Madden is back and making his second appearence on GameCube. This is a better overall game compared to last year's model. Some people say that this game is hard to play due to the Nintendo GameCube Controller. Let's just say after you figure out all the buttons, it can be an easy transition from PS2.
One new feature is the mini-camp. I just bought the game yesterday and let me tell you this feature is fun. I've been a veteran of the Madden Series since the beginning on SNES. I thought I new how to play the game well. The mini-camp proved me wrong. The first couple difficulty settings are pretty easy, but once you go beyond that good luck.
The only negative thing that comes to mind is the commentary. Being a big fan of NCAA Football, it would be nice to get someone else in the booth with Madden and Michaels. It is refreshing however to see that Summeral is gone. Michaels does a decent job, but you can still tell that some words are previously spoken and strung together, example. SAPP on the tackle. That is his FIFTH tackle today. Nother makes me more mad then that. But I'm not playing the game for the commentary.
One other new feature is this TRAX idea. They made an album for this game and it consists of 11 tracks, ranging from hed(PE), to Bon Jovi. Two words for you readers, GETS OLD. Not only does it get old but when the songs change a menu flashes on the screen and tells you what song you're listening to, often messing your play up, due to concentration.
Overall Good Game, just some minor tweeking.

Ok i love the madden games. the difference between 2001 and 2002 was huge but this year it is almost the same. The modes and features are compleatly the same except in 2003 there is create a playbook witch is azsome for advance players. Also there is a new training camp mode witch isnt as good as it sounds. there are some slight modifications in the controls and stadium detail but thats about it. I was expecting a whole lot more from ea sports on this title. if you dont have 2002 start by buying 2003. if you own 2002 dont get it unless you are a hard core nfl or madden fan. Dont get me wrong its a great game but it still could of been better.

Madden NFL 2003 probably has the best sound and graphics in all the gamecube games. You can make your own team, make their uniform, select their stadium, select how long you want the game to last, and much more.

Also, the teams have realistic stats and many gameplays to choose from. You can also design your own gameplays for all of the positions. Not to mension... you can also play tournements. Their also are 2-minute drills for throwing, reciving, intercepting, tackling, kicking, and much much more. You have to try to defeat as much of the levels as you can. The more you defeat, the more madden cards you get. (You can trade madden cards, sell them, and buy them. To buy them, you must do tasks which include throw a 30 yard pass, intercept a pass, recover a fumble ball. But since these are such easy tasks, you get less points then you would to complete do the folowing tasks. Run 60-80 yard in one play, or when your opponent kicks the ball you run the whole way without being tackled, complete 20 consecutive passes, and much more tougher stuff. Levels range from 1-5, 5 being the most difficult. This is probably the best sport game on gamecube.
