It's on the edge to be a perfect game,But it just didn't fall off. |
| undiputed from Miami, Dade County says (4/Feb/2003): |
The problem you first have to look at is some of these corners just don't play like they do in real games. Some of those corners aren't that physical every corner in the league don't jam like the dolphin's corners every player should play like they play in the league.

Close but no cigguar |
| Man from Miami, Dade says (4/Feb/2003): |
When you create your plays on madden it won't allow you to flip the play or audible without everyone run all over the Field.You shoul be able to edit your schemes to the fullest everlittle detail because on offense you can detail your offensive lin blocking you can even create a bootleg or playaction.Your Defense of Formation you should be able to audible,jam,flip your play,and we need be more percide on postiong players and schemes. They need to widen the variety of zones and and be more specific on man coverage and who they suppose to cover and why you cann't spy the runninback you can spy the QB and plan please stop don't have the corners confusing zone and man coverage and Kurt Warner is just Ridiculous with all thi side arm stuff let's be real he don't throw like that 90% of the time and there defense is just over rated The safey alone are to good give the patriots more credit than them and these receivers with one hand catch lets get real two hands or no hands baby!!.But they to get more real each player game play.Pleasae take action, Respond

Best Yet!! |
| Chris Carey from Tyner,Ky says (6/Feb/2003): |
This is still the best football game going. It just keeps getting better each year. There are a couple of things that could have made this game a 10. One is the pass coverage, if you try for the interception and fail it's seven points the other way. Which brings me to my next point, if the computer gets a step ahead of you ,forget trying to catch up for the tackle. The computer always seems to find more speed than you. Other than that, what else can you say, "it's Madden NFL!".

Maddens the best no questions |
| Kieth from USA says (8/Feb/2003): |
Without Madden football games would suck. This game is great and gives you alot of options. Its fun to tryout all the modes and to bring your team through the franchise mode(wich I think is the best feature ever on Madden) Madden will forever lay the path for football games.Maddens the best damn football game ever.

Is it the best madden game yet? You decide! |
| Andrew Wilson from Lafayette, Indiana ,USA says (9/Feb/2003): |
The game rocks. At least i thought so until i looked at all the little flaws it had. No latteral, bad music, a clock that continues to run after running out of bounds, plus more. I mean cant you at least have the oppurtunity to change the settings. Also why when you create a player that should never get injured he gets injured almost every game? The game is like all the rest when it comes to john madden talking. Am i the only one who gets tired off hearing his voice. Im a serious game player and i get mad when things dont go my way. So when i throw a pass that doesnt get completed i dont need to hear mr john say "this quarterback thinks he can complete passes that he cant" thanks john im glad your around to help me see exactly what i just did.

Madden NFL 2003 is da bomb........but there are flaws |
| Isaac from Japan says (13/Feb/2003): |
Well, well well. What to say about Madden NFL 2003. I have played it for PS2 and XBox and the XBox version of it graphically is outstanding!!!!!!! The gameplay is challenging as with all of the madden games. The create a player mode is pretty good as well, but there has to me more of a lifelikeness to the players. We don't see all QB's sidearm the ball (warner and gannon) and the cornerback play is shoddy at times, the cheerleader uniforms are all the same and they should match with the uniforms of the NFL cheerleaders. The crowd needs to be more lifelike as well during games. I am gonna email EA sports and tell them my concerns of the madden series. Overall, I give it an 8 out of 10. Good game to buy.

Come on people its just fine!!! |
| Ken from ATL,GA,USA says (15/Feb/2003): |
If you dont like the game because of a few little missed options by EA, then YOU make a BETTER Madden game. Sure the computer is faster than you, but if you dont let them catch the ball then they cant run, so just get better. I love the All-Madden difficulty, it makes it a little harder to Stomp the computer. I also only listen to rap, and the misic matches the game fine. I just dont understand why people bad mouth games they could make any better themselves.

