This game had the best controls of any basketball game I've ever played, but 2k12 is the best all around basketball game.On the toughest difficulty the computer was a good challenge, but even if you lost you never felt as though it cheated you like in 2k.
did someone notice that the intro of all ps1 games is like a ps2 graphics and all of the ps2 games intro are like ps3 graphics and now ps3 intro in ps3 consoles that means there will be no more any game consoles to come that's what i think thumbs up if u agree,
sorry for my bad english i didn't go to college lol
I remember when this game came out. I use to go to the barber shop down the street from my house and we use to stay in the barber shop for hours playing NBA Live 2003.
@Jynxdays i know....nba live 2004 is when they totally changed it. this game was so good....now ea can't even come close to making a good basketball game
@FloydTheBarbara yeah i play nba 2k12 now because 2k is the best with realism and player charactors and even physics, cameras, the detail, and That cool feature where after halftime they show the birds eye view of the Arena lol i love that
@23JumpmanKing23 Where u been? Try NBA Live 2000, NBA Live 2002, NBA Live 2003, NBA 2K2, NBA 2K3, NBA Inside Drive 2002, NBA Inside Drive 2003, NBA Shootout 2002, NBA Shootout 2003, NBA Courtside 2002, NBA Jam 2002, NBA Street, NBA Street Vol. 2 & Bird vs. Jordan (NES). He's probably in a few more, these are the ones i know he's in for sure.
@TyFly312 Jordan was on Lakers vs. Celtics (Sega Genesis and PC), Bulls vs. Lakers/Blazers (Sega Genesis), Tecmo NBA Basketball (NES and Super NES), NBA All-Star Challenge 1 and 2 and the Sega version of Jordan vs. Bird.
@EverybodyHatesPrince *typo* type of game u prefer because 2K was more fun to me because Live was too easy and unrealistic, u cant tell me that shooting from halfcourt, shooting airballs that still count and rediculous blocking was fun (it was funny but not fun)?
@EverybodyHatesPrince If u mean its more fun because it was easy, unrealistic and arcade style then I guess but i've always been into games that are realistic and challenging (NBA 2K series). Its all about what type of gas
@ptwillis0727 I wasn't fooled back then man (I had all 4 NBA games released in 02). Live 2003, Shootout 2003, 2K3 & Inside Drive 2003. 2K3, Inside Drive, Live then Shootout in that order (as far as graphics).
@MrCWALK17 No they were not top notch graphics at the time. So many ppl were such huge fans of Live that they didn't pay attention to NBA 2K3 ane NBA Inside Drive 2003's graphics. Out of the 4 NBA games that came out in 2002 it goes NBA 2K3, NBA Inside Drive 2003, NBA Live 2003 and NBA Shootout 2003 as far as best graphics to worst.
@drifter290 Compare NBA Live 2003's graphics to NBA Inside Drive 2003 and NBA 2K3's graphics. U cleary didn't see the graphics for the other 2 NBA titles released in 2002.
@Gam3Walkthrough The good, 1. Very fun and addictive, 2. Dribble stick, 3. Post/Triple threat moves, 4. Player icons, 5. Accurate player ratings, 6. Dynasty mode, 7. The number of shoes wow. The bad, 1. Player animations, 2. Half court shots are easy, 3. Airballed shots still go in?, 4. That weird auto-out of bounds pass in, 5. Graphics, 6. Only past NBA Live cover players really look like themselves (Kidd, KG, etc.). Overall solid game but I preffered NBA 2K3.
this was the last good nba live game before ea sports decided to not give a fuck about the live franchise and dropped 5 garbage ass live's in a row..that freestyle control was sick tho
Exactly!! It's BS that they keep complicating things..pisses me off. Look at the UFC games they didn't change much except for the fight stances and strategies. That's how the NBA games should be, just make lil changes at a time nevermind this analog bullshit to shoot free throws and crossovers..whatever I don't agree w/ EA sports anymore
i remember when i had this for xbox best live game ever the latest live can't beat the classic mad someone stole 03 from me in middle school till this day
hands down the greatest nba live games ever- volleyball kill blocks,rapid gameplay,cool lay-ups,sick facials,and bloopers on the bench. 2006 and beyond its only abut the graphics :(
lol this game was the shizniz if u got a good dunker and a good blocker and if u no the controls u were pretty much set. u couldnt stop the dunkers it was pretty much who could dunk more without getting blocked.
@Doknot1999 thats true for some games but definitly not for nba games some nba games maybe a year ot two before can be better but nothing over 5 years...in 00-05 they were so easy you could basically run through every one and just dunk every one had the same cross overs and moves and you basically had no control over shots just moving your character around
I really want this game for next year. I can tell that the PS2 version will be a lot better. Believe me, I've played the demo version of this and it is not good.
Remember skipping class on the reg to play this game, I blame it for my 2.8 GPA that semester to this day!!
