Nhl 2k3

[ARONO129]

I am planning to buy this game this weekend. Does anyone here have it? Is it good or lousy? And why?

[Dragoro]

NHL 2k3 is awesome,best hockey game ive ever played. It is a sim however. Its almost always low scoring games. The goalies actually perform as goalies, the checkers check, the finesse finisse. Unlike in the EA games, your team mates just dont stand around when you arent controlling them. It takes a little getting used to on the camera view, but once your used to it, youll find out its much better then EAs camera. Theres 5 different views you can choose from, and 5 different levels of zoom too.

I bought it and didn't like it at all. I was very dissapointed. The overall view is crumy, and the graphics are subpar. The players are also so small it looks like they are midgets.

[Dragoro]

that is what zoom is for. and the 5 different camera angles

[Pipetender]

That really didn't help. I also thought the game was too slow. The shots also looked very fake. I am still loving NHL2003.

2003? god now that was a horrible hockey game. Bullet time? rofl

Having played both games I must say that both have good points and bad points. Here is a few things i must say about those great games:

NHL 2003:
- A little easier to learn
- graphics are a little better
- less realistic ( sometimes i win 14-3 against computer!)
- AI are less élaborate

NHL 2K3:
- A lot of controls for the setup of the game (camera, type of defense, etc.)
- very realistic (as much as a game can be!)
- controls take more time to master (ex: the one-timer)

It was my personnal opinion and hope that it can help...

I played NHL 2003 on a GC and I bought NHL 2K3 for my Xbox.

The graphics in EA's version are better even on the GC. But in Sega's version the AI, puck and player physics is bang on. Not like in NHL 2003 where the players just circle around the puck.

EA=Looks better & plays worse

Sega=Looks worse & plays better.

I say that Sega's version is a better game and best of all no Don Taylor!!!

BTW Sega has to fix those camera angles to make them closer.

Was that a joke? A little better? C'mon! They are way better. The fans in 2K3 look like my little brother drew them. Also, 2K3's players have no realistic faces and the goalies are a joke. I love it how they hold their stick so low. What was Sega thinking?

I have NHL 2K3 and it is a much better game then NHL 2003 IMO. However, it is not a prefect game and will not please everyone. If you've played the EA series for awhile, you may not like 2K3 since it is more of a simulator.

I hate EA's 2003, it is just bad. 2K3 doesn't have the flashy graphics and so on, but the gameplay is much better. Goalies in 2K3 are rather hard to beat.

[Pipetender]

No game is a true "sim". If you say that you know nothing about hockey. EA has too many super dekes, and in 2k3 you have to body check everyone to get them off the puck, the goalies are impossible, and the players are slow as hell.

K.. First off.. NHL 2K3 is the best hockey game I have ever played on ANY system! For all those dumba@S people that say "it is too slow" or "the camera angle sucks", you can change all those options in the options menu (who would of thought)!! If you are a true hockey fan, then you will definitely want this game!! If you are a true cartoon fan , then you might want to check out the bs hockey game called NHL2003. Nuff said!







Bullet time!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA BRUTAL!!

[studepaber]

NHL 2K3 is the best hockey game period, NHL 2003 has nothing on 2K3 but slightly better graphics.

Hey buddy, try the POKE CHECK button. God, how hard is it?

And the goalies are impossible? That is to reflect the usually low-scoring tendencies of a REAL hockey game.

And the players only seem slow as hell because you are used to playing the arcade-style NHL 2003. Plus, in 2k3 if you want to speed it up you can do so in the options menu. Seriously, what a surprise eh?

i picked up 2k3 today myself, and if you want my opinion on it, then i'd say go ahead and pick it up.

i've played it for a while on the ps2 at a friends house, and i thought it was just wicked, so i grabbed it for xbox.

i guess the graphics aren't fantastic, but if you want a good hockey game, i honestly don't think you'll be dissapointed.

the easiest way to tell is, of course to rent it, and give it go yourself, but personally i think it's pretty damn good.
