Just a few throws downfield are all that you need to be convinced that Madden NFL 2003 is better than its predecessor. Unlike last year’s game–which is best remembered for holes in the secondary that permitted the likes of Ryan Leaf to pass for more than 400 yards on any given virtual Sunday–the new game is smart defensively. Call nothing but deep routes here and your quarterback will be rewarded with lots of turnovers and a mouthful of sod. Driving the length of the field is now as tough as it should be, and as satisfying as computer sports gaming gets.

John Madden's name spoken. Create a new team and name the new coach 'John Madden'. Melissa will be able to say his name during the game. City name spoken. When creating a custom team, use a city where an NFL team plays as your custom team's home city. The refs and the PA announcer will say your team's city. Hard to say really. PS2 has been discontinue, Xbox 360 is still living and I just think comparing the 2 isn't the best way. If this was all about the original Xbox vs PS2, then we be really talking.
