Madden 2003: Gameplay Upgrades For This Year
The 2003 edition features new animations on both offense and defense, new field textures, hand animations (fingers move!) and other features that will make Madden's hardcore following excited. By now, even the most casual gamer has heard of Madden and knows what to expect from year to year: the most authentic NFL sim possible.

and


New for Madden NFL 2003 is the addition of a new mini-game, appropriately entitled Mini-camp, a completely overhauled audio engine to improve the super stale commentary and online gameplay for the PlayStation 2. There's a lot more new but those three enhancements lead the pack and should appeal to the casual football gamer.


Also

Create A Play
This could be the most comprehensive create-a-play feature in a football videogame ever. Most of the time, we're content with simply picking from an assortment of ins, posts and hook patterns of varying depth for our receivers. In Madden 2003, you have to put the route together the old fashion way

That's  tight... I've always wanted to create my own play, they didn't have that last year...

Custom Formations
What good are all of those custom plays if you're still limited by old school formations. This is an innovation you didn't even know you wanted until now. You can actually reposition your players into a formation of your choosing so that they might be better positioned to run that play you just created above. You can't do anything crazy like three guys on the offensive line or anything and you're still required to adhere to NFL rules for number of players off the line of scrimmage, but the many wonderful possibilities are there.

little different, ill definetly try it out, im not a football genius, so i  dont know about all the cool shit i could do with a formation, but yea, I'd try this out... if it's cool, ill definetly utilize it...

Custom Playbook
If you don't have the patience to build your arsenal from scratch, the custom playbook is the way to go. Think of it as shopping for you offense, or defense for that matter. Simply open up the playbook of any NFL coach, take the ones you want and leave the rest, like a salad bar. You can marvel at your new collection of touchdown scoring beauties and adjust accordingly when you're done

Test Out Your Play
You sure as hell don't want to test your Frankenstein of a play under real game conditions so it's better to run through it with your personnel right then and there. In this clip, that middle bunch formation and nutty play they created is put to the test and you can see the four, count 'em four, straight completions they get out of it.

other goodies

Exporting Your Franchise Team
For the hardcore Madden nuts out there, and we know there are millions of you, you'll be happy to know you can now use your franchise team in an exhibition game against a buddy or against the CPU. That franchise team you've worked so hard to build with veteran free agents, young rookies and valuable role players will now be available outside the franchise mode. If your franchise squad is a source of pride, which it damn well should be, then you'll appreciate the fact that they've been set free to run amok against other human controlled or CPU controlled teams in exhibition mode.

that's gonna be my favorite upgrade, I love franchise mode, now I can export my team and play  them online against some nut who thinks they can beat me... Hah!

and... Al Michaels will replace Pat Summeral, They've adopted a lot of Sega Sports enhancements to tighten up the competitiveness of the two companies... all in all.... IT'S NOT THE SAME GAME....

oh, I forgot one more thing...

The Big Bad Ass:

--- Quote ---Oh and about NBA Live, when more comes out on that, I'll definetly post it up..... but it won't be the worst bsktball game this year...

1. NBA 2k3
2. NBA Live 2003

Dude, I ain't hatin, but how can you say what will, and will not be the best game if it hasn't come out?

Big BpG:
Maybe because the biggest NBA games right now are NBA 2k2, NBA Live and NBA Shootout, and NBA Shootout is created by 989 and they have never had a successful series in their basketball games... only in football... Gameday 98 outsold Madden 98.... so NBA Live will definetly be holding their own....

Sub-Z:
you just proved my point bpg,all theyre doin  makin small changes to the gameplay (and making players fingers move,wow world series baseball 2k2 on dreamcast did that!)add a little mini game,put in create a play which most other football games have had for the past 2 years anyways,custom playbooks...whats big about that? nfl2k2 had that last year,nfl2k1 for dreamcast had online play

seems like ea is just catching up to the others

Big BpG:
Whatever you say "Dunny"

but Madden is the best selling Game because of it's GAMEPLAY, why change what has already been perfected...
