    NCAA 2003 comes so close to perfection that you really have to wonder if Tiburon can top itself again next year. [Sept 2002, p.114]

    The game has improved leaps and bounds since last years version, which is surprising since it was done wonderfully last year.

    If every game sucked me into its world like this one, I'd drop out of society, move into the Unabomber's cabin, and never turn off my PS2. Seriously, NCAA 2003 is too good. [Sept 2002, p.150]

    Forget about best college games, NCAA Football 2003 is the best football game out there for serious football videogamers... Challenging and satisfying.

    NCAA Football, usually regarded as the redheaded stepchild of the sports world, has finally come into its own this year with refined gameplay and jaw dropping graphics to match.

    This is the best football game ever created. My friends and I are in the military and it's the perfect game for ship. With so much spare This is the best football game ever created. My friends and I are in the military and it's the perfect game for ship. With so much spare time on our hands it's not hard to pass the time with this game. So much detail and lifelike plays, it really impressed us. I know 20 people that have it. The only bad things are that the player's names weren't released and there's no tournament mode, but other than that it's the perfect football game. Best ever!… Expand

    If you want to see a frozen screen, buy this game. If you want to actually play a game, this isn't for you.
