Strong competitors for EA titles

You can tell immediately what SEGA has put value in NHL 2K3, not the optics (though I would not describe the graphics as bad) but a realistic gameplay are at the forefront ...
While simple in its direct competitor EA fast Hockey is offered, also the component tactic plays a major role ...
And that is actually already clear that the game mainly withdraws to the fan and not the casual gamers ...
Despite ESPN license and a successful presentation (live TV Action) the title is not quite comes close to the perfect graphical implementation of NHL 2003 ...
My Conclusion:
All love hockey, and this game will love ... the jump to the 5 stars were denied only by the not so great graphics ...
