I am grateful for the retros, but the number fonts are fake, particularly the Nuggets and the Magic. The current Magic jersey also has the wrong number font.
They also have the wrong colour on the front number of the Nuggets Rainbow City jerseys. The numbers on the back are blue, which they did right, but the numbers on the front are supposed yellow... and they also made them blue.
It doesn't seem that unreasonable an explanation; unless we know all the specifics of the art files in the current games compared to NBA Live 2003 PC and the situation with the font and whatnot, we can't really speak with authority. At the end of the day, it doesn't really strike me as a gamebreaker. Same goes for my gripe about the use of the metric system in the PAL version; if that's one of my biggest gripes after I get my hands on the full version, it won't be doing too badly.
