Product Description
Product Description
NHL 2K3 brings you an extremely realistic hockey simulation right down to the players' faces, sizes, moves and abilities. If you're a bruiser, you can muscle your way into the corner and dig out the puck. If you're speedy, you can beat the last guy on a breakaway and put it in the top corner of the net. Make plays with hockey characters that act just like their real-world counterparts.

Sega Sports NHL 2K3 delivers player realism down to size, skill, and behavior, resulting in individuals that exhibit lifelike styles of play. The all-new franchise mode lets you capitalize on player accuracy to develop a team that plays your brand of hockey: you can draft hotshot rookies, trade for players who complement your team, and compensate for injured players. You can also put that precision to work on the ice by anchoring lines with key players and rotating those lines to create the matchups you want. The game also features a new ESPN broadcast system, so scores and highlights are presented in the network's characteristic style.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Here is my laundry list of problems with this game, some that I would consider major and some that I would consider peeves:
1. Graphics
This game looks like N64/PS1 graphics. Games wind up being the dark blobs vs. the light blobs, as far as I can tell.
2. AI
Players skate right past the puck when they're under computer control. The only thing the AI does on defense is collapse everyone in front of the net.
3. Player Differentiation
Every player plays just like every other player. Paul Kariya can hit as hard as Chris Chelios. Adam Foote is as fast as Mike Modano, with turbo, on the breakaway. They all look the same. They all play the same. EA Sports' system of Heroes and Big Hitters sure looks brilliant in comparison.
4. Commentators
This game licenses elements from ESPN--why do we get Mono and Tone for commentators? They're boring and repetitive. How about Gary Thorne and Clement, Clement, hands of cement? Or Dave Strader and Darren Pang? Barry Melrose's machine-gun laugh before a game? John Buccigross saying "He is clutch, and clutch is everything in life?"
Commentary typically sounds like this: "He's going to have to continue to make saves like that if the" (pause) (insert team name here) (pause) "are going to have any chance!"
(The worst error: when I won the Stanley Cup, the commentators said, and I quote, "The Stars are one step closer to the Stanley Cup!")
5. Soundtrack
If you like the same cheesy organ riffs over and over, this soundtrack is for you!
6. Officiating
The puck-carrier can get a penalty for hooking. Yeah, right, Sega! And the goalie can sit on an unplayable puck while 20 seconds run off the game clock before it's called "Puck Frozen." Oh, and then there are the random times that the puck is frozen for no reason...
7. Shooting/Scoring
This is the real killjoy of the game. It's very easy in NHL 2K3 to have 50 or 60 shots and not score a goal. There are only two shots that can score: skate in on the off-wing and deke the goalie to the inside, and take a slapshot from the faceoff circle. One-timers (the staple of EA Sports) rarely score. Redirections don't score. You can't cherry-pick just outside the crease. If a defenseman takes a slapshot from the point, it's almost always blocked, and never beats the goalie.
8. Default Settings
Team strategy settings default to manual for both player and AI teams. That's right, unless you choose to set the computer team to Automatic strategy changes, it uses the same strategy for the ENTIRE game, regardless of score. Also, the default voice mask for online play is Anonymous, which ranks somewhere between "nails on the chalkboard" and "Gilbert Gottfried" on the annoyance scale.
The only advantages that this game has over NHL 2003 is that it is XBox Live enabled, has the concept of a minor-league system, and has some nice along-the-boards gameplay.
It's a real shame that this game is as poor as it is. NHL 2K3's "controllability" of what you can do during the game is top-notch. It smartly uses the triggers as modifiers for other buttons to let you have real control over what the players do. The gameplay options are extremely customizable (but they left out the setting for "Fun").
All in all, rarely have I played a game that delivers less fun than NHL 2K3.
