    Nice work

    Some of it souds good. Some of it sounds like rhetoric. Hard to tell if the small mention to sound means improved atmosphere?

    So far anyway, sounds like a lot of their effort is going into online play. For me, I don't care about that. Just give me a sim.



    NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal will grace the cover of NBA Inside Drive 2004, the exclusive Xbox basketball title from Microsoft Game Studios and a featured game in the XSN Sports brand.

    NBA Inside Drive, with its fluid gameplay and lifelike player models (decked out in tattoos and cornrows), is taking its game online with the help of Xbox Live. Utilizing revolutionary new Web-based technology exclusive to XSN Sports, basketball gamers and sports fans can easily organize teams, leagues, and schedules from a centralized Web site, XSNsports.com, which pulls the information from Xbox Live. New "jukes" and post moves will be "breaking ankles" all over the court, and a revamped defensive game will be shutting down high-scoring teams and making them run home to their mamas.

    With thumpin' hip-hop beats, online play, and innovative commentary, NBA Inside Drive 2004 has the best on-court and online competition.

          that sounds okay but i don`t want to be "closer to the action" i want a wide veriety of camera angles. what they need to do is incorporate the "CLASSIC" nba live camera angle into this game and make it it zoomable and unzoomable! to get the most out of this game, or really any basketball game, you need a camera angle where you can see the whole half court at all times.

          the low post game could use some improvements and so can the one on one moves so this a welcome addition, but i really hope they don`t go the arcade route with this "new and improved" post game.

          online play is also a much needed option for this game. i`ve basicly quit playing 2k3 online cuz it`s just too arcadish when you play it online... hopefully ID `04 will be better?

          only thing they need to work on now are the graphics.

              Everything sounds great except for ...."The Players: The already lifelike player models in Inside Drive now have characteristics that are even more realistic, including headbands, tattoos, and hairstyles".....
              Sounds like graphic upgrades to the player models are a no-go this year.
