Live 05 gives way too much of an advantage to a tall player. You could insert a lineup of 5 7-foot scrubs and they'll kill any all-star team any time. Guys like Shawn Bradley, Yao Ming, and Podkolzine can block you even if they're 15 feet behind. In real life, the quicker guards will blow right by them. Whenever there's a tall defender near the basket, it's pointless to press the dunk button, you'll get muffed out of bounds. It's better to take a jumpshot from 1 foot away. Duh. Why don't they include the utterly simple animation of a two hand layup/shot off the backboard (that you see millions of kids and adults do on the playground?)
