presentation
• Attention to game action's nuances

Cons:

• Game announcers are silly and ill-informed
• Injury information is erratic

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the older editions, January 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: NCAA Football 2K3 (Video Game)

Graphics are good and the animation is smooth. However, not much else is positive for this game. I'm not a big fan of the playcalling menus. Too hard to tell what's going on from the play illustration, especially on the defensive side. I also don't like how you can't pan out to see the receivers when you are controlling an LB or DB on defense like you could in the old Dreamcast versions. This makes it virtually impossible to play a corner and difficult to play an OLB in coverage. Also annoying is the vertical leraning curve between walk-on and starter difficulty. It is easy to win 80-0 in walk-on, and then play the same team in starter and lose 20-7. From what I can tell, all raising the difficulty does is make your receivers drop every pass coming their way if there is a defender within 5 yds, while not affecting the computer at all. This game is a real disappointment, as I love the older Dreamcast editions.

This was a great game that I got for Christmas this year. I really like the start up menu. It's a nice change from the madden series. The graphics were definetly better than expected, considering it's from '02. They were practically the same as Madden NFL 09, which I bought about a year ago. The gameplay is great, but I really would have loved it if there was a hitstick. The create-a-modes function excellently, except for the uniforms on Create-a-school. All in all, a great game.
