Improved gameplay and Dynasty Mode. Updating NBA Live 2003 just allows for something new while we wait for NBA Live 2004.

What I find really annoying is that player progress is generated at the beginning (!) of the season.

Don't know if you guys knew about it, but no matter if you win the play-offs or don't even qualify to them - your players will do the same.

I did a test with my Bulls. 7 games till the end of regular season. First I simulated it till the end. I didn't qualify for the play-off stage. Some of my players get better, and some not. But when I played this season playing each and every game in the schedule I ended in the conference final. This didn't have any effect on my players' progress. They did the same.

This is like the biggest bug I have encountered in the game. It really dissapointed me.
