NBA Live 2005 Cover...Part 1

LeBron will be on the cover.

Dwayne Wade....kiddin.
EA Sports would be wise to put Bronbron in the cover before some other game (possibly a crummy game?) decides to do that.

I just hope it isn't yao.
or any of the kings.

EA might have a couple of different covers as they did last year.

Found this; New logo for EA Sports in 2005...



I think it looks good...
It might be to some use for you people who's creating custom covers.

Nice logo, I like it

I think LeBron.

Kidd was it already in 2003, Garnett in 2001, Yao's teammate in 2002, Duncan in 2000,

Maybe Shaq??

i dont think shaq will be on the cover coz he was just on the cover of inside drive

Ah, right didn't know.

And what about Elton Brand

He is a kind of rolemodel, (don't know if this is right english)

Maybe Big BEN should be on a cover or Jermaine Oneal.
Nobody has said this person: Paul Pierce even though he was on inside drive 2003, he still could be for Live.
It might be possible that they might just keep Vimce Carter.

Paul Pierce has been said I think.

It might be possible that they might just keep Vimce Carter.

I guess it's possible, but they've always avoided using the same player on back to back covers, or even use the same player twice at some point during the series.

I dont like the idea of having "Half man-Half a season" on the cover again. I didnt think he was deserving in the first place. Marbury should have got it last year.

I'm thinking that this year they will put retired player Eric Montross on the cover. Old butterfingers could inspire anyone to shell out 50 bucks for a game.

what does it represent ?

I have no idea...
That's just how it is...

Big Ben did T.V. spots for NBA 2K3 and ESPN NBA 2004, so that might be a reason why he WON'T be on the Live cover.

Yeah I think Eric Montross too because of what he has done for the NBA.
Maybe Dejan Bodiroga is on the cover because of what he has done for the NBA, ....Wait Bodiroga never played in the NBA

i hope ea will put more than one player on the cover like the FIFA series.

baron davis could be on the cover

If the Spurs advance to NBA Finals then it wouldn't be a surprise to see Tony Parker on the cover.

If the Spurs advance to NBA Finals then it wouldn't be a surprise to see Tony Parker on the cover.

We already had him in france for 2004 so i doubt he will be there again.

My guess is different covers for different countries or Lebron James.

This is business

I'd have to guess T-Mac or KG. Then again it could be Lebron or Melo. Shit I don't know!!!!!!!

T-mac is with another game i think... and KG was already on an NBA Live cover.

The Candidates are:
Baron Davis
Michael Redd
Paul Pierce
Lebron James
Carmelo Anthony
Amare Stoudemire
Ron Artest
Jermaine O'neal
Peja Sotjakovic (not too marketable though)
Zach Randolph
Dwyane Wade
Lamar Odom
Yao Ming
Shawn Marion
Chauncey Billups


These guys will likely not happen:
KG - Already used and might be on ESPN
Duncan - Already used
Vince Carter - Already used
Shaquille O'neal - just no
Kobe - Legal Problems etc, bad portrayal for company
Steve Francis - already used
Ben Wallace - with ESPN I think
Tracy McGrady - On another game



Now out of all the possible guys mentioned, the most likely (Top 10) in order ro me are:
Baron Davis
Amare Stoudemire
Ron Artest
Jermaine O'neal
Lebron James
Carmelo Anthony
Dwyane Wade
Shawn Marion
Michael Redd
Paul Pierce

Shaq has also already been on the cover (NBA Live 96). Out of that list of 10 players, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony remain the most likely candidates in my opinion.