The game stinks |
| SuperFreak 84 from Minneapolis, Minnesota says (25/Feb/2003): |
They should have released this game last year and released 2002 this year. On 2002 there was defense soon as you snap the ball if you don't get rid of it your sacked on 2003 you have all the time in the world. which isn't realistic. On 2002 the defensive backs play defense on 2003 the db's are confused even the best rated dbs cant cover a turtle. What happened to the pass heavy playbook? What they should have did was leave the game exactly the way it was in 2002. But use the player faces from 2003. use the gang tackles use the db option where they can either jam or play off the wr. And the biggest question of all where the hect is Cris Carter the best hands the nfl has ever seen. The guy deserves to be on the game he is only second to jerry rice in the hall of fames at least put him in the free agency or give us a chance to unlock him in madden card mode. I hope 2004 is exactly what i asked for. If not they should've stopped making madden games and just stop at 2002 but made it convenient for us to download the latest rosters and player photos on the internet. Till then Madden 2002 is still the best ever.

The game kicks |
| Nick from Port Richey, Florida,USA says (9/Mar/2003): |
This game was the best out of all of them. The defensive play is the best ever with gang takling. The offensive gameplay is still pretty much the same except for the fact that the computer is faster than you. The only thing that I hate about this game is that if you hurt the computers QB, the backout comes into the game and kills you, and another thing that EA might want to improve on is not making it so easy for the computer to pass for 500 yards on you when they can't run against you.

everything is right on except a couple little things |
| dan s from philadelphia,pa usa says (25/Mar/2003): |
lets see, the game play is awesome, play selection is greatgraphics are spectacular except the crowd but nothing is perfect juke and spin moves are pretty good but come on its almost impossible to tackle someone when ur one on one with them, u have to guess which way they will juke, also i hate it when im scrolling through menus and the name and artist of the song that is playing pops up right on top of where ur scrolling, put that where ur not looking, and the hurry up offense is a little lame because the players get set as if they are normally running an offense, it wastes time, but all in all ea out did itself again and i cant wait until 2004 keep it up!

Making it Happen |
| Bryant from Madison, WI says (28/Mar/2003): |
Bottom line this game is self explanatory- The graphics are concise however so realistic and the commentary's dont repeat itself too much- The players profiles are also realistic and their skill level is accurate- I really dont know what game players all over would do without had no Madden games ever existed? This is by far the greatest football game that was ever realease, unuminous decision. One love Madden in company...

best football game of all time |
| jp lilliston from philadelphia, us says (6/Apr/2003): |
best football game ever created, gameplay is realistic, from blitzing linebackers to the fullback breaking tackles up the middle, right down to the endzone dancing. as far as improvements, would like to see all time record holders even after players retires. downside is historic players, once added to roster should start off as rookies not 30 yrs old, where is joe montana? also having the ability to bring back, somehow players that retired, aside from creating that player.
all in all this game is awesome. a must for big game players.

No Momentum |
| C.2. Lenton (LSU Tiger) says (8/Apr/2003): |
Just because a one player makes a good play, the opponent should not have to battle the other player plus the computer. In other words chill out on all the momentum crap the next time. Think about it. If my players start dropping 80% of their passes and fumbling the ball, QB starts getting all these high snaps ,ETC. after the other team makes a big play whats the use of even continuing the game. Let the game be played evenly all the way to the end. So that no one player has that much of an advantage over another. THE GAME WILL BE A LOT MORE REALISTIC AND FUN!!!!

What's with the international teams??? |
| Spcl. "K" from Kansas City, USA says (21/Apr/2003): |
Overall M'03 is the best football game I've played to date. I do have to say that I don't get the international teams. The uniforms suck, you can't change them, "Play Now", is the only way to use them and they have the fresh stadium designs! NFL team logos and uniform designs are not available in create a team mode. The uniforms and logos that are in create a team, look like somthing out of a coloring book. I thought that you would at least be able to select the colors in the logo and have the team name in the endzone, I.E. NCAA! This is the only thing I could find wrong with this game. For me that is quite the challenge. Tweek it up a little and I'll give it a (10).

