"The graphics for the game look out standing, but the gameplay is somewhat lacking. Even to the point of unrealistic at points. The weather situations looked good especially in the snow, you can actually see the footprints they leave in real time."
Overall: This game is a HUGE disappointment, I was expecting greatness, and was given crap. I returned it for NFL 2k3, this game was GRR frustrating Gameplay: The gameplay is the same as last years. WTF!?!?! NFL fever needed improvements, not the same CRAP!!! Graphics: Ok ok This looks great, the towels on the players was a NICE effect, I like the cameras, and the stadiums look top notch, there is still that odd fever feel, That "My top half is too big for my legs" look Sound: Pretty Nasty, this was just ugly, I dont like kevin Callabero Hes annoying, He is one of the reasons I plan on buying NBA 2k3 instead of INSIDE drive 2003 Suggestions: BAH WHAT WERE U THINKING!?!?! I think you needed to fix the glithces, the gameplay, and overall look, You just got a good opening showing, DONT let it happen again...
Overall: The only reason I got this game is because the Broncos didn't make it to the playoff's and I wanted to keep the season going anyways. I love this game. The practice sessions are very helpful and the game is fast paced and fun. Gameplay: This game is very easy to get into. The first ten minutes out of the box I had the controls down, but weeks later I am still mastering the controls so that I can gain those few extra rushing yards. I love the fact that I can edit the team names and jerseys of the teams I don't like to "The CreamPuffs" or "The Pansies." Now I'm ready to take it online and show some losers there worth. Graphics: This games visuals are awesome. I am sick of all these PS2 fans posting on this site blasting Microsoft's games. This game could never go on PS2 because the picture is too realistic. The snow is very realistic. and the players movements are believable. (watch the players in the background during slow motion replays.) Sound: The background sounds are great. I admit that the announcers get annoying, but you can turn them off. Suggestions: For NFL Fever 2004 make more option during the practice session. It would be awesome if you would create an option that would watch your play and then tell you what you are doing wrong.
Overall: This game is a ton of fun. Ya, it's no madden or 2k3, but i'm not much for "total" realism. I love the arcade feel to it, and especially, the only on xbox graphics. The tackles get repetitive, but hey, i have xbox live, so this game is worth every bit to me. Overall this even's out all my shooter games and makes for a fun relaxing sports game that's not soo realistic that it's hard and boring. Gameplay: Gameplay is good. Controls are nice. This game flows along pretty quickly, which i think is good. Online is what makes this game the best. It's fun to talk to other guys, see your rankings, choose specific game modes and such. That's why i give this game a five. Just awesome online. Graphics: Visually this is the best looking football game for xbox. Everything about it is great. Again, online is the best. Sound: Sound, well the announcers are kind of weak. Could have been better, but who cares when there's online? Suggestions: Add more variety in the tackles and change the announcers. Great job on the online part!
Overall: It is a great game with many features. I think this game would rock when you make Fever 2004 Gameplay: Well it is a sport's game so how could you put a sports game down. I have played the OXM disc and they had the 3 football games. I think yours was the best game Graphics: Great graphics. Nice and smooth just how I like the XBOX graphics to be. You could make the players a little bit sharper in Fifa 2004 Sound: Great sound and it goes well with all of the action. I think this game comes great when it is surrounded by all other XBOX games Suggestions: You should put better things in for create a player. When you make a player you can make the player 99 skill ranking, and that is stupid because it will be no competition when player's against somebody. Also all the faces look alike and they don't look like the real people that are on the real NFL teams
Overall: Wow, this game is quite sad, but at its time, it was top of the line. It doesnt even compare to ESPN football. I used to love it on XBL tho. Gameplay: The gameplay is cool, but way too easy. My friend can rush for 300 yards, and i can pass for 800... in one half.. Its quite sad actually! Graphics: This game is terrible in graphics. The bodies are so out of porportion, its pretty sad. I cant believe i thought they were good back then Sound: The sounds in this game were average. Doesnt come close to the sounds on ESPN FPF {first person football}. They are typical to any other football game though Suggestions: uh... how bout change alot! and NFL fever 2004 was sad too :-
Overall: The graphics are pumped up from last year. The defense is tighter. The QB's can throw bullet passes. The commentary is well done. Best of all you can play it on LIVE. Fever 2003 has no competition and I've played them all. Pepsi Hilite Reel at the end of each game is awesome. Just like a TV broadcast! I'm glad I traded Madden '03 for this game. I would have missed out on a lot. And by the way, in Dynasty mode you can adjust the quarters now from 5 to 15 minutes. Gameplay: The defense reacts better. The passing is more realistic. Dynasty mode is top notch. The DPP (Dynamic Player Progression) adds a whole new demension to the game. Graphics: The graphics look slightly better than last years game. I didn't think there was room for improvement since even last years Fever blows away this years competion in graphics. Even the towels that some players have move in the wind. Looks like a TV broadcast. Sound: I grew tired of Madden '03 and one of the reasons was Madden's lame repetitive comments. The commentary in Fever is a welcome relief. Also unlike Madden and Sega's 2K3 there are no pauses when announcing teams or players. The way the crowd, stadium announcer and commentary blend together is excellent. Suggestions: Just keep up the good work and next year Fever will dominate EA and Sega. It does now. A lot of effort was put into this game.
