MADDEN NFL 2003
When the coach appeared on the first edition of
John Madden Football
in 1989, the game featured three modes of play: single game, playoffs,
and sudden death. There were 16 city franchises included, leaving some football fans without their favorite teams. But even a legend has to
start somewhere.
John Madden Football
not only signaled the release of a new game, but it also heralded the beginning of an era. This was the
first graphical computer game to use full 11-man teams, actual NFL players, and authentic pro football coaching strategies. Thirteen years and
millions of copies later,
Madden NFL 2003
is raising the bar as the best football game out there.
After so many years, this franchise continues to surprise and delight us with new features, better AI, smoother and more realistic
animations, and even more BAM! than last year. We know that you want to dive into our team reports and strategies for
Madden NFL 2003
, but
first join us for a trip down memory lane as we present a brief pictorial history of the EA SPORTS Madden franchise.
After the Madden scrapbook, we introduce
Madden NFL 2003: Prima's Official Strategy Guide
, outlining each section so you can quickly find
the information you need. This year's guide has all new team reports (including the Texans), offensive and defensive strategies, statistics,
ratings, playing tips, and more. But first, let's go back in time when football players had helmet-sized pixels.

In 1986, the CEO of Electronic Arts met with John Madden as he was
traveling by train to broadcast an NFL game. The CEO and various EA programmers spoke to Madden about collaborating on the first PC
football game. Madden liked the ideas he was hearing, but when EA suggested that the game feature two teams of seven players, Madden
wouldn't hear of it. "If it's not 11-on-11, it's not real football," he said. "I won't put my name on it if it's not real."
At that historic moment, the direction for the Madden franchise was set–even though it sent EA back to the drawing board for another two
years before they could perfect a game with 22 players.
Every year, Madden's mandate has motivated the EA team to produce the most realistic and authentic football game possible.
Madden is the best there is at communicating what is happening on a football field. During his NFL broadcasts, he becomes a
teacher. As a Super Bowl–winning coach, he knows the Xs and Os, but what sets him apart is that he can communicate advanced football
theory in easy-to-understand language. EA wanted to tap into that knowledge to make the video game deep in gameplay and AI, yet
easy and fun to play.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
The following describes the content of each section, giving you insights into how we accumulated and created our statistics and strategies.
Game Modes and Features
In this section we concentrate on new aspects of
gameplay and other issues that deserve more detailed
analysis. Keep your game manual handy, because we
don't cover basic controller commands and game
functions. We provide valuable information on new
features like Mini-Camp and Create-A-Playbook, along
with previews of every playing mode.
Offensive Tutorial
We're talking formations, play calling, game plans,
audibles, two-minute offenses, controller technique,
and more. This section contains everything you want to
know about running and passing the football, with
dozens of detailed screenshots.
Defensive Tutorial
You can score, but can you stop the other team? The
defensive section contains all-new formations,
including the famous 46 defense. We offer detailed
play calling strategies and outline the strengths and
weaknesses of each formation. Check out our new
down-and-distance strategy section.
Teams
This section is devoted to team profiles, statistics, and
key plays on offense and defense. We don't pull any
punches, so read the scouting reports to find out how
this season is shaping up for your favorite team.
Franchise Mode
This is where you put all your
Madden
experience on
the line as you take your team to the Super Bowl (or to
the first pick in next year's college draft). We take you
through a season in Franchise Mode, with tips on
drafting, negotiating contracts, signing free agents,
arranging depth charts, and analyzing future college
draft picks.
Madden Cards
We give you a Madden Card checklist, complete with
award requirements and descriptions of every card in
the game.
Draft Tables
This chapter is your Fantasy Draft bible. You'll find
individual tables sorted by position for every player in
Madden NFL 2003
. We've included key ratings related
to each position, rather than just the overall rating. So,
whether you're looking for a run-stuffing cornerback or
a lightning-fast cover guy, our draft lists hold the
answer.
Two-Minute Drill
Scorebook
Our handy scoresheet lets you track your points as
you pile up yards, touchdowns, and field goals in two
minutes on the field. It's fun, and it will also improve
your ability to run a successful two-minute offense
during a game.
