The Xbox took a big hit this year not being included in EA's online experience; because of the EA titles' lack of online play, the PS2 games generally scored better than the Xbox titles. Thus, Xbox developers had to hustle themselves into the narrow market, providing competitive sports titles that would appear on XSN Sports, and not only provide the online experience but also a single-player game that would keep up with the likes of EA and Sega's market domination. Does "NBA Inside Drive 2004" keep up? Will basketball fans turn their back on EA and Sega for the High Voltage Software-developed, Microsoft-published title? Maybe.
