What resolution should I use that will work the best?
Right now I'm using the default one and it works perfect but I was just wondering if I should choose a resolution close to the one that im using for my monitor.

I use 640x480 on my 15" monitor, mainly because my ATI Rage 128 chip is too slow at any other res. Works great, except the camera autozooming in the baseline low camera sometimes makes the ball go off screen when I lose it.

Set the resolution as high as you can without serious noticible reduction in frame rate.

I'm using 800X600 right now on my monitor(848x480 is too small for me too see) so what resolution do you think I should use in NBA Live 2003? I am using the default one now

Resolution does not affect size in the game. It affects how sharp the graphics are. Put it as high as you can while maintaining a reasonable framerate. Size will not be effected. Monitor size only needs to be taken into account with resolution in Windows, because it changes desktop and text size. In games, resolution only changes how sharp the graphics are, pixels in each texture, etc.

It may in some games, but when I changed the resolution (in the NBA Live 2003 demo before I got the full game) it showed more on the screen (800x600 vs. 640x480). The players were smaller, and more of the court was visible. I don't know if this has changed or if I'm not remembering correctly, but that's how I recall it was.

Sure you didn't change the zoom, or the zoom wasn't changed automatically? Otherwise, maybe the sharper textures just made them appear smaller. The only size changes in (a vast majority of) games b/c of resolution would only be in the front end, not in game.

It could have been...it probably changed the zoom automatically for the higher resolution and I didn't notice, like you said.

certain thing will become smaller. the items that are a given number of pixels in size, i.e. the pause menu, will change size.

Yes, but not the graphics.

I put it 800x600x32 and the menu got a lot smaller. The graphics looked diffrent. smoother I think. I think everything except the players and stuff gets smaller.I like the default resolution better I think.
But now i think the graphics sharpen with the resolution change.

1024x768x32 for me and everything looks sweet!
No problems in the menu either. When you select your resolution it only affects the actual ingame play not the menu screens.

You're right Sonic. I hate that EA always wants their menues to be in 640*480mode. This is far to small if you want to trade players because you only see 3 players at once and have to scroll down to see your other players!

I am playing at 1280x1024. But when i press the pause button, the display of the menu is screenwide. When I change to 800x600 ingame res the menu is pretty small .. kinda weird ...
