You can honestly say you think the 2003 looks better? The 2003 pic looks more like Jordan than Garnett.

[bestclubowner]

plus u can hang on the rim in 2003. and the replays are cooler with sound effects. and the players scream after awesome dunks. its just better. 2005 has no emotion. its like lifeless or something. im going on friday and trading in 2005 for 2003. ive just been playing the demo as of late but this game is off tha hizzle fow shizzle.

HOLLA

[bestclubowner]

omg are u blind? the 03 is WAY better

[Donatello]

and earlier you said about how 2005 has no atmosphere.....

i seem to remember that in 2003, there was no ARENA, there was only a court and stands. 2005 has the total arena, up the the celiing. it has an actual environment, not just a black roof above the players heads.

i will give you that players don't have much expression in 2005. but with how great the cyberfaces are, it would be near impossible to give them all the expressions without seriously degrading the quality of the face.

i, for one, don't miss 2003's players' mouths becoming the size of grapefruits every time they threw down a dunk.

[Donatello]

ok it is official. i DO NOT like insulting people. keep that in mind as i say this YOU ARE THE DUMBEST PERSON I HAVE EVER COME INTO CONTACT WITH. I don't think that anyone on this board would agree with you that the 2003 garnett looks "WAY better" than the 2005. the 2003 doesn't even resemble garnett!

[darch]

in 2003 players dont have huge shoes and slim ankles
freestyle was more responsive and intuitive not so much auto like now
rest 2005 is better but still pissing me couse of freestyle

there you go. some actual comments. "Bestclubowner" should learn from you. I agree that freestyle has gotten too loose now, you can touch the stick barely and spin around 8 times

[ilya]

i think freestyle is actually very nice right now.. that's weird, i see to like the game a lot more than most. haha

by the way, bestclubowner, you're really not proving your point at all. you're just irritating some members (doing a good job at it too. well done...), but that's about it. hey, i bet you're 13 years old hiding behind your computer thinking you are big and powerful. sad...

[weed manus]

Hmmm...2003 was a good game...until 2004 & now 2005 are here!!! I've spent hours playing 2003 & I loved every single minute of it...okay, along came 2004 & I was like "woah"!! It was good but not as good as I thought it would be compared to 2003...so anyways, I went back to 2003 & to tell you the truth, I missed playing 2004!! So gentlemen, IMO 2004/05 are indeed better games while 2003 is also good...I miss the power-dribble from 2003 though, you always had a choice of going forward or pulling outward with that trick...I also miss the "squaring up" feature before you take a shot from 2003...I think it was L1 & soon as your player dribbled once you hit another button, sort of like a combo, it was a really nice move & it's not in the newer versions!! So anyhow, I hope you kids can resolve your differences & enjoy all versions of NBA Live, no matter which one is better it's just an opinion of one likes & differences...it's keeps the world going round & round & round & round & round & round & round..............................

[Andre]

Cyberfaces look a way better in 2005 than in 2003.
Bestclubowner, stop being stubburn and admit it. Garnett's face is better in 2005.

On the other hand, look at garnett's elbow and forearm...in 2003 they look a way better...you can actually see some veins. Now look at 2005, they don't look that good....

Just my opinion

[renegade]

HOLLA

you've mentioned the sounds a couple of times now and its driving me insane to the point where i had to post this; i believe the sounds in 2005 are great, dunks dont sound so arcade-like any more they sound like an actual dunk would sound in the game, players still do scream after doing some dunks, i know this for a fact because i was playing practice mode on 2005 and the player screamed when he was doing the dunk. 2003 IN MY OPINION!!! is garbage to the newer more realistic NBA 2005!

i had to get that out!

[Guest]

are u blind? the 03 is WAY better

Heres a classic example of why you shouldnt smoke crack...

