    Torn between basketball games

    this is the first time i am having trouble deciding which game to get. late 90s i got live. last year i got 2k2. but this year i really cant decide. it will probably be 2k3 but i just dont know.

    i have the same feeling about the college games. i cant decide if i want to get the same college and pro game or get one ea and one vc. it will be a tough decision. they are both sounding pretty good which is a good thing i guess.

    the last basketball game i ever had that kepy me coming back for more though was coach k. i am still looking for a basketball game up to par with the football games.

    Ya, this year is really tough. The competition is really heating up between the game makers.

    Here is what I think though. If you want a more realistic sim bball game, then go for 2k3. If you want a little more arcadey, but still a sim, then go for Live. As for the college ball games, I say whatever pro game you get, you should get the corresponding college game. The reason being is that you can draft from the college series into the pro series. For example, you can run your team in the NCAA College Basketball 2k3, get some mad stats with the players in there, after you win your championship, move that player(s) into NBA 2k3. Develop them in your franchise, and get an NBA championship with him. Same with the EA titles.

    Those are just my thoughts though. Everyone has their own poison. Personally, I'm going with 2k3, going to pick it up in a couple of hours. Good luck deciding.

      Looks like a battle of which sucks less. I've read very disturbing accounts of both.

        There needs to be a comparison thread or something.

            The main thing I hated about 2K last year was not being able to drive against the CPU, they would hold their arms out and create an invisible strength shield from letting you penetrate to the hoop which really got annoying. But Live last year sucked imo, it better be a completely different game than last year for me to pick it over 2K.

              i found it was easy to drive in 2k last year using the crossover anyway. i could take iverson, call isolation all day and score at will. they wouldnt even double me.

              and when you posted your center down low the power forward would come on the double team leaving your power forward open for the dunk way too often.

              the game also felt very robotic to me. i mean, i know it is a game, but they ran the same plays over and over again to the t. i only played the game for a few months but i am hoping this one is better.

                      well, after playing both on display for about 5 minutes each i ended up with 2k3.

                        I went with Live, because of the fact you can't do a multiplayer franchise in 2k3.
