Sega brought NBA 2K2 to the next-gen console dance a little late last season. Having a late jump thanks to the death of the Dreamcast, 2K2 couldn't be anything more than a rushed port. A solid game for sure, but one that perhaps didn't get to fully utilize the power of the newer consoles. That's not the case as we head into the new NBA season. This is the first Visual Concepts basketball game specifically made for next-gen consoles.
Having been top bball dog for the past few years, VC could have sat on their duffs and just updated the rosters. Instead, they worked to make the game even more realistic with several new moves, a beefed up Franchise Mode, and full use of their newly acquired ESPN-style presentation. Though Sega's baller still has some nagging problems, it's certainly improved over last season's version.
Features
NBA 2K3 is the game to get if you want as realistic an NBA experience as possible. This is by far the best basketball sim out there. However, if you are looking for an experience closer to old-school bball games like NBA Jams, then you don't want to go here. There are other solid basketball games that offer a more arcade experience. There's nothing wrong with any of those games, but none of them manage the intelligent AI, the amazingly realistic graphics, or as real a hoops experience as NBA 2K3.
Yes, there are nagging problems and I think next year the flow of gameplay needs to be addressed, but this is about as good as basketball games get. The Franchise Mode is improved and will be even better once NCAA College Basketball 2K3 is out and the senior class can be imported into the draft.
NBA 2K3 emphasizes the half-court game and keeps fast breaks to a minimum. Like other games in Sega's 2K3 series, NBA 2K3 features the new ESPN interface and an enhanced franchise mode.
Apr 30, 2024 · NBA 2K3 is a game released on October 7, 2002 for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. It was published by Sega and developed by Visual Concepts. Again, like the previous games, retired star Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers is the cover athlete.