Overall: a really fun and creative football game. not just your usual nfl teams....the custom teaming and dynasty modes add to the gaming experience Gameplay: even though it is a football game, its one that you wont get tired of easily the tackles and different animations keep you playing Graphics: really great visuals even though i could deal with less cutscenes, i enjoyed watching the facial expressions of my players after a touchdown Sound: it really surprised me when i started the game up and the clipse bounced at me....i wasnt expecting that but i really enjoy their music Suggestions: more capabilities with online pla...how about a sudden death showdown or kickoff competition
Overall: This game has everything needed to be great, but for some reason it comes up a bit short. The franchise mode has everything: player salaries, contract negotiations, a draft with created players, hall of fame elections, retired jerseys, you get the picture. However, you just flatout lose interest. Gameplay: The gameplay is flawless, but it just is so realistic its boring. The classic challenge is the only mode you end up playing in, as in franchise mode (called dynasty mode) you find yourself deciding to be a gm, not a player. Graphics: Good graphics, actually great graphics, so good you spend more time at the replay section than at the playing portion of the game (if your picking up a theme). Also the game has a AI that find the best plays of the game,(by some wacky formula) and displays them as a highlite real at the end, not bad. Sound: Standard football grunts, with the average rock soundtrack. Suggestions: Dont sacrifice fun for realism.
Overall: This game was the best out of the games that came out this year for football in 2003. It could have added more commentary I thought and the players looked like carved out blocks. With Xbox live this game really rocked. It needed work but i bet the next one will be the best out of the football genre. Gameplay: A little touchy at some parts and maybe they should have added reviews on plays, but with xbox live it really made this game fun and exciting. Graphics: The players looked like they were carved out of blocks and they could run. I did not like the visuals that much at all it could have been better. Sound: They need more commentary I get sick of them saying ooh look at that hit it may be fun at first, but with xbox live you should be able to download more. Suggestions: Be able to download for commentary and make it so you can call a review that would be the best.
Overall: It's alright. Seems just like an average football game to me. I would not reccomend it. The controls and movements are very annoying. Very slow paced. Gameplay: Meh, its the worst part... Your players move so unrealistically slow. It's just really annoying. When you switch to an AI player for some reason your player turns back a lot, the opposite direction he was running... I still havent figured out why... also you could play by only selecting the plays and let the computer do the rest... your players run on their own which is SO annoying, and you have a hard time getting control of them... it's pretty annoying. Graphics: Cmon... for a game with these small of a level, the graphics could be better... the animations suck. The collisions are horrible. I see the ball go through the ground all the time... also elbows and knees go through too. Cmon guys... Sound: OYE! The title screen is so annoying. The announcers dont shut up on it. The music is also pretty annoying there too. Otherwise I guess stuff is pretty much fine. Suggestions: Don't make NFL Fever 2004!
