FIFA 2003 is a big improvement from 2002 but the disappointing thing is not being able to edit and create players or edit the teams themselves, not that FIFA it needs much editing anyway it would just be nice to add yourself into the game.
Even if the creation centre is in place, Fifa 2003 is still not playable as it is not "Soccer" in the very sense of the word. Being an ex diehard of the Fifa 2003 I think I am qualified to tell you that the corners in Fifa 2003 really sucks. During corners, you need not do anything, your keeper will just dive left or right to retrieve first timers. Your opponent will not score neither will they be able to hit the ball against the cross bar or the upright let alone miss. However if you were to push the goalie rush button, you had it, chances is that the opponent will score. Now do you call this Soccer. Other than better player movement and better ball physics, the game is certainly not better than Fifa 2002. At least there are more uncertainties in Fifa 2002 to pump our adrenalin.
