NHL 2K3

The gameplay is similar to other hockey games, but with a few tweaks. All the standard game modes are here, from exhibition games and playoff games, to a very in-depth Franchise mode that gives you complete control over your team. You act as the general manager, coach, scout, and player. You can negotiate contracts, make trades, and draft rookies.

On the ice, you have a lot of control over your team as well. You can anchor lines with key players, rotate your lines to always be matched up, and make sure you have the advantage every which way. The game also features online play via Xbox System Link or Xbox Live, allowing you to connect to a player from anywhere.

Rosters are from the 2002-2003 season, providing an authentic hockey experience.
