NFL Fever 2003

NFL Fever 2003 is the second entry in Microsoft's in-house football series for the Xbox.

The included teams and players have been updated for the 2002 NFL season, with the newly formed eight divisions and the expansion team Houston Texans included. All the predecessor's game modes return, which include Practice, Single Games and Season. Practice mode has added tactical tutorials called Chalk Talks. Season mode again includes the 25-season dynasty mode, and replaces last year's Fantasy Challenge with the Classic Challenge, a ladder tournament against classic NFL teams. A new addition to dynasty mode is the Super Bowl challenge - when winning the Super Bowl, the dynasty team is challenged by a previous champion. Defeating champions in the Super Bowl or Classic Challenge unlocks classic players and teams for use.

New options are Xbox Live support for online multiplayer and downloadable roster updates. Local multiplayer via System Link is also supported. New customization options include a play editor for custom plays and playbooks as well as as uniform and stadium editors.
