                Background 
                NBA 
                2K3 powers forward with the kind of improvement that 
                only results from an off-season dedicated to perfection. Imagine 
                jump shots so real 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; and dribble moves that let you jab left, rock right, 
                crossover, spin and much more. It’s all happening 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.  
                 
                With commentators that analyze strategy, cutscenes portraying 
                lifelike player interaction, uniforms that move like real fabric, 
                and a brand new ESPN broadcast system that wraps it all together, 
                NBA 2K3 provides the complete NBA experience.
