    Debuting in this '03 renewal is the EA Sports "freestyle" control. Wihout question, it WILL change the way you play basketball games...forever. [Nov 2002, p.88]

    A complete game. It looks good and it plays great. A few AI drawbacks aside, this is hands down the best basketball simulation on the market.

    It's even more exciting because of the wonderfully implemented Freestyle controls.

    Score some points, hand over the ball and watch the opposition do the same: it gets quite monotonous and struggles to replicate the soaring, athletic ballet of its subject matter.

    Awesome game... But Bruce Bowen should have more than 75 in his ratings... But anyway great game if you are a B-Ball fan.

    There are some flaws with the player ratings and some actions that are too easy to do. But it is better than '06, '07 and '08. Though, it is a good game overall.… Expand

    It's confusing. A match ending 130-101 on 3rd period. Not much realistic gameplay. Too much speed.
