Is NBA Live 2005 the most anticipated release to date?

Hello again,

Well I've noticed the excitement and the frustration people are encountering after watching all these All-Star Weekend, 5-on-5, Freestyle Air clips. Everyone wished they could just play the game IMMEDIATELY! But I wounder if anyone actually believes this is the most anticipated title this year by EA SPORTS.

or

Do you think any other NBA LIVE releases in the past was looked upon releasing more than this year's release of 2005.

I wasnt here for the other release dates so i would have to say yes, its the most anticipated, for me

i voted that this is the most awaited release ever(imo) but not for the reason stated. though all star weekend is huge for me there is something else i look forward to more so. its the improved dynasty that i am waiting for. finally with real salaries and a calander offseason i think the live team is finally starting to try and catch up with madden. i am a franchise junky with sports games so improveing this means the world to me. i would put gameplay enhancements second and all star weekend 3rd.

I would say the outlook is the most positive it's been in years and more people are look forward to the game with high expectations and a fairly positive attitude. Most people were looking forward to NBA Live 2004 as well but not with the same kind of anticipation. NBA Live 2002 and NBA Live 2003 definitely drew a lot of early negativity.

yeah i'd say live is highly anticipated not just coz of all star weekend feature but the gameplay is lookin alot better and new graphics and its freestyle featiures improvements
