well, been waiting for live 2003 for quite sometimes, and generally, it is just a GAME. The gameplay is nice, but that's about it. EASPORTS doesnt touch up what we call the after game effect, such as pick the coolest move during the first half or second half. What lack in the game is the classic of 96/97/98 halftime dancers. EA should make it LIVE by putting those dancers at the background while going for interval.

those are my 2 cents out of the cost of the game.
I'm also starting to grow tired with the in-game animation, such as bench players playing with the camera, taking over the coach seat, etc. Of course, you can turn it off.
It doesnt feature a local network game, but u can still play it if you know the IP, using "Play Online".
I still havent find out how to maneuver the player using the Freestyle count. And no clue when i can use it.
With Live 2003, you can assign strategy play to a button, up to 4, such as 3 point play, low post, isolation, double team, full court press, zone....
