STEPPIN’ IT UP
In 2002,
NBA Inside Drive
took virtual basketball to a
whole new level.
Real-Time Coaching
made it possible
for you to call plays on the fly. As the general manager, you
traded players and inked deals with free agents. And, the more
than 1,000 animations gave you an incredible number of jaw-
dropping moves.
A year later it’s back—
NBA Inside Drive 2003
—
with all-new features that’ll stun you as never
before. Warm up in
Practice
mode before
you get on the court for real. Then, take your
favorite team through as many as 25 full
seasons—with new rookies
available every year.
And, if that weren’t
impressive enough, you
can even put yourself in
the game. Create a player
who looks like you, went
to your school—and best of
all—has the skills you only dream of
having. Then, get that player on a team,
rack up some achievements, such as
quadruple-doubles and a shot or two
at the buzzer, and you are on your way
to superstardom.
Kevin Calabro will be there, along with
Marques Johnson, Kenny Smith, and
Akemi Takei. There’s no way you’ll miss
a second of the action.
TAKE THE FIRST STEP
Let’s begin at the
beginning. That would
be the
Main Menu
,
naturally. This is where
you take your first step
along the path to b-ball
immortality. Check out
the Help text at the
bottom of the screen
for more information on
each option.
PRACTICE
If you’re eager to shoot some hoops but aren’t ready to run
with the big dogs just yet, try out
Practice
mode.
The
Shoot Around
option makes it possible
for you to take the court
without the pressure
of an opposing team
shutting you down. You
control the guy with the
ball, while his teammates
wait for you to pass the
ball to—and take control
of—them.
To hone your skills at the
charity stripe, choose the
Free Throw
option. You
can practice your shots
as long as you want. See
Normal Free Throws
on pg. 17 for specific
instructions on how to
shoot free throws.
