OS ID 2003 review

This is one place where it got a good score and nba2k3 still got a better score then it.

Different reviewers. Why do you even post here? You're not going to get it, so why do you try to stir up trouble?

I read the gameinformer review. They never even liked ID before, and claimed it had more standing around than any other game

, so I'll take their review for what it is: BS.

Re: More dumb *** reviewers pretending that they know Basketball

Jmood88, I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that you have never played ID. If you have and still dont like it, well then, you dont know basketball.
I reminds me of back in the day when Front Page Sports Football was around. All the Maddenites hated it because it wasnt as pretty as Madden. What they failed to realize was that it was the most realistic recreation of the sport.
I really could care less what the uneducated think, unfortunatly, the uneducated and naive outnumber the rest of us. All companies look at the bottom line and start go for the lowest common denominator. So I enjoy the realistic gameplay while I can, and wait and dread the day when Microsoft decides to dumb it down for the masses.

yeah, most of the reviews for ID 2003 were utter crap. most of them just said the game was the same as last year. and i was like.. "you`ve got to be kidding me!"

i think last years NBA live 2003 has ruined basketball games, PERIOD! BB games are going to get less and less realistic because of live`s success. the easily subdued masses will just fall for the hype of arcadish "freestyle" gameplay and gamers that prefer a basketball sim will just have to suffer and play ID, which is not a bad thing but it would be nice to see games like ID on top!

it SUCKS that freestyle was introduced to the sports gaming world! instead of playing an actual game of basketball players are now hypnotically sucked into the jive *** streetball style of nba live. all we can do is hope that EA stops ruining basketball games and decides to make a sim but until people stop buying it, i doubt they will. and all of this is reflected in most of the basketball reviews that we see on the net. its a shame really.

<hr /></blockquote>

"you`ve got to be kidding me!" is exactly what I thought when I read your post! While I won't defend Live 2003 EVER (b/c I thought it sucked royally), Freestyle was complete innovation. That's like someone making a claim being able to control where you stiff arm, spin, and juke would make Football VG's more arcade-like.

Damn man... if you honestly think that....

WOW....

Gotta agree with KillRoy so far I really don't think freestyle has brought more realism to the table as of yet. I do think it was inovative but just not realistic yet.

No disrespect, but you RUN an ID site... and haven't played it?????????

That's insane.

Are you paid to do so? If so...your opinions not worth much IMO.

I love the game...but you need to play it to have a freaking opinion

You are joking , right?

I had people who had played it help me out, and I HAD and still do PLAY ID 2003. I just dont own it

I misspoke, I should of said, "I cant wait to own ID 2004"
