I think Lack of advertising is the answer. I mean, I have seen a lot of commercials for 2k4 and live so far, but if not for the internet I would have no idea about anything related to inside drive.
Also I agree with the lack of new features in the game. I mean, if you look at the advertising strategy with Live and 2k4, they're always hyping some new feature like 24/7 mode or free style control. Hyping an improved franchise mode isn't going to help all that much.
To respond to the other discussions in this thread. Personally I enjoy ID's graphics, but that is just my personal preference. I think the graphics and animations are much more smooth and natural looking than the robotic 2k4 series.
Having said all that I am definitely getting ID 2004, I picked up ID 2003 and it absolutely blew me away. Funnest gaming experience I've had for a while.

Where did you get the robotic thing from? People who've played the demo said it's not robotic at all. And inside drive's franchise needed to be improved it's boring and ugly, just like the players.

Well said Admiral. But now back to the discussion. While the graphics aren't ESPN calibur, they are lightyears ahead of NBA Live. So as far as graphics are concerned, it is 2nd. Gameplay wise, ID 2003 was the best playing game of the big 3. They have fixed a few of the problems from last year, being the line drive shots, and lack of dribble moves. I agree, they do need to use face scanning ala the other 2 games, but the graphics are unique and great. I can't wait for ID 04, but I will be purchasing the other two because just like neo, I want a gaming experience that is going to play "real" basketball, and live looks that it will do that this year. I will give ESPN a try as well, just because I buy all 3 every year, but Live is looking good. For the next installment, I think unless HV doesn't want the game to fade away, then they better start adding new features. Just my opinion...
