Sega Sports NHL 2K3 delivers player realism down to size, skill, and behavior, resulting in individuals that exhibit lifelike styles of play. The all-new franchise mode lets you capitalize on player accuracy to develop a team that plays your brand of hockey: you can draft hotshot rookies, trade for players who complement your team, and compensate for injured players. You can also put that precision to work on the ice by anchoring lines with key players and rotating those lines to create the matchups you want. The game also features a new ESPN broadcast system, so scores and highlights are presented in the network's characteristic style.
