This is Football 2003 (TIF 2003)

This is Football 2003 (also known as TIF 2003) is a realistic soccer simulation developed exclusively for the PlayStation 2. The game is part of the popular This is Football series from London Studio (Sony) and is aimed at soccer fans who value authentic gameplay, many licensed teams and extensive game modes.

In This is Football 2003, over 700 real teams from all over the world await you, including national teams and numerous club teams from international leagues. Although the game does not have all the official FIFA or UEFA licenses, it does have extensive team and player editors, which you can use to customize names, kits and line-ups.

The gameplay focuses on realistic movement sequences, sophisticated tactics and intense duels. The physics-based passing and shooting system, which enables more control and precision in the game, was particularly emphasized at the time of release. Swerves, hard tackles and tactical fouls are also part of the game - which sets it apart from other soccer games of the time and provides more drama.

The game modes range from single games, complete leagues and tournaments to career mode, in which you lead your team to success over several seasons. Thanks to the solid multiplayer mode, TIF 2003 is also ideal for exciting matches with friends.

With solid graphics, a realistic atmosphere and a powerful soundtrack, This is Football 2003 offers a successful alternative to the well-known genre giants such as FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer - especially for players looking for a slightly different soccer experience.
