The gameplay on the Xbox is very similar to the PS2 games, with almost identical controls to Madden it is a game easily mastered. The basics of passing, running the football and defending against both that we learned in Madden are re-applied because of the wide open nature of college football. There's more field to work with because of the wider hash marks, plus you've got the definitive play of college football to deal with: the option. Not to mention the additional formations you'll have at your disposal like the double wing and power I sets that you won't see in EA's NFL series. Tiburon has tuned these plays and the players so that it has a college feel with varying levels of talent up and down the rosters. The defenses in NCAA Football 2003 seem extremely limited when compared to the offenses, but then again this is the nature of the sport. On defense you're given the 4-4 and 5-2 defensive formations in addition to the 4-3, 3-4, nickel, dime and goal line sets you'll see in NFL games. Those two extra formations are designed to both counter the run and to allow more of your team strengths on the field. That is, if you have a lot of good linebackers, you'll want those guys on the field as much as possible so run the 4-4 to keep your studs out there. Same thing with the 5-2 since a lineup of run stuffing hogs will ruin any team's chances of running against you.
The graphics have stepped up a notch since NCAA 2002. With the improved game play, graphic, and all of the added features how could anyone not want to add this to there collection.
