do u people even realize what your missing?

[Donatello]

exactly. that's all i want to hear. some valid points, rather than 'you all play on galaxy cam and 2003 is more fun. wahwahwah, i want my mommy's teat'

[bestclubowner]

what dont yall like about the 2003 version? the better graphics? the better commentary? the more fast breaks? the more crowd involvement? the more fun of it all? the better music? the sicker dunks? what part dont u like?

or do u like 2005 because its slow, no sound, and boring?


just curious

[Donatello]

for the love of christ, stop saying the same thing over and over again.

god you're annoying. it's not like you MADE the game, bud. if you like it, fine. but don't think people are nuts because they don't agree with you.

you're really starting to piss me off.

your original post:

ok listen, 2003 was, and dont even try to argue with me on this, MORE FUN, FASTER GAMEPLAY, SICKER DUNKS, MORE CROWD INVOLVEMENT, BETTER COMMENTARY, BETTER MUSIC, LOTS OF FAST BREAKS, BETTER GRAPHICS, AND YOU CAN TELL WHICH PLAYERS ARE WHICH. nba live 05 blows compared to 2003. now yeah it doesnt have all star weekend and the freestyle challenges (which u people dont play) but still. GRAPHCIS AND EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WAY BETTER.

your new post:

what dont yall like about the 2003 version? the better graphics? the better commentary? the more fast breaks? the more crowd involvement? the more fun of it all? the better music? the sicker dunks? what part dont u like?

those are EXACTLY THE SAME quotes.

"better graphics"= OPINION
"better commentary"=OPINION
"more fun of it all"=OPINION
"the better music"=OPINION
"the sicker dunks"=OPINION


you're a broken record. this is a forum for discussion, not for annoying the hell out of us until we agree with you just to make you happy so you shut the hell up so we can stop arguing so that i don't go insane and bite off your nose through the internet and then i would go to jail and who would feed my kitty?

[bestclubowner]

plus 03 has funny cut scenes AND LOTS OF THEM. ok heres what i want for u guys to do. go to ftp.ea.com and download the 2003 demo im not sure if its still up there and compare the clarity of the graphics and u will see how much better 2003 is. i just dont understand why people are so blind

[bestclubowner]

if that site doesnt work try pcgameworld.com

[Donatello]

You always post 2 times in a row. There's this little button called 'edit' that you can push so that you don't spam all over the place. I wonder how many of your 100 posts have come from double posting.

And, as I said, I just recently downloaded the Live 2003 demo. And it sucked balls. You need to realize that you have your opinion, and other people have theirs.

I HATE mashed potatoes, but alot of other people LOVE mashed potatoes. That doesn't mean that I'm insane, it's just my preference. It's an OPINION.

Cut scenes get very old very quickly. I'm glad they aren't in 2005. I would watch them on occasion, but mostly just skip through them. That was good, though. At least you brought up something new this time around.

[Ataraxia]

wow man...I use to play live 03 alot...but I got sick of it cause of its insane dunks n stupid blocking...the sound was so annoying too..it sounded like somebody got hit by a bus when they blocked.

the graphics r better than live 05??...u must be blind...live 05 is way better...prob is u need a good graphics card to get em at optimum..but in no way does live 03's graphics surpass that off live 05.

n that boring franchise mode, all u do is draft a rookie n then sign a free agent....n dont get me started on those horrible standings, in live 03 if your squad was that of the Mavericks last season u always win 70 games....no stopping it...sometimes 75..but never less than 70...

the bench minutes were so stupid, in sim games max bench minutes for a player was like 8-10 mins...and the awards giving was horrible...sixth man of the year went to Jamie Feick every single time..

commentary was horrible, those guys put u to sleep....

Live 2000 was better than Live 03, even Live 01 (though it sucked big time too) was better......

yes it introduced a new type of playing with some shit...but they were insanely easy...

n the 3 pt bug, the pc jacked up 3's n hit em every single time n that game.......and u would miss like 5 shots in a row....of course that happens so the scores could be close to each other, u could never get blow away results or even games with scoring diffz of at least 10 pts....it was always buzzer beats or 10 secs left with a 4 pt lead kinda game.

Live 03 was woeful, it was so bad that I didnt wanna buy Live 04, 05 or any Live game till I had full assurance it would be fun to play...Live 04 is good n I still enjoy playing it...so much that im willing to skip on Live 05(which i play at my friends place all the time n is really awesome) and wait till 06....

so yeh, its pretty weird how u like such a unrealistic game...I would play Backyard Basketball 2003 instead of it

[bestclubowner]

are youll actually saying 05 is more clear than 03? COME ON!

[Donatello]

NBA Live 2003:


NBA Live 2005:




Hm..........

[Ataraxia]

are youll actually saying 05 is more clear than 03? COME ON!

I think Live 99 is more clearer than Live 03

u need to get your eyes tested, cause if u think 03 is clearer (n specially if u got a good graphics card) than 05....u got poorer vision than a gramps

[cyanide]

I just love 2003's nets

[bestclubowner]

ive got a GREAT video card. 256 mb suckas. and ill try to get fraps working to show the difference. 2005 is BLURY AS HECK. plus theres no flow to the game. i cant believe people would actually edit pics to defend eas faults.

