I have been a fan of the gameday series ever since I got my first PS1 and Gameday 99. Now, with Gameday 2003, the content of the game is remarkable. There is no doubt in my mind that it is a very fun and exciting game. However, even little details are noticeable and may take away from the game if you're a big buff football fan/player (like me!). Though it is true the CPU AI is at its best, there are still a few little things that make it kinda dull:
- CPU does not down the ball on a kickoff when the ball is kicked deep into its endzone.
- The fair catch feature sucks.
- The reaction time i think is slower than some previous gameday games.
- Like every gameday game, there is still a pass-happy cpu, which makes it difficult to get a high ranking on pass defense, but an incredible first place rank against the run.
- Worst of all, I think (like in madden) there should've been a challenged feature. I mean I replay my plays and see calls that should not have been made and there's nothing i can do about it.
- I have gone a whole season and more than a half, and still have not had any injuries nor penalties (and they are on high), which i'll take but it takes away from the realism of the game. The only penalties I've had were pass interference, and offsides. and once in every like million (exaggerating) they'll be a personal foul call. As for the injuries, the only time they happen is when you work your OFFENSIVE player WHO HAS THE BALL to hard. I have had no defensive injuries except when i recover the ball and run and then once in a while a hamstring pull will come up.

Despite this, the game is good. I think for next year though, they should incorporate more realism into the game.

This game is a pretty good football game for the Ps2 overall, but needs improvement in some areas. The grafics could of been a lot better, especially on Ps2, but that is the biggest downfall. It has plenty of options, besides not having a franchise mode. You can choose from all the stadiums to play in, as well as all the old ones too. The playbook looks better than Madden 2003's, and you have good control in this game. I would reccomend this game for the lower price, but if you want great grafics go for Nfl 2k3.

Let me first start by saying this, if you have not played Gameday this year, you have not played it at all. This game has taken the biggest steps forward in improving its overall presentation and gameplay model. Madden and NFL2k3 are mostly a re hash of old product, Gameday however is very fresh.

I am tired of seeing reviews online that are obviousy pointing out the huge disapointment that Gameday 2001 was. Folks, Gameday is back where it should be in 2003. Just demo it and see, there is far more to see. Many more realistic takle animations, and a very real sounding three man commentary round off this package. The CPU AI is very adjustable, from novice, to All Pro types, so any level you are at is fine, just adjust to taste. Anyone looking for the best PS2 football should pass over Madden for sure, NFL 2K3 is ok, but Gameday is once again king of the football hill!!!

better than gameday 2002,which was a sorry effort,NFL gameday 2003 allows you to catch tip passes,which is cool,one time i caught a pass when i was lying on the ground after the defender tip the ball,the defense is much better,thank you 989,cuz last year's defense was the worst i had ever seen,the graphics are smooth,meaning really good,theres 3 commentarys,play 20 season in GM,Play Online! you can break tackles which looks really good on this game,unlike the famous 1 hit your down deal, theres tons of new tackles,almost a different tackle everytime!theres training camp where you can learn how to run with the ball,throw,kick,punt and dodge defenders, if you love gameday,but hated last's years version,give this a try, but,if you love madden or NFL Fever,Gameday will NOT match those games,but a better effort this year,atlease rent it,i hope this review is some help.

I would greatly suggest this game to anyone I know. Definetly one of the best Football Games in the world, and I've played them all. You probably are wondering by now 'why the 3 stars then?' This is because, since I have played nearly all football games, I have seen this games master. I'm talking about nothing else, but NFL Madden 2003. Sure, the intro for Gameday is hella tight, and almost makes buying the game worth it. But, when compared to the almightly Madden, this game is nothing. This game is simpler, yet with much fewer choices. If you have this game, Warning: DON'T PLAY MADDEN OR YOU'LL NEVER HAVE FUN WITH GAMEDAY AGAIN! BE HAPPY WITH YOUR GAME AND LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!

I do not play alot of football games, but this one is best of all. Good graphics, online capability, nice play setup, and, best of all, you can tackle the refs. I gave it 4 because it could have been better, but then again so could most games.

I have just turned in my dreamcast for the PS2 and am also an owner of the PS1. I was excited when I first heard of this and have always been a fan of the Gameday series. However, I was very disappointed in this game compared to Gameday versions on the PS1 and the NFL2k series for the dreamcast. The play was sloppy and the graffics have taken a turn for the worst. Choosing plays make it more difficult because you can only tell what a play is if you have it in the middle of the screen. The anouncers are a plus as well as the opening of the game. Other than that, it just doesn't live up to the hype and the PS1 versions are better.

This game is a definate improvement from Gameday 2001 (the last version i have played) but there are still flaws. First of all, the controls take some getting used to (at least for me, i'm more of a madden fan). Second, the running game is non existent. Picking a play is extremely difficult, especially if you do not want a play in the shotgun. When you are passing, the best way to gain yards whaen the recievers are covered is to make your QB run, the computer will not stop you at all. The graphics are extremely better than 2001, it finally looks like a ps2 game, but the players are too skinny and they never show their faces. and this year they also took time to put everyone's name in the game, which they didn't do in 2001. That is all i have to say for now.

I think gameday will catch up to the other football titles hopefully sooner then later but if they don't I don't care gameday always has something new to make you buy it next year gameday rules
