EXHIBITION
Play a preseason game between any two teams. This is the fastest way to suit up and lead your team on to
the field. (See Quick Game on page 7.)
PRACTICE
It can be difficult to master the moves in NFL2K3 when you’re constantly clashing in heated battles with NFL
powerhouses. Practice mode gives you a chance to work on the basics of the game in an environment you
control.
• To begin playing in Practice mode, set the Practice options, then press the START Button to
advance to the Team Select screen.
Practice Type – Choose OFFENSE ONLY to work on your timing, SPECIAL MOVE to try out the controls in
a one-on-one setting, or FULL SCRIMMAGE to practice in more of a game type situation.
Scrimmage Line – Set the line of scrimmage for the drill at any 10-yard marker.
Randomize Defense – When OFF, you face the same defensive play over and over when on offense.
When ON, you play a more varied scrimmage against different types of defenses.
Randomize Offense – When OFF, you defend against the same offensive play over and over when on
defense. When ON, you face multiple types of plays.
Team Select Screen
Select the team you wish to practice with, and if you are practicing in full scrimmage mode, select your
opponent as well. For complete details, see Selecting Teams on page 7.
• Once you select your teams, the loading screen appears and the teams are placed on the field.
(See On the Field on page 7.)
SITUATION
In Situation mode, you set up a game scenario, then enter the game at that point and play the remainder of
the contest. For example, you can set up a situation in which your team is down by two points with 45
seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, and you have to drive 60 yards in order to get into field goal range
to try for the win.
• To begin playing in Situation mode, set the Situation options, then press the START Button to
advance to the Team Select screen.
Home Score – Set the home team’s score to anything from 0-120.
Away Score – Set the visiting team’s score to anything from 0-120.
Possession – Choose who will start with the ball: HOME or AWAY.
Home Timeouts – Set the number of timeouts remaining for the home team: 0-3.
Away Timeouts – Set the number of timeouts remaining for the visiting team: 0-3.
Quarter – Start the situation in any of the regulation quarters, or the FIRST or SECOND OVERTIME period.
Time Remaining – The amount of time left in the quarter. You can set the time in five-second increments,
but the maximum is based on the quarter length you select at the front end Game Options screen.
Current Down – Set the situation up to start on FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, or FOURTH DOWN, or with a
KICKOFF.
Line of Scrimmage – Place the ball anywhere on the field, from the HOME GOAL LINE to the AWAY GOAL
LINE. This is dependent upon the current down, however, as a kickoff can only occur from the kicking
team’s 30 or 20 yard line.
Yards to Go – Choose the amount of yardage needed for a first down, from INCHES to 99 YARDS. This
can be dependent on where the offense starts on the field.
Kicked First – Indicate which team would have kicked off at the start of the game. This will determine who
kicks at the half if required.
