GameCube Madden 2003 in Box

Nintendo GameCube case for "Madden NFL 2003" by EA Sports. The standard black GameCube DVD case features Marshall Faulk of the St. Louis Rams — wearing his blue and gold #28 Rams jersey — running with the football. An "All-Madden" badge with John Madden's signature photo sits in the upper left. A "#1 Selling Pro Football Franchise" callout badge appears in the upper right. EA Sports logo in the center. "MADDEN 2003" in large bold text at the bottom with the NFL shield logo. NFL Players Inc. logo. Everyone (E) ESRB rating. Nintendo GameCube banner at the top.

Madden NFL 2003 (2002) featured Marshall Faulk on the cover — the St. Louis Rams running back who was the centerpiece of "The Greatest Show on Turf" and the 2000 NFL MVP. Faulk was one of the most versatile backs in NFL history, equally dangerous running and receiving. This was also the era when being on the Madden cover started to be considered a curse — Faulk's 2003 season saw him battling injuries after years of elite production. The GameCube version of Madden was always a bit of a curiosity — Nintendo's console was more associated with family games, but sports gamers on the purple box still got the full Madden experience. The Greatest Show on Turf, now on GameCube.
