basketball

I cannot believe that this game is so awful, even after EA Sports decided to scrap the 2002 version. I had been a huge fan of EA Sports games because of their "close to reality" gameplay. Live 2003 is nothing but another version of NBA 2K3... the king of arcade games. I enjoy the fun aspect of the game, but not to where FG% is over 80% constantly. The AI is so awful and you can't adjust it like in Madden 2003 (can't the developers share some secrets?). The graphics is awesome, the soundtrack is platinum-quality. But too bad I can't even play 8-minute quarter without scoring less than 100 points and shooting over 80%. RIDICULOUS!!

Very good game from all aspects except for few non major ones. It is not very realistic so we can't really call it a simulation. What annoys me the most is those impossible scoring runs by the computer. During such stretches the computer will always steal the ball from you, and make impossible shots in succession at the other end. Thus, at higher levels of difficulty, no matter how big of a lead you might have the computer will make a run and catch up. Frequent dunks do not bother me. I like that actually, but what I don't like is easy shot blocking. Every player can average 5 or 6 blocked shots per game. There is a bug regarding the player trade - you cannot initiate it. You can only choose to accept or reject CPU initiated trades. Great feature of the game is option to create and customize your own character. Every basketball fan dreams of playing in the NBA. I recommend playing the Franchise Mode over a long period of time, and not too frequently. Players evolve from season to season. Some players' skills are improved at the start of a new season, while others are deteriorated. I am in my third season with Houston Rockets now. My legs are a bit weaker, and my dunks are not that spectacular any more.
