i bought nfl2k3 today ive played 2 games and played a lil in practice mode,so here are what i think of it as of now

first off,sega did a great job using th eespn license,the menus and in game pop ups look great

The graphics are great IMO,i love the animations,i really like the tackles etc ill get more into that stuff after i play it more

THe overall gameplay is really good,youve gotta use strategy if you wanna win,you just cant pick passing plays over and over or running plays youve gotta mix it up between running plays long and short passing plays and you cant throw it to the same reciever over and over,otherwise youll eventually get burned (ive thrown 5 or 6 interceptions in 2 games and i can see in the replays that all of em were my fault)and the running game is pretty tough,you have to follow your blockers and find a hole,you cant just run around and expect get get yards,and defense is really tough,but im gettin better and am starting to like it

overall so far the game is really challenging,and at times frustrating,the game has about a half and hour learning curve so if you rent or buy it dont expect to be winning games right off

BTW i used the vikings in those games,so that might have made it harder lol

MORE IMPRESSIONS COMING SOON!

sounds cool...

madden is frustating the shit out of me... too much defense on the cpu's part...ive one like one game in like 10... but im getting better...i cant stop the run, the pass or anything... but ill get it... anyway... i think 2k has dope commentating, madden is better this year at commentating, but they just dont keep it going... the only cool thing i heard in madden was when I injured joey galloway in one game... he was set on the injured list as probable... and when the next game arrived, he wasn't playing... so al michaels said "joey galloway who was probable for today game is going to be sitting out... after today's warm-up he still wasn't 100% after trying to recoup from the injury he sustained two weeks ago"
