Madden NFL 2003
SCORE: 86
A new game store moved in near Family Friendly Gaming. This game
store carries retro video games for really good prices. At least the
games purchased by Family Friendly Gaming were really good prices. What
is the name of this game store? Game X Change. Family Friendly Gaming
was able to easily purchase older sports games that are being used in
videos and of course reviews.
I am not sure if I ever played Madden NFL 2003 before or not. I am
loving this football video game on the Gamecube. There is one major
problem with Madden NFL 2003 - saving. Madden NFL 2003 wants all of
these save slots to have all of these different saves. I just want to
save a season. It should not be that complex. One season save should not
take up an entire memory card. Plus it is even worse. Madden NFL 2003
only looks at the first slot. So a super large memory card is needed in
the first slot to save a season.
Madden NFL 2003 looks good, and it plays pretty good too. When playing
the computer make sure you visit the options to set the difficulty.
Madden NFL 2003 starts out pretty tough. I also found the easy mode in
Madden NFL 2003 makes passing a whole lot easier. How so? The players
letter highlights when they are open for a pass. I had way less
interceptions thanks to that easy mode.
The music in Madden NFL 2003 is obnoxious. I could not find a way to
turn off the EA Trax one song at a time. I did find a way to completely
mute the music in Madden NFL 2003. Lame solution but it did save me from
headaches from offensive lyrics and ugly songs. The announcers do a
fantastic job in Madden NFL 2003. It is nice to hear Madden again in a
Madden video game.
The crunching sounds in Madden NFL 2003 are pretty authentic. There are
cheerleaders that dance around at half time. Tons of players and modes
are included in Madden NFL 2003. Players have a lengthy list of moves to
perform in Madden NFL 2003. Players can even set up their own audibles
for the situation. Mini-camp, Madden Cards, and Create A Playbook are
cool features in Madden NFL 2003.
I really enjoyed my time playing Madden NFL 2003. It is a solid football
game with a few issues. Gamecube discs are generally kept in better
condition than Xbox or Playstation 2 discs. The problem with the
Gamecube is the memory issue. I wish Madden NFL 2003 used less memory.
Why does it need all of that memory? Can't EA Sports make a more memory
efficient video game? It was awesome playing off of disc again.
