Its very easy to dunk. Almost too easy actually. You cant really expect every guy to dunk it every single time though.

If you're talking about a guy who is 4-5 feet away from the basket just shooting it, well, its been like that since NBA Live 94. Its MUCH better in NBA2k3 though, I see that happen once, twice max. Also, dont try to dunk so far away..when Im running a fast break I try to press the shoot button as close as possible to the rim. Its all about timing.

And about the game speed. If its really too "slow" for you why not jack up the speed to fast? Its just like last years game and NBA Live 2003 on the fast setting. At first I thought it was slow also, but watch an NBA game. Players dont run at turbo speeds constantly in the NBA, and 2k3 is a perfect representation of that. I can even call plays! ...and they work!

I will have to give the game another try I have been playing a Live season and it always messes me up becouse the buttons are not the same. EEEEERRRRRRRR!

No I didn't alter Amare ratings at all. He's pretty terrible from outside, occanasionally hits a J but is better then avg in the post. I run alot of plays for him. I find it hard sometimes to dunk in traffic. Often ur guy instead of going towards the basket will pivot away for a wild hook shot... Jake seems to do this alot with me, I think it's more the buttons I push. still adjusting.

One other thing I gotta problem with. the Standings. what the hell happened. Just wins and losses. And it's sorted with wins not percentage.

ah well. can't have it all. The game rules.

I downloaded a roster update with Xbox Live and Amare's ratings have been adjusted and his overall starting rating is a 76.

Can it be?

Im really disappointed by the franchise mode in NBA2k3.

You cannot play the mode with more than one team???

I mean, I wanted to play with two friends of mine. Me coaching the Suns, them coaching the Spurs/ Wizards.

But then the team select screen: One team only?!?!

Too bad!

Yep that is why I also bought NBA Live (even though it had Kidd on the BOX

)

Me and two other friends each picked a team and drafted are teams from scratch... I am the Suns and won the championship last year and am tied with for the best record so far in the second season...

Last years line-up
A. Miller (left last year for another team

)
V.Carter
S.Marion
Dirk
Yao
Bench
Amare (ROY last season)
JJ (Now Starting at PG)
Q. Rich (Sucks)
E.Griffen(Sucks)
D. Dikau(Doesn't Play)
J.Voskul
P.Grant (This years ROY so far)
J. Jefferies (doesn't Play)

Thinking of a mid-season trade for Marbury

I cant stand NBA Live. 65% shooting every game annoys me.

Is that too low? I know I shoot about 80% every game in NBA 2k3 and it annoys me. It forces you to miss easy dunks sometimes.

Do you play on the Superstar?? (Highest Level) I am shooting around 65% but the computer shoots 73-78% when I play them?

JS22 · Apr 17, 2003

80%? Adjust the sliders and play on all-star. Good luck even shooting 50%! I posted the sliders that I play on earlier in this thread and they're pretty challenging. NBA2k3 seemed pretty easy until I adjusted the sliders...now its a nice challenge. (as long as you dont have a super-star team.)

jbeecham · Apr 17, 2003

I like winning games 120-38

with 110 of those points coming in the paint and the other 10 from the free throw line. I play 6 minute quarters.

JS22 · Apr 17, 2003

LOL. I play 12 minutes quarters. Jack up the sliders to the point where my offense SUCKS unless I actually run plays and set screens. Its a challenge..but fun.

12 minutes quarters WOW that is way to much time for a game. I play 7- 8 minutes just so I can get my bench in the game also.

JS22 · Apr 17, 2003

Not too long if you play realistically. The way my sliders are its literally impossible to drive it every single time. And my points in the paint are always around 45-50% my total points. Still slightly high, but not too bad. Amare gets most of those anyways.

If I take it to the rim every time its almost always a charge. The defense is just too smart. Also, I shoot about 20 free throws a game, so does the other team.

Its tough, but fun.

PS: I just made the playoffs in year one with the Suns. (As the 8th seed) I get to face the lakers in round one! ..AND Big Jake is HURT. I dont know who to throw at Shaq. Thinking about starting Googs just for his offense. Make O'neal guard him on the outside. Defensively though he will get killed.

...Realisitic.

7footer · Apr 17, 2003

is there a way

to update the suns team so it reflects the real stats this year for the players ie Amare???

do you have to get the XBOX live version or something like that?

SweetD · Apr 17, 2003

Not to sure only have a PS2

SweetD · Apr 17, 2003

Anyone want to buy my copy of NBA 2k3 for PS2. I also have 2k2 I will sell for $10.00 ???

Chaplin · May 6, 2003

Man, I don't know about those rating updates Wasted... I beat Cleveland by like 20 points--something like 85-65, but then the next game the Dallas Mavericks beat me by 30 while shooting something like 65 percent from the floor. The whole second half, nobody made any 15 foot jumpshots--wide open no less...

JS22 · May 6, 2003

boohoo chap!

Mike Olbinski · Jun 24, 2003

Hey guys, wanted to resurrect this thread for a bit...I have NBA 2K3 at the moment, only played it a few times.

I'm doing a season with the Suns, I'm 1-2 so far, lol. I'm going to test our your idea about the Sliders, Wasted...see how that works.

But I don't have instructions for it, so some things are hard for me to figure out. Not sure how to run plays yet.

Also, I can't seem to edit a player's attributes...how can I?

Thanks,

Mike

Chaplin · Jun 24, 2003

Mike, just FYI, I never run plays--the only thing I do is call for a lot of picks. Plays never seem to work well for me.

Mike Olbinski · Jun 24, 2003

Okay, well, I can't figure out how to call the picks...i saw the controller options said something like "L", but that doesn't work.

Also, seems like my guys like to stop when you pass...is there some secret to passing on the run, or catching on the run?

Mike, are you playing on the xbox or ps2?

There is a roster manager on the main screen before you go into the game modes where you can manipulate the rosters (trade players, change stats, create players, etc.). The only problem with this is that any saved leagues will not reflect your changes. I recommend saving the roster after you make the changes.

Also to call for a pick in the xbox version, you press in the left thumbstick. I can scan the manual and email it to you if you want it.
