Franchise - Sega NFL 2003 Manual

Runner Pivot Mode - When ON, the camera pivots to stay centered on the moves of the ball carrier.
Pass Play Zoom Out - When ON, the camera zooms out after the snap to show all eligible receivers, then
zooms in when the pass is released to focus on the target receiver and the catch.
Sega Sports Tip – Pass Play Zoom Out
Having trouble making reads on your wide receivers near the sidelines? Turn the Pass Play Zoom Out
option ON for a larger view that encompasses the entire field and allows you to see all eligible receivers in
order to make more accurate reads.
Choose Side
You can access the Choose Side screen during a game to switch control from one team to the other, or to
allow newcomers to join the game in progress. The Choose Side screen functions similarly to the Team
Select screen.
To choose sides:
• Move the Left Thumbstick or D-Pad to move your icon to the side you wish to control during the game.
• To assign a user name to your control pad, press the WHITE or BLACK Buttons to scroll through the
available options. If you want to create a new user name to add to the list, see the Sega Sports Challenge
on page 30.

CHOOSING A GAME MODE
Choose one of eight unique, in-depth game modes, including Franchise, Season, Playoffs, Practice,
Tournament, Situation, Exhibition, and Play Live, as follows:

FRANCHISE

Choose a team and own it. Create your coach, and take care of front office decisions such as Free Agent
signings, player scouting combines, drafts, and coaxing players out of retirement. You also play the role of
coach and take care of business down on the field.
Preseason Games – Set this to ON if you want to take part in the five-week preseason at the start of each
year, or OFF to start playing from the first game of the regular season.
Trade Deadline – If you want to continue making trades and other transactions beyond the standard NFL
trade deadline period, set this option to OFF.
Fantasy Draft Roster – To take part in a Fantasy Draft before beginning your Franchise session, you must
set this option to ON. The Fantasy Draft allows you to select 53 players round by round to build the ultimate
team from the best players in the league.
Customize League – With this option set to ON, you can customize the league by moving any team,
including a created team, into any conference or division you wish.
Import NCAA 2K3 Class – If you have an NCAA 2K3 class saved to a memory unit, set this option to ON,
and you can draft the players as NFL rookies.
As USER, head coach, and general manager, you have the option to conduct all player transactions yourself
or assign any of these responsibilities to your ASSISTANT COACH, in which case the computer makes all
necessary personnel decisions for you. Here are the tasks that you have the option to assign to your
assistant coach, should you feel the need to focus your attention elsewhere:
