NBA 2K3

Background

Imagine jump shots where players actually adjust their movement in mid-air based on distance from the hoop and defensive pressure; a passing touch that gives you the control to skirt a defender or start a fast break; a dribble moves that let you jab left, rock right, crossover, spin, and much more. All of it will be yours in NBA 2K3, along with an all-new Franchise mode, improved low post and passing games, an advanced animation system, and online play on the PS2 and Xbox.

Gameplay

Imagine jump shots so real players actually adjust their movements in mid-air based on distance from the hoop and defensive pressure; a passing touch that gives you the control to skirt a defender or start a fast break; and dribble moves that let you jab left, rock right, crossover, spin, and much more. It's all happening on Offense in NBA 2K3. No other game delivers the physical element of basketball like this. Accurate impact from collisions, especially hard fouls and authoritative dunks; shot blocking with emphasis on precise hand-to-ball contact; and the ability to lunge for the loose ball, even if it means ending up on some celebrity's lap.
