    This game is simply awesome. The new controls and A.I. takes some time getting used to, but once you play it a few times, it's impossible to stop playing. The pinnacle of soccer gaming, that makes Konami's effort look like complete garbage. Only junkies and retards enjoy Pro Evo.

    This is a very good game. Good technical players and a new way to play. The graphics are fantastic.

    Lets be honest. The only football games are worthy playing are all ISS Pro/ Pro evolution series by Konami. They are just UNBELIEVABLE. This game not only cant be compared with PES & PES2 but can't even be as enjoyable as ISS Pro '98!!! So, gameplay is crap. But I didn't liked also the graphics, were at least frustrating. The only think is worthy on this game is music and Lets be honest. The only football games are worthy playing are all ISS Pro/ Pro evolution series by Konami. They are just UNBELIEVABLE.

    This title will suit anyone weather your into football or not, it's the most authentic,up-to-date footie sim out there, it includes all the teams of the world cup in korea/japan 2002,as well numerous other tournaments too,including the champions league.There are things that still need to be improved though-it needs more content,but this can all happen hopefully in FIFA 2004.The good This title will suit anyone weather your into football or not, it's the most authentic,up-to-date footie sim out there, it includes all the teams of the world cup in korea/japan 2002,as well numerous other tournaments too,including the champions league.There are things that still need to be improved though-it needs more content,but this can all happen hopefully in FIFA 2004.The good thing is all FIFA games are different from one another,this one certainly is the best so far.… Expand

    So realistic it feels like playing in the Premier League. I can't stand not seeing the kits and stadiums form the real world of football. Thankgod EA decided to update the gameplay for 2003. Now we have the game that plays like it looks!

    Best soccer game ever. Best soccer graphics ever. Its a shame that the passing isn't good, it really pisses me off how you contiuly pass to the other team, when there is a free man right next to you. I the passing was better this game would be unstoppable.

    this game hasn't improved in the last 5 years. if you like football and ballistic graphics you'd better buy world tour soccer or pro evolution. fifa is awkward.

    This is a nice pretty game that will appeal to players who, well, are not very good at games or are below 10 years of age. It is too arcadey. PES2 is the game to get for true gamers and footy enthusiasts alike.

    I really liked Fifa 2003. It lets you play faster, it a little bit difficult to score but is nice. The only think I did not like is that in Corner Kicks and Free Kicks you can not move the receptor.

    EA should not have changed the free kick/goalie kick and throw ins set up as it is annoying you can no long put ball spin on or select a certain player. different from previous incarnations in the sense it is more 'realistic' making it more difficult. once accustomed to gameplay 2003 rises above previous games. freestyle control is pathetic, and should not have been rushed. whyEA should not have changed the free kick/goalie kick and throw ins set up as it is annoying you can no long put ball spin on or select a certain player. different from previous incarnations in the sense it is more 'realistic' making it more difficult. once accustomed to gameplay 2003 rises above previous games. freestyle control is pathetic, and should not have been rushed. why did they not just leave the moves as the shoulder buttons? strange.. otherwise def game..… Expand

    This game is the sh.t. I've played PES2 and I don't find it so superior to FIFA. I can see why some like another more but i bought FIFA cause it provides much more challenge and entertainment.

    I just sold my old school genesis, but played the FIFA 1994 release Man! Have they come a long way (I felt like I was playing pong in the 1994 version. I have played all the others including EVO. There is no comparison to FIFA 2003! 70% of the game has been revamped which means they only have 30% more to go through before next Xmas.

    You're all on crack. This game is the sh.t. This sh.t is the sh.t. You guys must not play soccer in real life because if you did then you would know that this game is the best one out.

    The most realistic and technically advanced soccer game to date. It's almost too real. [Dec 2002, p.91]

    The controls have been totally overhauled, and you now have an unprecedented level of influence over the ball. [Dec 2002, p.160]

    The AI is a glaring problem in an otherwise great game.