Overall: Very cool. Yep thats right , this is a very realistic game and its has great things in it. Such as the diffrent plays in it and you can even make you own plays. Also this game if you play it online it is extrodinary , just amazing how feirce the competition is. I reccomend this game to every bod who is any body. Gameplay: Great graphics , wonderful plays , and very addictive. I got so addictive to this game that i played it so much that i almost lost my part time job at kroegers. What can i say I was always late. I just had to have that 2 hours in the morning before i went to work. Graphics: The Visual effect are just stunning. Its just as simple as that. The coloring in the feild is awesome and when it snows or raind you actually see the foot prints of the players on the feild Sound: This game in sound, well I have only one thing to say , Perfect. When i first started to play this game I actually felt I was There literally in the stadium , sitting right there with the people in the crowds. Suggestions: Make more stadiums. You have ove like 40 stadiums but make some stadiums just mad up from imagination.
Overall: This is by far my favorite football game. With it's online capabilities, you can not only smack up your opponent with your new killer plays but you can mouth off to them while your doing it!!! Gameplay: This game has the best controls for a football game ever! with the spinning, ramming, stiff arming etc. You could pull off killer runs against your opponent. Which look sweet when you see the replay or just watch it from your decided view, and theres a hella lotta views!!! Graphics: I love these graphics!! the field and players look next to real! The players clothes get dirtier and dirtier as you progress in the football game. Depending on the weather, you could have 3 inches on mud on the back of your players helmets if it raining! And if the home team is really doing bad, than people stary leaving the stadium! It gives you even more reasons to laugh at your opponents on xbox live!!! Sound: The sound is done quite well. You hear the players grunting and the sound of the players helmets bashing together. But they could work on the crowd sound like the yelling, chants, etc. and the announcer comments. After you play it for a while you start to remember the comments and are able to recite them as the announcer says them. Suggestions: Just work on the background graphics and the announcer/crowd sounds... and the cheerleader models :D
Overall: It's the best game, everything you expect in a good challenging football game, online is awesome, but there should be some control over th modified live playing, also, maybe season playing leagues just like how fanasty football is done with their leagues and if someone can't play their scheduled game then let there be a forfeit. Gameplay: Thumbs up keep up the good work, hopefully my suggestions on the upgrades can be considered for 2004, it would be the sh*t, also maybe have the pro bowl worth playing, like the player of the game wins a vehicle at the end... a lot of people SIM the game, instead of playing it....make it worth wild to play... Graphics: Nice Graphics, the replys are all awesome. Maybe Mascots cheering on the crowd. Maybe some small scuffles when a blow out game or two rivals with the same records down in the playoffs go down. Sound: Sounds and hits need more sound effect especially on a good hit.some yelling and from different positions talking trash, will hype up the game, even boos from the crowd. Suggestions: Challenge Plays, there has been some flaws on out of bounce calls, even pass interference calls. Make the hits more dramatic, and the injuries limping off the field and even a medical report, during the game when the player will be back. Make the Pro Bowl and Awards come out with players profiles like football cards, as well as their stats. Maybe make half time shows with our own music playing, not necessary when we are playing just during half time. Make like a ESPN PRIME TIME SHOW AFTER EACH WEEK, and Their Prediction on teams to fire up the underdogs....Other than these upgrades your doing awesome...
Overall: Awesome! Best football game ever played. So much fun. Evrythings awesome in it . One of the best games for xbox definetely a must have! Gameplay: If you like football then you need this game its sooo much fun and its on xbox live. You can do so much in this game . Graphics: Awesome graphics alot better than any madden game out there. Really great graphics but there not look alikes of the pros they just have generic faces but they have helmets on so its not a big deel. Sound: Good sound announcers like in all games get annoying but good sound effects when players are tackled. Suggestions: Hmmmm i'm just not sure there are any. Maybe the players can have their real faces?
Overall: Awesome game especially if you have xbox live. Its still not near madden or 2k3, but live definitely makes up for it Gameplay: easy to get used to, i am so used to madden that i had to switch the controls to madden style, so i dont know how much better the default is Graphics: not great graphics in the sense of realism, but in the sense of arcade style football, the graphics are amazing Sound: nothing really to talk about in the sound part of this game, dont really hear it that much except for a little trash talking Suggestions: make it have more options in the game itself, make it a little more realistic to football
Overall: I have only played NFL Fever 2002 on Xbox and don't have any frame of reference for how Madden or Sega's football titles compare.
