NCAA Football 2003 still stands as the ultimate realization of the football technology that has powered EA and sports games in general to unprecedented mainstream popularity. The NFL series' popularity helped take NCAA Football from a modest debut in 2001 to the number two overall sports game in 2002 behind Madden NFL 2003, but the game is far more than simply Madden with college logos. With more than 100 real schools represented and the ability create your own college football program from scratch, NCAA Football 2003 captured the very essence of the college game with wide open offenses and plenty of school spirit.
