1. I pick it up on my way from school and read the instruction booklet on the train ride home.

2. Lie to my friends that I didn't get it so I can get a jumpstart on the gameplay nuiances and new moves. :lol: :twisted:

3. Get comfortable and pop the disk into the XBox, I'll watch everything in the intro until it's time to press start.

4. I pick either Magic or Kobe (depends on how nostalgic I'm feeling at the time) and go into practice mode where I can try out and appreciate the new moves. I usually do this for roughly 10-20 minutes, just shooting jumpers, dunking and doing new dribble moves.

5. After my practice mode fetish I go to exhibition mode and use the Lakers against a lousy team on All-Star difficulty setting. I watch all player intros and cutscenes without skipping like I'll do weeks later.

6. I usually play a few games to get into the swing of things and then start a franchise the next day. The main thing is to get at least a day in of familiarity before I unveil the game to the fellas the next day as if I just picked it up.

7. We begin setting up a new season. We look over ratings of players and use them in practice mode to compile data for our NBA draft. Once we all feel comfortable with our draft notes as well as comfortable with the new elements of the game, we begin the draft.

8. There are eight of us so we put eight pieces of paper in a hat, each numbered 1-8. After we pick and get the draft order we then start the draft. Whoever has the first pick is usually under the most pressure, do you go for KG or Shaq? Maybe Kobe or T-Mac? I've never had higher than the fourth pick myself, but understand the pressure involved.

9. From there a 70 game season begins, each individual plays the other 7 a total of ten times. We usually get the season done around the time of March Madness and have a 6 team playoffs and Finals. The season is filled with lots of trades, usually a guy who's doing poorly is apt to making bad trades and rash decisions. Sometimes the wrong trade can make a season turn for the worst. We're going to have a ball with Live 2005!

Exhibition game

Rockets (Home) VS Lakers

Mon Sep 06, 2004 5:13 pm

I'll probably look around some of the new features, perhaps take a player into practice mode to check out some of the animations and see how the new Freestyle moves/Freestyle Air works. Then I believe I'll have to try a dunk contest then start exploring the Dynasty Mode enhancements in-depth.

Mon Sep 06, 2004 6:06 pm

practice mode (5 - 10 minutes)

dunk contest (2 - 4 matchups)

3pt shootout (once or twice)

exhibition game (one 5-minute game)

dynasty mode (non-stop)

:D

first i'm going to edit some players because you know theer gonna be some faults in the game

second i'm going to create a player

and third i'm just gonna watch the screen and look at the cover(cause i can't believe i finally got the game :roll: )

then i'm going to call school and say that i JUST DIED AND WILL NEVER RETURN :twisted:

Prolly gonna go straight for the Dynasty... No practise no nothing. Just give it to me straight...

I like to learn on the fly... And it keeps the early games intresting as you don't know the best and most effective moves and just go with the basic basket ball instincts... And see if the basics work in the game.

I will probably try 3ptrs and Dunk hooplas later... I don't have a pad, so might have to get one of those.

Before that... Just anxiously waiting...

i have a better suggestion. Call the police and say that there is a bomb in [insert your school's name]. Do it . We did it on an important day :wink: it works. But use payphones. And do it before first class and go to school then. They check the ones who didnt show up school that day. :wink:


I'll check out the rosters, create-a-player, try 1-on1, exhibition (just 3 minute quarters) then into dynasty with the Suns.
