Features
New features in this installment of the NHL FaceOff series include a Career Mode, in which you control the General Manager of your favourite hockey team, doing managerial duties such as signing players, making trades and drafting. It also introduces a fully revamped game engine with over 700 new animations, as well as redesigned player and arena models.
The game was also the first “FaceOff” to be made exclusively for the PlayStation 2, as well as the first one without a version for the original PlayStation.
Reception
NHL FaceOff 2003 received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
IGN' Chris Roper said, "The career mode is there, but you have to actually play the game to use it. The game also supports eight players, but you'll have to find others who want to play it first." GameSpot's Craig Beers said, "NHL FaceOff 2003 is a substandard hockey game [...] Everything this game tries to do is done better in other hockey games like EA's NHL series."
