Was there any comment on whether NBA-LIVE 2003 cyberfaces will be compatible for NBA-LIVE 2004?

No, but if the past is anything to go by, patches for NBA Live 2003 will not work with NBA Live 2004. I'd say it will be possible to convert patches for use with NBA Live 2004 though.

Nothing is confirmed yet...and we won't really know for sure until the demo/game is released or when Andrew does his annual interview with Tim 
.
Here is what I think:
Everything I've said is speculation...until NBA Live 2004 is released and it's proven true

Here is what I think:
- -I suspect that the face textures (graphics) will be the same for NBA 2004 as they were for NBA Live 2003...which in turn were very similar to NBA Live 2001...
-EA might start using the hi-res 512x512 pixel images for the cyberfaces again like they used for NBA Live 2001...since they will almost definitely be using 2 CD's for game installation. I believe they only dropped the hi-res images for NBA Live 2003 to make room on the NBA Live 2003 CD for other features/graphics.
-They are probably using the same technology for the headshapes that they are now using for FIFA, MVP Baseball, and the NHL series. This means that the headshapes for NBA Live 2003 will not work for NBA Live 2004 but this also means that we will be able to edit them using O-Edit.
