As far as realistic basketball detail goes, there’s simply no beating NBA LIVE. This year’s model boasts 60-frames-per-second player animation (that’s good), more than 30 different rebound animations, and the best dribbling physics found anywhere. Each player has his own unique ball-handing style, and teams will run franchise-specific offenses and defenses. Of course all of the real NBA players, uniforms, courts, etc. are in here, and LIVE 2003 even has sideline coaches to bark out instructions to the players. Now this is the NBA.
