I also have both games and really tried to play ESPN but the gameplay was kind of silly. The game motion of the players without the ball is kind of
.
Tell you why I pic Live 05
* The players really move realisticly without the ball and create open
shots for themselves. You got to find the open man. I enjoy drawing
dbleteams and dishing to the open man and it looks beautifull.
* All the new animations:
* The no look pass underneath the basket
* The leaner after the pump fake
* The running animationwhile receiving the pass. (Still think they should
of used it
more often to help fastbreaks for both user and CPU)
* The rebound animations
* The post dble fake
* The post movement and options over all
* The different layup animations are great to
* The jump shots are good looking too
* The Tipins
* The put backs
* The steal and interception animations are preaty cool too
* The long pass animation
* Some new dunk animations
* The PDA is Great for us who are not freaks of the Dynasty. Cause
well it helps a lot.
* When fast breaks do happen it feals so goooood
* The all star weekend in the Dynasty is very cool as you have to
perform well to get invited to the events
* The events of the allstar weekend are all fun.
* The simulation intervention is great. Depending on the amount of time
you have to play, you can simulate any amount of quarters
* Now injuries are for real and affect the teams greatly when a key player
goes down
* What I like the most is the difficulty of the game. You can no longer
beat the crap out of the CPU on Superstar every single time. At least
not the first month or so
Live has improved a whole lot from last years version. Yes it does have some mayor and minor bugs as all games do. But still this is the best BBAll game outthere for the people who love the play realistic NBA. If you don,t like the reality of the game being difficult then go play NBA Street or ESPN or all the other more Arcadish games out there.
Don,t get me wrong
I still think EA should FIRE the guy whos in charge of the Live Team for letting go so many little silly easy to fix bugs (Maybee I can do the quality control for them. Call me EASPORTS). But still the best dam Realistic Basketball Game in the Market.
