    Xbox vs. Ps2- The story of two different games

    Up until today, I had been playing 2k3 on my playstation. While I love the game, I was dissapointed in the graphics and sound. To me, it just didn't feel right.

    After hearing time and time again about how 2k3 had such great graphics, I thought that I must have had the wrong version of the game.

    After a lot of thought, I went to buy an Xbox today along with a copy of WSB. "Holy Cow" is all I can say.

    1. The textures on the xbox are far superior to those of the ps2. It makes you wonder how they can both be the same generation console.

    2. Moves much more smoothly. Not only is it easier on the eyes, but I can actually read pitches better! With my ps2 version, I would have trouble picking the ball up right away off the pitchers hand. Now, I see it more clearly then I ever imagined. I now realize how people can use such small cursors, when they have the xbox version.

    3. Sound is the big difference for me. With my surround sound system, I can now totally take advantage of this game. The crowd is amazing and I feel like I'm at the ballpark. Not to mention, I can actually hear the crack of the bat.

    I can't tell you what a difference there is.

        I use the ps2 version and very small cursor. However I have seen the XBox version and I have played the XBox version and I can say that you are correct on most points. The X version looks FAR superior. It has incredibly better lighting and textures on the fields and players. The bat sound is much louder on the XBox as well.

        Even after playing the XBox version though, the ps2 version suits me fine.

            Of course...note how I still say that I loved the game on the ps2.

            About the xbox...still gotta get used to the placement of the analog pad on the controller. It's a little high for me, but I'm sure I'll adapt. Anyone else find it took some getting used to?

                You are correct the graphics and sound/surroundsound on xbox are awesome feels like you are at the game adds to the whole atmospher of the game it just plays looks and sounds better. But i do still think that wsb2k3 is still the best b-ball game for the ps2 and xbox of course.

                    If you have both systems why would you even consider getting it on the ps2?
