In NBA 2K3 there is a lot of accurate realism towards actual basketball. The players feel very solid which is good. The gameplay of the basketball is very good and can be played in many different ways and you can edit the game in such ways that would seem stupid but it all plays out very realistically. The sound is alright I suppose which is okay for sports games because they don't usually offer much. The graphics have some nice curves. The basketball looks great but there is quite a lot of player hand to ball glitches.

The overall length of the game is quite like most sports game. You can play it a lot and the difficulty levels can be changed. NBA 2K3 is a very acceptable game.
