If every game sucked me into its world like this one, I'd drop out of society, move into the Unabomber's cabin, and never turn off my PS2. Seriously, NCAA 3003 too good. Overall, 2003 plays more like Madden NFL 2002 (that's a fine thing). For example, stick magicians who made their livings dodging tackles by stopping and starting like jackrabbits won't have as much success this year. The players feel heavier and don't unrealistically turn on a dime all of the time. The excess super-human agility has been replaced with pure, ram-it-up-the-gut power--the running game is juiced with ample tackle-breaking and hard-to-drag-down tailbacks. The air attack isn't as automatic as it used to be, either. Quarterbacks need to show patience and wait for the open man. Couple those things with the deeper playbooks, and you get a game that's more realistic and even more addictive than last year's. You can find faults in the A.I., though: You're up by 14 points in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. The computer team has the ball with all its time-outs and a decent field position. But instead of the obvious two-minute drill, it inexplicably runs up the middle, throws lateral passes for negative yardage, or worse yet, drains the clock with no attempt to score. It doesn't happen every time, but enough to make you scratch your head. Happily, it's only a small knock on an otherwise great game.
Ncaa Football 2003
Thanks to coworkers who had the sense to follow their heads and not their hearts when picking teams, a soft spot for my Wildcats became a 0-4 sore spot in no time. I'm a pretty casual sports gamer, and if I had the background of a Dean Hager, NU may have been more competent. But against the Michigans and Nebraskas, a Christmas miracle couldn't have prevented the slaughter--that irked me. Match the teams up right, though, and NCAA is the most exciting football title on consoles. A little momentum can upset the most hopeless of second-half deficits, and huge playbooks had me experimenting with tons of funky plays 'til all four bitter ends.
NCAA 2003 would rarely leave my PS2 tray if it had online. Even without that feature, this one's a beast. The gameplay is tuned to a near-pefect edge, even besting big brother Madden in a couple of key areas. I prefer the touch required in NCAA's passing game, and also find the running game to be a bit more dynamic (thanks to the option). With over 100 teams and the improved recruiting of Dynasty Mode (think RPG for sports gamers), NCAA won't grow stale for months. That works out fine for me because beating oi' Dean never gets old (hah). Football video-game fans have never had it so good, and NCAA 2003 is a big reason why.
