do u people even realize what your missing?

[bestclubowner]

and why do i have to press the pass button 4 times before passing the ball in?

[bestclubowner]

and when i go in for a dunk theres contact my guy puts his back to his defender in the air, and throws the ball up in a circular motion. whats up with that?

[bestclubowner]

and why is the gameplay so damn slow? and why do they have a white streak all over their bodies? and why are the players so lanky?

[bestclubowner]

oh yeah, and why do the players show no emotion?

[Ruff Ryder]

And Why don't you make ONE post!?!?!

2003 is shit in a case.

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

1. At least the crossover has use in the game. If you don't make your players do crossovers, then they won't do them.

2. You have to push the ball to get a fast break. Maybe you should set your team strategy.

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

also the players are TINY. even 2004 was better.

The commentary is far better than 2003. 2003 had that loser guy that sounded so unrealistic.

Oh, the players are "TINY". Cry about it.

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

Usually the crowd cheers when your team is doing good. If you are the Kings in the Staples Center what the fuck do you expect?

2. In the NBA how many times do players go up for dunks with out contact? And FYI, I've done plenty clean dunks.

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

Set your team strategy.

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?

Why does Steve Nash look like Arnold Swartzenegger? Have you never seen a player miss a dunk? If you have a problem, adjust your damn sliders.

and why do i have to press the pass button 4 times before passing the ball in?

You don't. Maybe you should press instead of tapping.

and when i go in for a dunk theres contact my guy puts his back to his defender in the air, and throws the ball up in a circular motion. whats up with that?

Um, adjusting a layup in traffic genius.

and why is the gameplay so damn slow? and why do they have a white streak all over their bodies? and why are the players so lanky?

Change your sliders. The white is the lighting. Why are players so muscular in 03?

Why does Tim Duncan do windmills in traffic?
Why is the pace of the game so fast?
Why are the cyberfaces utter shit?
Why don't the players have tats?
Why can't you assign a player a headband?
Why at the beginning of dynasty mode the CPU signs fa's like they are at a buffet?
Why are generated rookies so unbalanced?
Why does Jay Williams do double pump dunks all of the time?
Why can Speedy Claxton reject Kobe Bryant so hard that the ball rolls all of the way down the court?
Why does Corey Maggette do 360 windmills in traffic?
And Why are you the only one that prefers 03 to 05 or 04?

[bestclubowner]

like i said i aint playing a crappy game just to defend ea. 05 is BULLCRAP. END OF STORY. there is absolutely nothing fun about nba live 2005 whatsoever and u know it too.

[Doug]

yah whatever seriously this thread need's to be closed cuz this loser right here can't stand at how unrealistic he wants to play a game called basketball seriously if u think nba is all about just dunking at will winning so easily and not playing defense then you dont know shit all about basketball and you obviously have it wrong nba live 2003 is bull crap nba live 2005 is amazing.

[ilya]

wow i love this
i love when someone tries to push their opinion on others
i love when the majority wins and yet the minority says they're right (presidential elections, anyone? couldn't resist...)

and wow i hate this
i hate how the blocks in 2003 were sent to half court
i hate how players didn't look like themselves
i hate the fact that the game was so bad i couldn't play it for an entire season (28 games season that is)
i hate how there was no 3pt shootout
i hate how the dynasty was so much worse than 2005.

anyways, the love-hate relationship goes on


oh yeah, i hate the guy who thinks he is always right. you have to respect other's opinions. that's all. you dont have to, by any means, agree with them. however, respect must be there

[bestclubowner]

and another thing. i dont like it how in 05 the players are all hunched over. they dribble like hunchbacks.

Well look at 03. You hit turbo and your player looks like a freaking aerodynamic dart trying to timewarp through hyperspace.

I take it that you've never watched a real NBA game. 99% of NBA Videogame fans want a realistic experience, but maybe a fun game on the side. That would be NBA Live or ESPN with NBA Street on the side. When you're a PC gamer all you have NBA Live, and since 99% of them want a realistic NBA experience, NBA Live Street doesn't quite cut it.

i wish i worked at the store where you going to trade in live 05 for live 03...i would probably laugh at you while giving you live 03 and then tell everybody in the store and theyll laugh at you on your way out the store. i would probably also put both of the games in the consoles so you can play them both in front of everybody and tell why its so much better than live 05.

[bestclubowner]

can u honestly say 05 is more fun than 03? u cant even do a crossover.

[-BHZMAFIA-]

ok so i guess freestyle control has nothing to do with the game

your basically using this thread to boost up your post count. if you like live 03 so much, just stay in the live 03 section of the forum and you can talk all the live 03 you want

just so you know, when basketball players dribble (in real life that is), they dont dribble standing up straight when they're being guarded. that's how you protect the ball, you put your body between the defender and the ball. just basic fundamental basketball which is exactly what live 2005 has done with dribbling.
if you dribble slow the players dribble standing up, and if you put some speed on it they "hunch over" as you said it. that is extremely realistic and one of my favorite features of this game.

when you get to highschool, go to some basketball games and you'll see just how realstic that is.

also, the crossovers aren't supposed to work everytime. if you played basketball you'd know. it's not the easiest thing to execute a perfect crossover, but takes timing and coordination and must be done in the flow of the game. which is once again something live '05 has accomplished.

[bestclubowner]

dude youll say 05 is so realistic etc. its NOT. the nba is FUN to watch. 05 is the most boring and stupidest game ive ever seen.

[bestclubowner]

no it hasnt. it hasnt accomplished CRAP. dude even espn is better than the crap youll whore

[Jeff_Hornacek]

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.

I tottaly agree when you talkg about faster gameplay an lots of fast break. What makes me mad is that I don't what's going on, but My players aren't running down the court and using the new animation tu ajust the step while running, I mean, they have to stop running to receive the ball. I was wondering if it is happening cuz I am not playing in the superstar level .

[bestclubowner]

theres a difference between bent over and crippled. the players in 2005 LOOK DEFORMED. its as simple as that. and whats up with their clown shoes?

[brad feet]

sigh.......... kids........ you'll have to understand them.....

this thread is so funny, i laugh at it every time i read a new post by this kid.

honestly, how old are you? 13 maybe? i undertand, this must be a tough time for you.. puberty and everything is getting to ya isnt it.


as far as clown shoes, well, i haven't noticed yet. perhaps your video card is so bad and your computer is too slow to process the graphics.

[bestclubowner]

nba live 2005 is like 2003 on medication. dull, stupid, and sick.

[Colin]

For the first half of this thread page, USE THE EDIT BUTTON!!!! IT'S THERE FOR A REASON. THERE'S NO NEED TO MAKE 10 POSTS IN A ROW. WE REMINDED YOU TOO MANY TIMES ALREADY!!!!

For the second half of the page, I just laugh. It's comical, really. It's like a Muslim arguing with a Christian (no offense to the religious).
