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.

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.

(See On The Field on page 8.)
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.
