AbstractYou want variety? How about 16 leagues and more than 450 teams? That's right, just about every professional franchise from the farthest corners of the globe is ready to play, and you've got your pick of them. As with most EA Sports titles, FIFA SOCCER 2003 places its emphasis on real-world physics rather than arcade-style play, so you can expect each header, diving save, and corner kick to feel right. Awesome commentary and replays give the experience a television-style feel, and a full FIFPro License means that the players are 100% authentic.
