3.0 out of 5 stars EA has gone arcade crazy with NBA Live 2003!, November 18, 2002
By Manuel A. Calcagno (College Point, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
EA has gone arcade crazy with NBA Live 2003!
There are far too many dunks, blocks, steals and fast breaks!
The AI is totally unrealistic! Everyone seems to be flying around like Vince Carter, dunking on almost every possession!

This is more like a highlight reel or commercial than a game and it certainly is not a simulation anymore!

NBA Live has turned into Triple Play Baseball!

The entire game seems to revolve around never-ending dunks and animations. People that never dunk or block shots are doing it repeatedly! This looks more like NBA Jam than NBA Live. This is all on so called, exhibition mode. I suppose that on arcade, everyone fly's around non-stop like superman!

PC users had to wait two years for EA to turn a simulation into a slam-dunk contest!

I think the programmers at EASports need to cut down on their sugar intake!

The graphics are pretty good but the coaches look very weird especially Byron Scott of the Nets.

Again, too many dunks, blocks, steals, fast breaks and repetitive animations and no real AI and no realism!

When a 6-foot guards block 7-foot centers, that is really totally out of touch with reality.

It's fun if you like a too fast-exaggerated arcade game but forget about it as a simulation.

Since I want realistic AI in a simulation that reflects reality on planet earth, I am very disappointed!

Manuel Calcagno

5.0 out of 5 stars A Major Improvement, October 23, 2002
By RLD "rd1241" (Scottsdale, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NBA Live 2003 (Video Game)
For basketball game fans, NBA Live had been a powerhouse for many years. Since around 1999 though, the series has seemed to drop off a lot in quality and in gameplay. The series' translastion into the new age systems (PS2, GC, XB) has been somewhat of a disappointment to say the least. I have been looking for a great basketball game for some time and I think I finally have it in NBA Live 2003. The graphics and the gameplay are major improvements over previous versions. Everything flows very well and the graphics are smooth and detailed. You can even see the crease in the backs of heads of players who sport shaved cuts! Playing is a lot of fun. The only problem is that the first few skill levels are too easy and that it seems the computer cannot miss at the end of games. Other than that, the action is terrific.

The menus are also a major upgrade and are easy to navigate. Franchise mode is available and there are many features and stats to check out, from player contracts to fantasy drafts to the lottery, it is all there.

If you enjoyed past NBA Live games for the new systems, you will love this game. It has been updated and redesigned. A lot of work was put into 2003 and it shows. If you are more of a fan of the NBA2K series, this game boasts many of the same features while offering better gameplay (in my opinion). Buy this game; you won't be disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another step backwards, November 21, 2002
By Travis Edward Hooker (Greenbank, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
Live 2000 was one of the best basketball games out there when it came out back in the day. 2001 was delayed for a long time and then when it finally arrived, it was extremely disappointing. 2002 was skipped completely for the PC and now its back for 2003. The graphics are awesome, by far the best the series has ever seen. It is the gameplay that is the problem. First problem I had was the fact that you cant configure all of your controls. You can map a key for a certain offensive move, say to shoot, but then there is a corresponding defensive move that is automatically mapped to that key as well, that cannot be changed w/o changing the offensive mapping. Basically you can only configure half of your controls and the rest you have to live with.
2nd main problem is the cameras. None of the cameras give a very good view of the whole floor during play and your perspective is always skewed in some fashion. Usually in the depth perception department.
3rd and most obvious is the ridiculous pace of the game. Its nothing but an all out dunkfest. Run off a few of the spin dribbles until you're within 15 feet of the basket and your man will go airborne for the slam or the layup. Dont get me wrong, this is really fun...for about 2 games. The true ballers will get bored very quickly and will be left yearning for some realism.
They added coaches on the sidelines which was totally worthless and most of the cut scenes are pretty corny as well.
The computer AI is much improved on the opposing teams as they now execute fast breaks, double teams etc. but your computer teammates refuse to play any defense besides occasionally sending a block all the way down to the other end of the floor. Emphasis on occasionally.
The franchise mode is still relatively solid and the soundtrack is pretty tight but the frustration of having to learn the buttons that are configured for you and the lack of help from your computer teammates is all in all agonizingly frustrating.
Im a big Live fan but my patience has all but run out. The focus of the game has unfortunately become focused on the "bells and whistles". (anyone remember 3 team trades in Live2001? That worked real well didnt it? At least they left it out this time) My opinion is don't buy it. The graphics are pretty but the gameplay is high on frustration and low on fun and realism. Maybe once the price is down around [$$$] it'll be worth it for some temporary entertainment, but even that may be pushing it a bit.
