Dude this game is so much fun. It is tons more realistic than last year. Of course it has its minor issues with certain features but I enjoy the gameplay so much more especially in close games. The 3 point contest is kinda fun, but a little too easy. The Dunk Contest and Dunk Challenge are tons of fun when playing with a group of people. Overall I think this game will have more replay value than any of the previous NBA Live games to date. All we need now is a 3on3 game to make it that much more fun like back on Live 98 SNES.

Well ... I had no problems with last years game except for a few issues - the dynasty mode was kind of bad last year. This year, that seems to be fixed and I love the new simulation intervention feature. I've been running a dynasty with the Clipps and I only play the fourth quarters. Right now, my record is 8 - 10. I recently beat Indiana by one point (78-77) but I lost to Minnesota after holding a 5 point lead with less than 2 minutes left. This game is a lot more exciting. It has a lot of the stuff that Live '04 missed. The trades and free agent signings are a lot better too. I think EA did a splendid job with this. Can't wait until it's time to draft those rookies (I have so many ideas for that - guys wait for my dynasty to come out soon).

I thought that was what NBA Street was for?

Only thing that kills me is how I defend these guys every year, telling all my friends how much better this game will be than the last... holding out hope that one day they'll actually get it right, only to be made to look like an idiot upon its release. :evil:

Swear to god, I might actually go back to live 2000 until they shoe and jersey patches start coming out.

Live05 is not boring... the gameplay is great, im guessing the main reason you find the game boring is because you cant beat the computer and you always lose to the computer by double digits. (N)

Live is the best bball game released. I won't be putting it down for a long time. Viva la Live

Minor issues?? Just wait till you read my review.

Nice generalization. I'm assuming you can play as the Bobcats and blow away Dallas by 30 points on superstar mode. Anyhoo, I figured out the game thanks to its simple repetitive offense, so count me out

by **Matthew** on Tue Nov 02, 2004 9:56 am

You talk about generalisation, and look at your post. All you're comming up with is "The bobcats beat dallas by 30, blah blah bah", well guess what, teams do get beaten by teams with less talent all the time in the NBA. Look at the finals last year for proof.

by **Donatello** on Tue Nov 02, 2004 10:02 am

i wouldn't say the game 'sucks'. not at all. it is an improvement over 2004...not a HUGE improvement, though. The only things I'm ticked about are things that I loved in 2004 (stat saving, full customization of controller, and the nice menus) that are absent in 2005. if you didn't think 2004 sucked, but 2005 does....then you are slightly confused.

It's called satire.

? I was talking about The_Game's arrogance at how he's implying that anybody who criticizes Live 2005 can't even win on starter mode. I counter-attacked by teasing him that he's good enough to overcome the lowest probability of winning.

Got it?

It's still better tha my signature

by **The Game** on Tue Nov 02, 2004 10:19 am

not really a generalization, more of a lame attempt at sarcasm :wink:

i play on all-star and i have won very few games. im still learning but i like the challenge

by **Matthew** on Tue Nov 02, 2004 10:24 am

Thats good.. the challange is better than domination in any video game.

I agree.

by **Alcoholic** on Tue Nov 02, 2004 10:52 am

I like this year, mainly because they fixed a lot of quirks/exploits that cheap human players like to do a lot. :lol:

And they also added/changed some things to make them less exploitable.

by **BrotherJRB** on Tue Nov 02, 2004 10:54 am

See the challenge should come from solid NBA strategy! THis game is the same as last year from a strategy standpoint(although CPU do take different shots most notably mid range J's). All you have to do is jump the pick n roll rotate with your post players and block jump shots.....it is just to damn easy!

IF they ran plays and if the CPU got back on D.....this game would have been great.

It's frustrating because if they would spend an extra month or add a few new programmers they could have easily made this game great....I think it is time we hold this product accountable.