I feel that NFL Fever2003 is pretty much the same as 2002, with the multiplayer aspect of LIVE enabled. NFL Fever 2002 wasn't broke and I don't think there was much for MS to fix. Gameplay: I think NFL Fever 2003 stands on its own. If you go around comparing it then it maybe takes a backseat to Madden (no LIVE) or Sega NFL2k3. Look at independent reviews of NFL 2002 and add online aspect (LIVE) NFL2002 was reviewed very highly when it came out. Good graphics, Online (LIVE) NFL! Graphics: Very good Xbox quality graphics. Good player models, nice looking stadiums. Little details like in the 4th quarter if the home team is getting blown out, the fans in the stands start leaving empty seats. Nice detail Sound: Good stuff here. Typical sport sounds. Commentary is weak as it was in 2002. Needs work for next year. I get tired of hearing the same thing 8x in a game. Suggestions: Have penalties occur more often. Jazzier Halftime stats graphics, like player rosters at start of game.
Maybe make them animated like on NFL on Fox. Have play call challenge replays.
Overall: I liked this game. I haven't played the first one, but this one is good. I usually hate realistic sports games, but this one is good. Gameplay: It isn't as complicated as I thought it would be. There still is a lot of moves you can do, but it is really easy to learn. Graphics: The graphics are pretty good. nuff said. Sound: Anouncers are flaming idiots. other than that, the soung is fine. Suggestions: You should include the forearm shiver so you can try to knock down the offensive lineman. other than that, you should be able to make your own team.
Overall: I really like this game, especially when i boot it up to play some xbox live. this was great to play during the beta testing days, and is great to play now Gameplay: i really like the gameplay of this game. i just think the game is really fun and th best football game on the market Graphics: well....the graphics are superb except for the player faces. these suck. the madden faces looked way way better Sound: sound is alright, you cant include much sound in a football game except for mayb annoucing, i guess. Suggestions: player faces
Overall: this is the most funest game i have ever played in my live. it is like you are the players which is the best part.the graphics are good(great!!!)and the controllers are light weight and small.thats what I think about this game. Gameplay: the aperl of the game is great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so iwould not change a thing what so ever!!!!!!!!! Graphics: the graphics are the best part besides the gameplay.it relly fells like you are the players,thats why it is the best. Sound: the sound of the game is good but not as graet as the graphics so you could cange the sound a little bit. Suggestions: you sould change nothing. the game is great!!
Overall: The best football game the U.K has got , also , live enabled ! . Excellent gameplay , graphics and an eternal lifespan.......... Gameplay: Like many sports games , can essentially last forever . The fact that it's an awesome game only enhances it's excellence Graphics: Grpahically brilliant . All the players look like their real life counterparts . The stadium and crowd also look terrific. Sound: All the sounds that you would hear on a football pitch.The crowd is also well created and enhances the atmosphere. Suggestions: zippo
Overall: Again nothing much improved except for xbox live. Game gotten harder. NFL Fever 2002 is slightly better. Gameplay: Gameplay if fun in one player season mode and multiplayer that goes with xbox live makes it real good. Graphics: The graphics are way better then NFL Fever 2002 graphics are even any football game on the xbox. Sound: Announcers, sound effects are great and awsome. Makes you wonder if you are watching the game on the T.V. Suggestions: Why is the game harder and nothing much improved.