[Doug]

man bestclubowner you'd have to be the biggest retard on the face of this earth nba live 03's graphics and cybers better then nba live 05 haha what the fuck are you smoking, and nba live 03 being clearer then nba live 05 i dont think so, nba live 03's cybers are so shitty you can mistake one of the players for a clown, and the gameplay my god you must be stupid to say it was good it was as arcadey as you can get heck nba street volume 2 did a better job at being a great arcade as what nba live 2003 tried to be. All in all nba live 2005 is better and you need to get your ears checked too if you can't hear the crowd cheering when ur doing good and dunking.

[cyanide]

I'm 100% sure that bestclubowner double posted to irritate Donatello, otherwise... I wouldn't know what to say. Anyway, Live 2003 was fun at first, but it is so unrealistic in an "arcadish" sense, and the repetition of easy dunks just made the game boring in the end. Live 2004 and 2005 are more realistic, but I just can't stand the passing in 2005. I took some fraps movies, but I have to compress them. I'll post them up later. My final note about 2003's graphics is that the players are too muscular. I don't think I've seen Jason Kidd that buff, ever.

okay bestclubowner, i didnt want to waste my time responding in this thread but i've been reading along...and wow. if you think the 2003 garnett is better that the one in 05 you are a complete and utter IDIOT!!!!!! the 03 garnett doesnt look anything like him. all it has is kg's cheeckbones and bald head. the 05 garnett is not only the exact model of his face, but the skin is brown, the tattoos are as precise as possible, and his arms dont look like schwarzenegger. kg is supposed to be skinny and dark brown skinned, not buff and green skinned with no tats and a horrible face.

and look into that crowd you're so obsessed with. it's a bunch of dots with color. the arena models were horrible in EVERY live up until 04, so that's not even somethin you can debate.

the 04 commentary has more to offer than 03. the dunks and threes in 03 were ricidulous. i'm not even great at video games and i dominated 03 easily. i once went 82-0 in a season on hardest difficulty level not simming any games.

i dont want to hear your fool as calling me an ea fanboy. truth is i've prefered sega's hoops game for the past 3 years. but if you think 03 is superior is graphics, you are truly an IGNORANT FOOL.

p.s....stop spamming the thread with your damn double posts.

[bestclubowner]

in 05 the players are smaller or something. u cant even get close to the action. the coloring for one is all off. like when u play in 03 the lakers court is colorful but in 05 its all shady, dark, and with this glossy crap all over the players bodies. plus the player models are all off. and the way they run is ridiculous. its like there floating on ice or something. they pass funny. they shoot funny. theres no flow to the game. when u do a cross over its all slow and they barely do it. theres no fast breaks. and it doesnt zoom in all the way when doing a jam like on 03. on 03 the camera like shooked or something when u went in for a jam on baseline low. it was AWESOME. but theres something seriously wrong with the coloring of the 2 games. and seriosuly i have to squint to see the players faces on 05.

[Doug]

well actually we dont all give a crap that u like one of the worse peices of crap game that live has ever produced but that's just ur opinion anyways and you must be blind if you cant see who is who in nba live 2005 just go back to ur arcadey nba live 03 and leave us alone with ur stupid spamming.

[bestclubowner]

dude, im playing 05 and i cant even differentiate my players. and u know u have the same problem too.

[bestclubowner]

also its a little frustrating to play a game where for

1. my players dont evendo crossovers and

2. i can never get a fast break

[bestclubowner]

also the commentary is the same 2 years in a row.

also the players are TINY. even 2004 was better.

[bestclubowner]

ok so im playing the game right now and i wll continue to point out whats wrong with it

1. the crowd is not cheering all the time. not even boos or anything. its just dead silence.

2. whenever u go in for a dunk theres contact. no clean dunks or anything

[bestclubowner]

ok im using dallas and i cant get my players to run down court for a fast break. tell me.. how is that realistic?

[bestclubowner]

oh yeah why do the players look like geeky nerds with HUGE feet and awkard bodies? and why is dirk missing a wide open dunk? and why is the net 4 feet long?

[bestclubowner]

every time i wanna do a direct switch i have to look around, squint and see who and where my players are. its like im playing in fog or something.
