NFL 2K3's presentation elements are unmatched by any of the other games in this year's traditional sports category. The graphics have been improved to the extent that you can recognize players in a replay without looking at the name or number on their jersey because of the excellent facial details. In addition, as it always has been in the NFL 2K series, NFL 2K3's commentary is far beyond what the competition is offering with its play-by-play and color-commentary duo constantly interacting with each other and offering interesting insight into the game at hand.

To top it all off, NFL 2K3 has online play via Xbox Live, which supports voice communication and virtually lag-free games, an incredibly important consideration when passing the ball or running to avoid tacklers. NFL 2K3 offers the complete package, and no sports fan should be without it.