Overall: the game is ok if you like last year but if you have last year don't buy this game it's the same game and another thing is that the computer passing is just about stupid they catch the ball 85% of the time and you only catch the ball 40% of the time thats in pro level i think they really need to watch football who makes thease games cause it's not real at all the players look nothing like they do in real life all other games are better i hope they make this game better for next year or i'm not going to even bother whith there sports games at all cause so far they don't even show what the xbox can do i mean lets see the power of the xbox so far it's no better than a dreamcast thats no !&%$@#* Gameplay: sucks real bad what the hell was they thinking what was they thinking on this they made this game worse than last year Graphics: where is the power of the xbox they say the xbox is so powerful i don't see it it looks like a dreamcast really i think this was all bull !&%$@#* on what the xbox could do and this game shows it Sound: the only good thing in the game but could be better like after a good hit have the players from both sides show the impact that would be cool Suggestions: watch football and make the people look like them and show the power of the xbox cause so far gamecube and ps2 looks much better i'll give you one more shot show me something quit giving us bull !&%$@#*
Overall: NFL Fever 2002 was microsofts first attempt at a football game on the xbox. it wasnt that good, but i thought for nfl fever 2003, they would make it better. i was wrong. they did nothing but update the roster and make a few new animations. Gameplay: this game is basically the same as last years title. there were no major inhancements made to any parts of the game. it is still fun to pick up and play, but hardcore football fans should stay away from this game. Graphics: visually it looks exsactly like last years, some animations look horible, when the players run, it looks like they want to take a dump. the player models still look good, but the player faces look nothing like the real person. Sound: the commentary is a little better than last years, but they say the same things over and over. other than that, all the sound affects and music fit well in the game.
Overall: great football game the best awsome peaple are so full of it all the other franchises madden 2k3 are all atari looking games compared to this the only reason anyone says anything bad is because it is similar to the first one crap the first one was better then all the 2003 football games now and the second they improved every way they could little bit better graphics which were allready the best make your own team all great new stuff Gameplay: the best simply the best microsoft rools man everything they put out is such quality love its great simply great Graphics: xbox need i say more on the console that pushes a higher bandwidth than pcs with over 1800 mghz processors and a geforce 3 ti 500 modified like a geforce 4 with duel vertex shadders and pipelines that cary more then any graphics card to date awsome viduals Sound: killer anouncers hits replay action everything the game is the shiznit its awsome sounds great keeps you in the game if the visuals and gameplay werent enough Suggestions: just make fever 2004 just as much of an improvment
Overall: I heard this was a great game, so instead of Madden I bought this. I was disappointed. Its a great looking, fast paced, arcade version of football. Perhaps a step up from NFL Blitz series as far as realism is concerned.
If your looking for a fast paced game of football, that does not resemble real football, this game is it.
If you want a football game that resembles reality, look elsewhere. Gameplay: This game is not football. If you are forced to play five minute quaters to get realistic stats it just is not football. Its that simple.
I had a guy get 123 sacks in a single season, and he was a rookie for the MN Vikings. That is plain B.S., and that was on 5 minute quarters.
This is not football. Graphics: Beatuful game. In fact this is the only redeeming quality of the game. The player models are superb. The weather effects are the best I've seen. Sound: Holy cow. This game has the most annoying announcing duo ever. I turned them off after my third game because I heard everything they had to say at least 5 times. I still hear "Take to the house" in my sleep.
Overall: honestly an awsome football game te best iv ever seen i rented sega 2k3 and madden 2003 honestly this game whomps em so much put into it realistic movment godly graphics seroius this football game is the stuff and you know why peaple give it bad reviews because it had alot of simularits to 2002 you kow what 2002 looks better then madden and 2k3 2002 was absolutly amazing so they gave it way better graphics which are way noticeable the new season ability to make your own players and team and play it online so what are you guys talking about this game is everything i expected
Gameplay: awsome first rate makes all others it women seroiusly top notch gameplay hits that are amazing you have to repeat them over and over
mocap features that were only for the bad !&%$@#* box which is advanced motion capture that is way being even computers right now it is amazing Graphics: awsome halo quality for a football game and it is mind blowing truly the football game to get helmet relections are dead on and the size of the player look on xboxs site one of the big advertisements were how the players are exactly the size they are in real life they even desighned real personalitys to them and touchdown moves this game is awsome with realism beyond other games awsome trust me Sound: amazing the peaple they allow to review are gimped they should be shot man this games annoucers are amazing allways putting out realistic quotes and tounts for the occasion they had the real announcers desighn what they say check thay out on xbox.com Suggestions: just make a fever 2003
