Furthermore, you have different moves available depending on the situation. And when we say dozens of moves, we're talking about four versions of the crossover, three kinds of spin moves and all kinds of hesitation dribbles that can be performed with either hand. Freestyle control is revolutionary in that it allows the player with the ball to pull off a variety of offensive moves in the blink of an eye and that you determine the direction and variation of the move.

But the satisfaction comes from knowing that even when you're throwing down impossible reverse alley oops from behind the backboard you're still within the rules and conventions of the actual NBA. The arcade fun comes from the exaggerated speed of the game and dozens of new moves you can pull of with players using the right analog stick. Live 2003's attention to NBA details, rules, and style of play however is completely legitimate, while still giving players the freedom to repeatedly create exciting highlight-worthy plays that would keep the crowds cheering and coaches stressed out. Nine times out of ten, gamers are treated to schizophrenic sports titles that try and force-feed us over-the-top antics into an obvious basketball sim with rules and dimensions that piss off fans from both genres. Gameplay The most interesting aspect of NBA Live 2003 is that it somehow brings arcade and simulation elements together to coexist peacefully in one game. Improved in just about every category, and using an all-new right stick manipulation that will never let you go back, Live 2003 is very much the revolution that the marketing types have been yammering about. Succeeding because the developers finally found the proper balance between the exciting and entertaining parts of NBA basketball while retaining all of the rules and realism you'd expect from an all out NBA simulation, NBA Live 2003 is one of the biggest turnarounds we've ever seen.

#FABOLOUS NBA LIVE 2003 PLUS#
I'm the crowd favorite and I believe the fans love the way I finger roll it with either hand my handles pull it through presses plus I can play the lane and block shots like bulletproof vestes I often be found in the paint waiting for I miss so I can slam it back off the rebound then I show off with class look the other way when I throw off a pass call it when I go off the glass hope ya'll play better "D" or I'ma keep scoring until the coach hold his hands like the letter "T" When I put pressure on the ball they be feeling on lock remind 'em of a jewel theif when I be stealing the rock shorty over the summer you might have boosted an inch but if you ain't ballin like me get used to the bench and everybody know I does my thing and play hard 'til the buzzer ring, yeah I said Who gon' stop me when I'm in the lane?
