NHL 2k3 is just around the corner and I can't wait.. unfortunately.. I don't know if I will be buying it because I have NHL 2002!! ARG.. lol.. well anyways.. I found some great news.. I already thought this was true but I now know that it is official.. 2K3 will be online!!! WOOOO... If there are any canucks that read this and I know there will be because there are many Canadians in these forums... that my friends is some very good news!! For the first time ever I'll actually get to play a hockey game over the net... I can't freaking wait!!! By the way here is some info on the game in case you're curious.


ESPN Broadcast Presentation -- Replays, scores, music, and more are displayed in the famous ESPN style.

All New Franchise Mode -- Create a team and develop it into a dynasty. Play the roles of general manager, coach, scout, player, and more.

Haha.. thats why its not going to be better... If it did have online play then I would buy that game instead mainly because I've had many EA Hockey games and they have all been good.. But not having online just makes NHL2003 ... not one game that I would like to own.

If the EA game is gonig to be better.. go find some features of the game and prove it.. therefore we can all compare the game.. I myself am still sticking with 2k3 because of Live.

I have NHL 2002..... I thought it was a pretty good game.... I like the realism... The only thing was the announcing....It was funny to an extent...Then it just got annoying...This should be cool having ESPN doing the commentry...I can't wait to c this game..I geuss since some of u are saying 2k3 and some are saying 2003...Im goanna either rent both and c what one i like better, or go by trailers and stuff.....:) For some reason i think 2k3 will be better.....

I have 2002 and while it was a good game it had alot of bugs and glitches, and the fighting was horrible. Though i've never played a 2k hockey game I am hoping they will be good, with good fights, there hasn't been a hockey game with good fights for a while. (not counting hitz, cause its not real hockey)

lol I got the flames!! lol
nah I wont buy the game
if only they added some innovative features to sports games to make them have a lot more replay value then they currently have
I get a new sports game every five years cause thats how often they change it enough to warrant a new purchase

Anyone with half a brain knows that NHL 2k3 will be superior to EA 2003. EA is not realistic. NHL 2k3 is a true simulation.

EA 2002 is just a step away form being NHL HITZ.

I thought NHL 2002 was just plain awful. I had it for the PS2 and the graphics weren't great, fighting sucked, and all those backflip hits that were in NHL 2001 got taken out. I thought the EA series dominated back in the Genesis days, but now it's just not that good. I personally thought NHL Hitz was an awesome game. Plenty of unlockables, best fight system yet, amazing hits, and detailed audiences and graphics. However, I think NHL2k3 will be a serious contender (or maybe even claim the throne) for best 2002 hockey game. BTW, if there is an online league, I call the Rangers! Signing off...

Ahem.. I would beat anyone with any team....... lol.... yea everyone says it but oh well.. as long as I don't have to back it up .. its all good!

By the way who can't wait for the Hockey season to start!!

Belfour with the Leafs!! WOOO!!

Not sure wether thats a good or bad thing, considering Hitz is one of the most fun games I have ever played...but as long as it's hockey and it has create-a-player/team options, i'll have it. :)

Heh.. thats so true.. any hockey game that doesn't have create a player, just shouldn't be bought... that feature is one of the best that they have ever put in sports games... another great one is the fantasy draft!