As close to perfect...but not perfect. |
| Johnny Lightsout from Long Island, NY says (21/Apr/2003): |
A few things wrong with this game: (1)Computer Assistance in head to head makes every game close, which is cool, but there is little or no reward for good defense, as the guy who is losing can usually just start chucking downfield into triple-covereage and get a TD. (2) When a player is undercut (tackled from below) and he falls forward, the ball is spotted where he was hit, instead of where he lands, even though his knee didn't hit the ground. Challenging the play does nothing. (3) The quarterback can bail himself out by tapping any receiver button before he gets hit, and even if the ball goes 2 feet or hits a lineman (which is intentional grounding, Mr. Madden) it is ruled incomplete. Unfair advantage to the offense.
All that still adds up to the best football simulation ever, but that won't stop me from trying to help EA make it even better.

few more changes and would be the best game ever |
| ryan from Owensboro, USA says (21/Apr/2003): |
Graphics are very good.Playing defense is hard though. The second easiest level on the game seems too difficult. The computer catches passes too easy and breaks almost every tackle. Where is the SEASON MODE?????I don't care for the franchise mode because it seems like half the league retires and all of the fake players that u have to draft.You should also be able to play a game even if u only have one quarterback or short any other postition, they do in real life.Should also be allowed to change a players position just the same.The best football game would be even better if all that was changed.

Whats Really Good is Madden 2003 |
| Kid Fabolous from Rocky Mount NC says (26/Apr/2003): |
Aiight Madden 2k3 is flame(hot) but by now you know that. The real reason im leaving a review is for some insight or comments to help make an even better title next year. What could be better challege fumbles chall is straight more worried about spot of the ball and catching out of bounds. More catches going out of bounds not many tip toe catches going out of bounds. More powerful tackles I mean there are thousands of ways to hit some one experiment. More injuries depth like people being carried off the field. Maybe look into a more in depth create a player and team choices. By that no player should be 99 everything make them work for great player capablities like getting a point system for doing well in games with created players. Have better Super Bowl experiences when you get top the Super Bowl you want it all entrances commentrary every thing trophies for the season being presented. Of course your gonna have to step up the gamming next year so im looking forward to see new catches, int,etc. have the draft be the draft crowd draft board and players taking that walk on draft day the totally NFL experience baby.

best football game ever, but could have more options |
| john from Reading, Pa.U.S.A says (8/May/2003): |
Madden 2003 is the best foot ball game ever made, but if a 2004 version is to be released why not have a mode where you can time warp teams from the differnt periods in nfl history like the 1930's on up to the present ex( 1932 boston braves, chicago cardinals etc) with classic players, nfl europe teams and decideing how many games who you play eveyweek with the stats being saved after every season to show carrer stats even if a player is traded, also wether effects could be better and feild conditions inproved to show wear and tear during a game

best madden ever but needs improvements |
| ultramegamer6419 from Elkins, West virginia USA says (11/May/2003): |
hey if anyone from ea happens to read this review, on madden04, please bring back the change position thing in rosters. on 01 and 02 i loved putting kordell stewert as a wr and hines ward as a qb. plus, some people in the nfl play two positions and if you are a little tight in a certain position in franchise mode, you could change, for example, eric metcalf from hb to wr. you also need to change rookie progression, i mean if u don't play them at all in their first season, they lose like 5 attribute points. i think player progression should change during the season too. oh, and in franchise mode, you should be able to go into coach options and look at your players comments. for example, you could go in and, for example again, bubba franks demands a trade. and you should make a training camp where u can introduce your rookies to your system. i think that would be cool. and what would be really cool, if like you create a team, and instead of giving it a set roster, there should be a draft sort of thing, ya know like in real life. an expansion drft!thats what its called!oh yeah!when you create a player, you should be able to go into a sort of dictionary thing and like be able to make the announcers say like! wow al! chris fuamata-ma'afala is runnin all over ziggy franklesnorf, not wow al!number 45 is runnin all over number 26. ya know somethin like that...please add my ideas, it would make for a even better madden!
