Re: Our NBA 2K3 Review
Excellent review!!
I think Jim summed it up the best:
It all boils down to personal preference in this multi-horse basketball gaming race. If you’re into a lightning fast game play that result in frenzied dunkfests then this game may not be for you. This game does the overall best job at encapsulating the environment of the real NBA and wraps it up into a neat little package. NBA 2K3 is the best simulation of videogame basketball bar none.
Couldn't have ended this review any better. Great job guys!!

Re: Our NBA 2K3 Review
Very nice review. I wish you had touched on a couple of other things though.
1. Street mode- no one talks about this. I think it's much improved over last year. There are weather options, more courts including some inside gyms and the scoring system is dead on. Never see a video game get this right. Interestingly enough the gameplay is very different too and is a much loser game that's just about fun. Last year I thought it was pointless, just outdoor bball, but this year it's great.
2. single vs multiplayer- there have been many discussion here about how single player has become too easy and other discussions about how Live is the ultimate multiplayer game while 2k3 isn't fun. Of course that's opinion but considering it would've been nice to get your takes on this.
3. new practice scrimmage mode- they allow you to learn the plays which can be pretty important and wasn't in last year's game.
Great review as is though. As always, you guys are very thorough. I just want to make sure you know longer is better if it's worth the read so don't change.

it was in last year's game...I am glad I got the Buell- I love riding it, I love the oddball looks I get on the road- I love people asking "What IS that thing?" I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...Comment

Re: Our NBA 2K3 Review
Great review...I agree with them 110%
This is the best site for reviews. You guys actually play the game extensively and review it with a fine toothed comb.
Unlike other sites, when you read there reviews it's like they didn't even play the game.
I remember one site gave NBA Live 2001 (PS2) a score of 98/100. And actually inducted the game into there "sports gaming" hall of fame.

Re: Our NBA 2K3 Review
Man thats nothing, another reviewer for Live 2003 said Marv Albert gets repetitive after a while. Damn, did he even play the game.
But you guys review was perfect. I t made some good points.
I agree with Minsta, you do have the best damn reviews for sport games, period.http://neverfollow.biz (Independent Music Group)Comment

Re: Our NBA 2K3 Review
Lol, at graphix's comment about marv albert and what they said. LOL.
It goes to show us, how biased some reviewers can be, by not even touching a game to try it out and talking trash about it.Comment

Re: Our NBA 2K3 Review
whazzup, unless i'm a complete moron (very possible) they didn't have the scrimmage option in last year's game where you could run the plays.
but don't forget the very possible part.Comment

Re: Our NBA 2K3 Review
Sorry wwharton. Now we have something in common.
Hey Steve great review but I have a question.
If VC comes to OS to check out what the people want do they check out the forums, the reviews or both?
And does EA also come here for feedback?
