NBA Live 2005 Cover...Part 1

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Wed Apr 28, 2004 6:05 pm

Hopefully we'll get another blacked out cover as a teaser this year, but until then, who do you think will/should be on the cover of NBA Live 2005?

by **guillus2670** on Wed Apr 28, 2004 7:03 pm

I would of liked kobe but i guess lebron could be on it.
I just hope i wont have boris diaw or pietrus this year as in france we had tony parker which i like but to make the cover no...
He is so overrated in france btw (off topic, i know...)

is he?
His star shines brightly in the playoffs, as was the case during this whole season.

by **BadWolf** on Wed Apr 28, 2004 7:07 pm

Kobe's image is not good enough at the moment, so he won't make it to the cover. LeBron and Carmelo would be great...

I don't think Kobe could appear on the cover regardless. Isn't he still under contract with Left Field to appear in the Kobe Bryant's NBA Courtside series?

i saw on a show that appeared on nbatv in the us and espn here in australia at the start of the season that Tony Parker is the most popular sports star in france even more popular than zinadine zidane and theirry henry...is this true???

i saw it already..its from detroit pistons..i dnt knw the name but hes white...thats all..by the way..i saw the image in the cover of xbox cd of nba live 2005.. ;peace

by **Andreas Dahl** on Wed Apr 28, 2004 11:26 pm

hehe.
The one you talk about qt_kid21 is a fake one...

(ps. That was Darko Milicic on the cover...)

by **Donatello** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 1:29 am

darko on the cover? haha, yeah i'm sure. a guy plays like 4 minutes a game and gets on the cover of nba live? i don't think so...i think it's more likely for jar-jar binks to grace the cover.

i think it will probably be lebron james. though i would like to see one of these players:

peja stojakovic- why not show some international flair?

karl malone- the old man deserves it, assuming he doesn't opt out and retire at the end of this year

earl boykins- that little dude just makes me smile. lol

by **sixerfan03** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 4:21 am

I'm thinking LeBron or Carmello. (Wasn't Melo already on March Madness's cover?)

by **f.l.i.p.** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 10:14 am

yao ming - saleswise.. let's face it, put yao on it, sales will be boostin
tmac - the name itself is more than enough reason

by **Drex** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 11:18 am

Gasol

Yao

Odom

LeBron

Starbury

by **Alcoholic** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 12:30 pm

Yeah I think Malone should be there. He'd probably have his head all shiny and have the ball at his side, and he should have a funny smirk on his face.

Or how about Amare Stoudemire going strong to the rim? (Rim cut out) (Should look something like this.)

Jason Kidd?

Or maybe some star point guard holding up fingers.

I believe he was. I think LeBron or Carmelo is a pretty good guess, I might make that my early pick too.

by **Bl@ck_Thorne** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 3:19 pm

yeah melo or lebron is a good choice for the cover on live05

by **wangster** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 4:38 pm

Jermaine O'neal? (I think that's a good guess)
Michael Redd? (His stock is on the rise)
I like the idea of Peja being on the cover, but somehow I don't see EA marketing him.

by **Nick** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 6:33 pm

Jermaine O'Neal has been my guess for a few weeks. (Y)

And i'll stick to it.

as a top 5 mvp candidate, that would make him the highest ranked player that hasn't already been on a cover of any other game before. (i dont think he has anyway) so thats my guess.

by **eladbecks** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 10:33 pm

lebron or carmello!

by **Null17** on Thu Apr 29, 2004 10:39 pm

i think its gonna be bron coz he's always on the screenshots and on the player select screens on live 04 with carter so im guessing after carter bron-bron should be next

by **Andreas Dahl** on Fri Apr 30, 2004 2:36 am

Good point there Null17.
But last year we saw a simular thing. That one with Yao and T-Mac.
So mayby it doesn't realy mean anything...

A guess at LeBron would be a decent assesment. Carmelo also.
It would be nice to have both of them, but I doubt that would work though.
But I also think that Jermaine O'Neal has the better edge though...

by **emadhn15** on Fri Apr 30, 2004 4:16 am

Yao Ming no doubt!

by **j.23** on Fri Apr 30, 2004 4:43 am

paul pierce maybe

by **showstopper496** on Fri Apr 30, 2004 9:07 am

My Cousin works at EA canada and he said they are most likely using LeBron James or Ben Wallace

Lucky dog...Tell him to make Live better...Do you have any secrets about live 2005?

seriously though

I go for JO. He deserves something.

by **alexboom** on Fri Apr 30, 2004 5:29 pm

2 possibilities : Yao Ming for his value over the Asian market, or LeBon James because of the hype. even if carmelo just had a little better stats, LeBron will make it as he benefits much more from media coverage (did you already forget the rookie of the year award ?)
