The advantages and disadvantages of NBA Live 2003

[ningtong88]

First of all, I have to mention that my English is not very well.
I only played one game, so some of my comments may be wrong.


Advantages:
The graphic is much better.
The commentary is great.
Some classic jerseys.
You can make a player wear bands or sleeves.
Great dunk animations.
Free Style control(The Best!!!!)
Practice mode(Only can priactice shooting and freestyle, no free throw)
Signature shoes(not for everyone, though).
The newest rosters(this is much better than PS2 and XBOX verisons)
More floor talking during the game(when the shot clock's time runs out, you can hear like: "watch the clock." )
Easy to make shot.
In the menu, you can choose what song you want to listen.
.....
Disadvantages:
Like the most said, the game is so fast, the block is so strong, and the steal is so much.

You have substitute the players by yourself. In the last game I played, the cpu has never substituted any player, unless some one is in foul trouble.(The biggest problem)

Before game, it doesn't introduce the starting lineups, just like the demo.
After you substitute(if you make a big change), your center is gonna guard the opponent's point guard.

It is so hard for you guard on a person, I means they run so fast.

The menu is not as good as the previous verions, too complicate for me.

...

Anyway, I love this game, I wish that substitutate player problem does not exist.

just make sure u have fatigue on, to CPU make cahnges for yerself choose auto-subs
at starter level is kool regarding stats but too easy to beat, then on all-star CPU will hit every jumper.
I can defend guys in starter, hard yeah, fun yeah If u cant keep up with a perimeter player try post guys, easier to defend.
Steals r sumthing it will depend on yer gamestyle, finished one game with only 6 CPU steals (5min qrtrs)
Blocks r too much I agree same for menu.

only thing i just cant take from all that is the crazy shooting, 2k still the best NBA live i played so far

for autosubs, while in game (haven't found a way to this outside of the game, but really haven't checked), go to strategies, global (i think, its the last of the 4) and turn on auto subs and sub notification. and as gaucho said, turn on fatigue

[Mitch]

same here..some blocks look too exagerated.
As the guys have said, turn on the fatigue and if you want autosub, you have to set it yourself.

although there are a lot that are not in the game (custom teams, trade of picks, etc) its still a good game, upgrading from 2001.

You forgot the number 1 advantage:

We got a NBA Live 2003 PC!

the game is great and I'm having a lot of fun getting Offensive rebounds, sometimes I wanna miss my shot just so I can attempt an Offensive rebound.
