    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]

    For pick-up-and-play fun, NBA Live 2003 simply can not be beat.

    It retains enough simulation-style elements to appease those craving a realistic game, thus giving NBA Live 2003 a much broader appeal than its direct competitor, "NBA 2K3."

    Live 2003’s identity crisis and average-at-best graphics are inexcusable. It belongs next to “ShootOut 2003” in the rental bin while “NBA 2K3” spins happily ever after.

    This game is fun but it is in no way realistic i mean getting 12 blocks in a game every game with 4 minute quarters is just gay. Players don't even look like they should. Shaq has skinny legs for goodness sakes. EA has the lockdown on football games but Sega deff. has the edge when it comes to basketball.… Expand
