Are you ready for Xbox football? Last year, NFL Fever 2002 helped establish Xbox gaming. Now, Microsoft is

back and NFL Fever 2003 is better than last year’s version. The visuals are awesome and the gameplay has

improved. With Xbox Live, you can now take your game online and see how you stack up with the best NFL Fever players.

We’ve got it all covered in this strategy guide. Want to know how to maneuver through Training Camp? We’ve got you covered. Want

in-depth analysis of every play in the game? We’ve got you covered. Need help in Dynasty mode? We’re here to help. Need a tip to help

out your multiplayer games? We’re there to help. Every tip, trick, and piece of information we could find has been crammed into this

guide. Practice up and get ready to dominate your friends.

You are in total control of the game.

When the pass is in the air, switch to the

nearest defender and leap for the ball.

With the instant control that NFL Fever

2003 provides, you’ll be there to make

the key interception.

Once you’re on offense, air it out with a

quick strike down the field. With NFL

Fever 2003 you can make spectacular

leaping and one-handed grabs. You have

the best shot at coming down with the

ball because you're in total control.

When running the ball, know the strengths

of your running back. Do you have a power

back like Jerome Bettis? Pound the ball

inside and take it to the defense.

What you really want to do is score, right? Select from one of more than 400 offensive

plays and go to work. Take the snap, roll out to the left, and air the ball out to your

receiver. Perfect pass! You’re in the end zone for the score. This year’s playbook has new

plays to help round out the West Coast Offense and your two-minute drill.

Need a football refresher? Check out NFL

Fever ’s exclusive Chalk Talk. There are

tons of new tips to help you get into the

game. Straight from the developers of

the game, you will get the tips and train-

ing you need.

If Chalk Talk isn’t enough, and you need

something a little more “hands-on,” try

out Training Camp. NFL Fever 2003 offers

a series of drills to improve your skills.

Prima’s Official Strategy Guide

Running

NFL Fever 2003 has the perfect setup to hone your football skills. Select

Practice from the main menu, then pick Training Camp. Like the real NFL,

Training Camp is where the players brush up on their skills before the sea-

son begins. Training Camp isn’t only for players who are new to console

football games. It helps any player learn the ins and outs of the control

setup in NFL Fever 2003 . You will complete drills in running, passing, tackling,

and kicking—everything you must know to compete.

The first drill in the running portion of

Training Camp is simple: run through the

series of cones in 15 seconds or less. Use

the analog stick to follow the on-field

arrows through the series of cones.

The second drill is called

Turbo. In Turbo you learn

how to use your runner’s

speed burst capability.

When you press and hold

the Turbo button, a

small lightning bolt icon

appears above your play-

er, telling you that the

player is moving faster

than normal. Watch how

the color of the light-

ning bolt fades the longer you hold it. As in real life, your players can

give boosts from time to time, but they cannot sustain the extra ener-

gy output. Follow the same path through the cones, this time tapping

the Turbo button to make it in the required 12 seconds.

The third drill is called Spin Move. This drill has you run through the now-familiar series of cones again, with a defender trying to stop you. Get past

your opponent by executing a Spin Move. When he comes toward you, hit the Spin Move; your runner will slip through the defender's fingertips.

Practice knocking over the defender with the Shoulder drill. You’ll run through the

cones, and once again the defender comes out to stop you. This time, execute a

Shoulder Charge to knock the defender over and keep on running. If you time it right,

you’ll knock the defender on his back.

If you are too late, the defender will knock you over. This costs precious time, and you

will fail the drill.

The last running drill is called Mixed. Use a

combination of the four previous drills to

reach the end zone. Now that you have

the running game under control, head

over to the passing drills.

Passing

Kicking

As with the running drills, there are five passing drills, but they are all essentially the

same. Press 1 to hike the ball, then press the corresponding button on the controller

( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 ) to complete the pass. Don't worry about leading your receivers. Follow the

onscreen instructions before each drill, and you will know which receiver to throw the

ball to.

The kicking drill is tricky. Line up the kicking arrow with the with the zone you want to hit, then kick with the right amount of power.

This is a good drill, so take a minute to practice each time you turn on the game. Field position is critical in football, and it's important

to learn how to punt the ball deep into the corner (so the other team can't run it back) and kick the ball shallow for an onside kick

attempt. Practice this drill often until you can peg each of the six zones in six tries.

Tackling

You’ve

exploded

through

the line of

scrimmage

on the blitz

and the

quarter-

back is in

your sights.

You dive to

make the

sack but come up with air. This situation has happened

to you before, right? Well, NFL Fever 2003 has the tack-

ling drills set up to help ensure you won't let that offen-

sive player out of your grasp.

Inside the NFL

In the NFL, teams practice on and off throughout the

off-season through minicamps that focus on the fun-

damentals of football and the basics of that team's offense and

defense. As the summer heat builds, the teams open up the full-

blown training camp to prepare players for the preseason and

regular season. Training camp in the NFL is grueling, with two

practices a day and videotape sessions where players look over

their own performances and those of their opponents.

The first couple of drills are with stationary targets. Run up and tackle the offensive player. Then, dive at the player to bring him

down. In the last one, bring down the players who run away as you approach. Use the Turbo button to get a boost of speed and dive to

trip up the offense. Hit this drill every time you power up NFL Fever 2003 ; it will give you the edge to ace out the computer opponent

or your friends in multiplayer action.
