nba live 2004 vs 2003

[nbalive2003]

Hi I bought PC game Nba live 2003 last year. I would like advice from live 2004 user whether there are improvement in the following areas from 2003 to 2004 :

#1 In term of "Swish" sound and animation of the basketball net, they did a very poor job in Nba live 2003 . Also when players dunk, it's like players dunking a rock in a garbage bin (I am serious!) It's so bad that it's almost unacceptable. If you remember the game play in Nba live 2001, the way players elevate their bodies and shoot and the way the net animates are very good and natural .

#2 Too many fast break points from CPU opponent.

Please let me know . Thx

NBA Live 2004 is, IMHO, incredibly improved over 2003. I'm sure you will hear the same from most people. Everything is just so much... better, the gameplay is much more realistic. They have improved the sounds I think (except it still whooshes when you dunk), graphics are improved (especially now with the headshape editor ) and gameplay is incredibly better. It even runs a whole lot better than 03, allowing way more fps. Go for it, I say!

I too rank NBA Live 2004 above NBA Live 2003. NBA Live 2003's sim engine is a little better as it uses Dstats, but in terms of gameplay and overall experience, NBA Live 2004 is superior (in my humble opinion. ).
