The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A faithful recreation of NHL hockey that puts you in command of fluid puck control and real team dynamics, rewarding players who master its mechanics.

About
In order to become a superstar in the NHL, you'll need a combination of speed, power, and moves. NHL 2003 gives you the abilities of all the stars and teams of pro hockey, but it's up to you to master them. This time, you have full control of the puck with Dynamic Deke Control and accurate puck physics. The game also features four game modes, including Create-a-Player, enhanced sounds and animations, and dynamic camera work to bring you closer to the NHL action.
What players say
Considered one of the best hockey sims of its time, praised for tight control and added manual deking; fun and approachable for newcomers and veterans alike, though some found the pace too fast and the changes incremental.