Overall: I rented NFL 2K3, Madden 2003, and NFL fever 2003, I spent a weekend playing all three. What I found out is that Madden is a game for football groupies who fall in love with the individual players, there stats and such, and they want nothing more than watching there dream boat move around on the screen.It's a statistics game. NFL 2k3 was alot like Madden but they spent some more time on the graphics than Madden but they still suck. NFL 2k3 was a yawn fest. Madden and NFL 2k3 are the most boring games ever. unless you drool over football players stats. Anyway on to NFL Fever- It was actually a fun to play video game. If you like to watch football then get Madden or NFL2k3, but if you want a fun to play football game NFL fever is the only choice out there. Gameplay: Easy to start, but you quickly realize that there is as much to control as you are willing to do manualy , or you can let the reciever auto catch if your not skilled enough in the begining. Overall flawless gameplay it moves at a pace of your choosing, I personaly like the get into the action instead of staring at the line up waiting for the hutt hutt crap. you can snap right away, and get the game going. This is the smoothest solid football gameplay ever. Graphics: The players do not ghost through eachother like I saw right away with Madden and NFL 2k3. The weather was so detailed that there is even thunder flashes during rain and when it snows you leave your prints. It looks so real sometimes it creeps me out, I wonder if I'm watching a video game. Sound: Like every video games anouncer eventually he will repeat himself. At least this anouncer has some enthusiasm. I can't stand Madden he drones on with an aragance like Imus. I have a 5.1 sony theater system and when you clabber a guy you can hear his bones crunch. In those other games when you hit a guy he grunts like he is in prison. Suggestions: Allow me to play my own music, Punk music and football go together better than yo yo yo! wigidy.
Overall: Fever 2003 overall to any diehard football fan is a great simulation. The graphics are life-like, the speed is awesome, and the overall gameplay is good also. Compared to Madden or Sega's 2k series, this game could be a little better in the real life simulation, but overall it's a great football game that is very fun. Gameplay: Gameplay in this game is probably the most realistic aspect you will see in the game. Running the ball is great because it is easy to spin, juke, or stiffarm, but you have to know when to use these. The computer is smart, you think you have a hole in the line, when all of a sudden you didn't see that cornerback coming in on a blitz. Passing is o.k., could have slowed it down a little bit. Overall gameplay is better than that of Madden or 2k3. Graphics: The only reason I am giving this category a low rating is because of the big player animations. The Q.B's look like they tackled on about 50-75 extra pounds during the off season. But other then that, I enjoyed the stadiums, weather, and the little details that were in play. Sound: Commentary is a little too repetetive, but that is in every football game you play now days. It's no worse than Madden or 2k3. Suggestions: Great football game, just work on downsizing the players a little bit. If you do that, I think a lot more people will enjoy the game since people now days look for graphics in the game before anything else. Otherwise, Fever 2003 should be a must own for anybody that loves football.
Overall: What the hell is everyone complaining about? I got this game as a gift and was trying to trade it in since nobody seems to like it. I used to have a dream cast so I really wanted NFL2k3, but decided to give NFL Fever a try. I have to admit that the game was pretty impressive right from the start. Stop complaining and enjoy the game. Gameplay: The game play is different from Madden and NFL 2k3, but different is sometimes better. Passing is a lot easier in this game then NFL 2k3. It seems like 2k3 makes passing really hard on any level other then Rookie. I think this is an all-round solid play... but takes a little getting used to since controls are different then 2k3. Play book is very nice, except for visuals.
Pracitce mode was a cool way to learn how to play the game. Take 20 minutes and go through the training camp. Graphics: Graphics are very nice.... players look right on. The stadiums and feilds look almost better then life. I think 2k3 might have some better visuals on replay mode, but Fever is right there with them while in play.
My one complaint is in the visuals while choosing a play. The X's and O's are terrible. Get some color and graphics involved in the play book. Sound: The announcers aren't as bad as everyone says. I even find there corny !&%$@#* lines entertaining. The all-round crowd, Hitting, and trash talking is really cool. Sound is definitly a plus.
If you don't like the commentating, then turn it off. Suggestions: Beter visuals on the play book.
Overall: over all its a great game exept for very few miner details yea it like 2002 but its much better all around. Gameplay: the game play is good its easy to understand the plays are in high detail so u know whats all goin on easyer. Graphics: The visual effect is great the helemet reflextions are perfect and if people think the visual effect in 2k3 is better u stupid. Sound: Sound is great exept for the annoncers they are kinda annoying.
the takleing sounds good . Suggestions: Nice Job just change anoncers and make it less like 2002.
