I have criticised as much as anyone the flaws in ID2003. The offensive rebounding and the fouls being the main one's.
However, that doesn't mean this game is not a simulation of the NBA. It is. It just happens to be a sim with a few flaws.
Real player traits, real team styles etc are what a simulation is all about. The player tendencies feature is as close as we have ever...and I mean EVER...come to a sim.
So, in light of the few criticism's of the game, I thought a thread highlighting your best moments would be appropriate. One where you post something that made you just stop and say "#### this game is amazing". Personally, I have had too many to list them all here...so I'll start with the one that really blew me away.
Playing as the T-Wolves against the Celtic's. Antoine Walker tried to post up, and I had Garnett guarding him close.
Tony Battie came across the lane and set a pick just behind Walker. Antoine Walker then ran to the corner baseline. I tried to follow him with KG, but Battie's pick blocked me. The Celtic's PG cut and passed it out to Walker...who hit a three from the corner.
I watched this back at least half a dozen times. That is exactly a play that the C's use...and I was blown away by how cool it was that, whoever programmed this thing, could know and get it 100% RIGHT. I have played every bball game released basically and none have ever been able to capture a moment like that, where a UNIQUE player...a PF who shoot's three's...could do this properly and have the right moves in the game.
Every other game I have played has the same AI for every team and position basically. I never thought a game could be created where real tendencies and real styles are actually in the game. Somehow they have done it. For me, it's best feature ever put into an NBA game. Play New York, Utah etc a 100 times in this game and you'll never see their PF cut to the baseline and shoot a three. Play the Celtic's and you can. F-ing unreal.
Everyone else's best moments would be cool. Especially as the team and player tendencies mean that we all don't get to see everything on offer. (ie I've read posts where guys have seen Carter specific moves or Shaq specific, but I've never used Toronto or LA so I only see them occasionally as an opponent)