[bestclubowner]

oh and i like how u put the 2005 on all the way up and 03 all the way down even so when your playing it 05 is till more blury and u know it

[Donatello]

edit pics????????????


dude, you're one sad little monkey. i posted that like one minute after you posted yours. god, you're annoying. you think i'd edit pics to argue with you? moron. this is a fucking video game. GET OVER IT. i didn't edit either of them. i linked the 2003 pic straight from a website (right click it and see), and the 2005 pic is straight from shbzmafia's dynasty.

you, sir, are an ass.

oh and by the way STOP DOUBLE POSTING


ok. here.

[Ataraxia]

AND YOU CAN TELL WHICH PLAYERS ARE WHICH

hmm hmm...Im sure u can recognise Andre Miller, specially when he looks like a mini Eddie Jones in it....

the faces were horrible, the players didnt have proper tattoos...all yucky generic shoes n terrible hairstyles too....but yet u can say which players are which in Live 03(when they look almost totally different in most cases) than in Live 05 (when even Andre Emmett looks so realistic).

Hmm I think U need to go look at some headshots from NBA.com n refresh your memory on what players look like.

no flow to the game???????....hmm so yeh dunking 360's, windmills, n just running past your opponents using Earl Boykins even if Shaq is at the post is real b-ball....cmon even streetballers cant do things like that, maybe they can but really really rarely..

theirs a thing called DEFENSE in basketball, its not a game where the best dunk wins games or the ability to run from end to end and finish with physically impossible dunks.

[bestclubowner]

u dont have to do this. u dont need to defend ea like this. u know as well as i do that 2005 is EXTREMELY hard to tell the players apart. the graphics are just not clear. pure and simple. u know it, i know it. and so does ea

[Ataraxia]

u dont have to do this. u dont need to defend ea like this. u know as well as i do that 2005 is EXTREMELY hard to tell the players apart. the graphics are just not clear. pure and simple. u know it, i know it. and so does ea

oh yes, dont u know....we worship EA, yes we are the spawn of EA. Infact I plan to marry a worker from EA Sports Canada, her name is Jessica Alba

this is gonna be my last comment on this....

Live 03 is the worst basketball game Ive ever played, its even worse than Fox Sports Basketball....I enjoyed Live 2000 way way way more..even Live 2001.....
now Live 05 is the best ever basketball game out there(ESPN fans may beg to differ)......but yet u love prolly the worst basketball game of the Live series??
Your not a fan of basketball, your just a guy that thinks b-ball is all abt crazy dunks and insane 3 point shooting.

[Donatello]

what the fuck planet do you live on?

i don't even like playing realistically. i play a very arcade game- and 2005 is light years beyond 2003.

JUST BECAUSE YOU LIKE SOMETHING, DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERYONE ELSE WILL.

You think the players in 2003 look better? Fine. That's your call. But you are giving nothing to support it.

Look at this pic of live 2003.


and now look at this pic from live 2005.


Gee....in that top pic, sure is hard to tell those guys apart. If they were wearing the same jersey and had the same haircut I might not be able to. But in the bottom one, that IS BARON DAVIS. It's his face. 100%. You can even tell that's KG from the BACK OF HIS HEAD. The detail is THAT good.

I want to respect your opinion, as this is not a matter of right or wrong, but I just don't see how you could think that the 2003 graphics are better. And, no I didn't edit these images. Again, they are directly linked to their pages. If you accuse me of having to cheat and lie to defend what is clearly better graphics again I really will eat your nose.

EARTH

[bestclubowner]

three other things i should point out.

1. why would i want to play a game where the crowd doesnt get excited and theres no enivronement?

2. whenever u try to drive it just pushes u back to the 3 point line

3. the detail is very bad. on 2003 it looks SO REAL but on 2005 u have to squint just to see their faces.

[Donatello]

ok dude. if you think you're making new points you really are retarded. every post, you say the same thing.

the detail is very bad. on 2003 it looks SO REAL but on 2005 u have to squint just to see their faces.

The crowd DOES get excited, chanting things such as MVP! MVP!, etc.....and they DO go crazy when you dunk. The commentary is the best of any NBA Live game ever- there's simply more there.

whenever u try to drive it just pushes u back to the 3 point line

no it doesn't. maybe if you try to drive directly through players on the other team, like your dumbass probably does.

please respond to the fact that I actually posted pics of both games, in which you can clearly see the faces on live 2005 are more clear.

and, for the third time, STOP DOUBLE POSTING. use the edit button, bro.

I only keep responding to this because I know that you must be able to make a valid point if I keep pressuring you to say something besides '2005 sucks, 2003 rules!!!'

[-BHZMAFIA-]

LMAO at those live 03 pics. when i saw shaq face i thought it was somebody's bad patch or somethin

[bestclubowner]

yeah but then u posted a REAL pic of 03 below that. sure on the internet sites they make the screenshots look all good and everything but when your playing the game it looks like crap. COMPLETE CRAP. just give it up. u know u like 03 better

[bestclubowner]

oh yeah i was referring to the pics at the top. and that 05 pic is SO FAKE. the game doesnt even look like that and u know it.

[Donatello]

my god man.......another damn double post. do you not read????

"u know you like 2003 better"........


then why the hell aren't I playing it?
