Trivia

  • As is done with sports video games, this card set is titled "NFL Showdown 2003", even though the set was released in 2002.
  • Barcodes on cards can be scanned with scanner called the Playgrid, which was included in the starter set, which determines results of plays. Starter set also featured a playmat with football field and down/ball markers.
  • First NFL Showdown edition to feature play results in one-yard increments. Cards from previous expansions (which only used five-yard increments) that are scanned with the improved Playgrid will also have results in one-yard increments, even if only older cards are scanned.
  • Team-building rules, according to the rulebook:
    Teams need at least 1 QB and 2 of all other positions, no duplicate players. Kickers/Punters are optional. Total team player value cannot exceed 5,000 points. Backup players can be added at one-fifth of their total value.
  • #253 Hollis Thomas - Error- Player pictured is Tru Thomas, #72. This is compounded by the fact that Donovan McNabb is clearly in the background and Hollis Thomas is a defensive player

Does anyone know why the Shaun Rogers #113 “Gold” card from this set is the only “Gold” card (I think) that the position is only a black border with white letters and all other cards are all black lettering? Its bugged me so much that I bought multiple just to make sure that is how it came lol.
