Product Description

From the Manufacturer

NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal graces the cover of NBA Inside Drive 2004, the exclusive Xbox basketball title from Microsoft Game Studios and a featured game in the XSN Sports brand.

NBA Inside Drive, with its fluid gameplay and life-like player models (decked out in tattoos and cornrows), is taking its game online with the help of Xbox Live. Utilizing revolutionary new Web-based technology exclusive to XSN Sports, basketball gamers and sports fans can easily organize teams, leagues, and schedules from a centralized Web site, XSNsports.com, which pulls the information from Xbox Live. New "jukes" and post moves will be "breaking ankles" all over the court, and a revamped defensive game will be shutting down high-scoring teams and making them run home to their mamas.

With thumpin' hip-hop beats, online play, and innovative commentary, NBA Inside Drive 2004 has the best on-court and online competition.

Revamped A.I.

For gamers who prefer more of a team effort, NBA Inside Drive 2004 features an improved passing scheme, to let them control the pace of the game and create their own "give and gos."

Defensive adjustments: The defense will be bolstered by revolutionary defensive controls that deliver a new level of intensity to stealing and blocking and allow gamers to play their own style of hoops.

Features:

This game is all around great,except for a couple of flaws.
I't should have a better trade option,rookies should have been rated a little higher,speed should have been a little faster. Over all this game is graphicaly the best.Also player contact is always a plus and the post moves are awesome.NOW WE NEED NCAA INSIDE DRIVE!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!, February 4, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: NBA Inside Drive 2004 (Video Game)

If you liked NBA Inside Drive 2003, then you will love this one because it is the same thing just revamped and with a lot of new things and options. Get this game if you are a fan of the Inside Drive series, you have nothing to worry about!!!! Although the only thing that pisses me off is that you can't get young Michael Jordan in secret players and i dont know who the secret players are because i can find the codes for them!!!!! SO IT'S A GREAT GAME, JUST GET IT IF YOU LOVE INSIDE DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S THE BEST NBA GAME OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!
