NBA Inside Drive 2003
Overall: Sega 2k's games are always my number one pick for 3 consecutive years, until I've played MSID3 which exhibits superb graphics and fluid player movements. Although, 2k3 has a lot more features, I personally find the gameplay of ID3 more fun to play especially with its franchise mode.
Gameplay: The gameplay is so realistic and exciting. But, what I really like about this game is that you are placed in the driver's seat, giving you full control of the kind of gameplay you like or whatever may soothe you. You can set up the tendecies of the user and/or cpu players; like for example you can setup the cpu players and give them the tendency to dunk the ball like a wild animal or they could torture you by sinking some 3-point shots. When ever you feel the game becomes easier for you, you can always adjust the AI to play smarter agaisnt you. In other words, there are a lot of possibilities to make the game play more challenging and exciting in a very progressive way.
Graphics: Players look like their human counter part and the movements of the players are so fluid, unlike in 2k's basketball games, the motion of the players is kind of awkward, like robots. The movements of players in MSID3, very realistic, except for one thing-The big players (7-footer) should never shoot the ball like a jump shot when they are like 2-3 feet away from the basket even if they're in front of a guarding player;they should always have the ability to dunk the ball or execute a finger roll, not only when they cut loose.
Audio: The commentary is excellent; funny, got sense of humor, and insulting at times, which atleast gives you a down to earth real life experience.
Suggestions: Generally, I like every feature of MSID3, except for the Create-Player-Mode. (I like Sega 2k- create player better). Please use John Doe models with more distinctive eye shapes, like round, fierceful, droop, slit, angelic, etc. and introduce the use of slider to modify size of vital parts, like the nose, chin, head, ears, neck, chest, waist, biceps, arm, forearm, thigh, etc. Make it possible for gamers to create a thin, fat flabby, or muscular player. Add more hair styles, like the 70's long shaggy hair or with maybe with a pig tail.
In this manner, it will give the gamers more power and freedom to create the persons/players as close as possible to their own looks. Thank you..
PS. How about seeing the CLASSIC PLAYERS and CREATE-A-TEAM (w/uniforms) MODE for MS Inside Drive 2004?!?!
