******LIVE BY THE NBA...DIE BY THE NBA*******

FOR MY REASEARCH I HAVE RENTED ALL OF THE XBOX NBA GAMES...THE TOP 2 DOMINATING TITLES BEING OF COURSE NBA LIVE'03 & NBA 2K3. NBA 2K3 IS DEFINITELY THE DIGITAL FORM OF THE REAL THING RIGHT DOWN TO PLAYERS MISSING KEY SHOTS OR LAYUPS FOR NO REASON. SEGA GAVE THIS GAME GREAT DETAIL WHICH COMMMANDS ANYONE'S RESPECT EVEN IF YOU HATE VIDEO GAMES. I UNDERSTAND THAT FROM PREVIOUS REVIEWS 2K3 IS KNOWN FOR BEING TOO SLOW. *********DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE*******..IF YOU ADJUST THE GAMEPLAY OPTION TO FAST THE SLOW ISSUE IS IRRELEVANT. PLUS 2K3 HAS A GREAT STREET BALL OPTIONS WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO PICK WHO YOU WANT ON YOUR SQUAD...NO LONGER DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE DO WITH THE PLAYERS THAT "NEED IMPROVEMENT" JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH THE SUPER STAR AT RUCKER PARK .....IF YOU ARE THE NBA BUT JUST DID NOT MAKE THE TEAM GO TO THE STORE NOW....AS FOR MYSELF I PURCHASED LIVE'03 BECAUSE 2K3 WAS JUST A LITTLE TOO REAL FOR ME ( I PERSONALLY LIKE ALL THE DUNKS).........BUT I HIGHLY SUGGEST RENTING BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE BECAUSE IN THE YEAR OF 2003, TO CHOSE EITHER LIVE'03 OR 2K3 REALLY COMES DOWN TO PERSONAL PREFERENCE.....THANK YOU
