Man! I’ve waited awhile for this package! I remember when LIVE had the 3-Point Shootout. It was fun but I really wanted the Dunk Contest on there. Well this game has everything the real NBA has to offer fans and players alike! It is the best B-ball game of all time! EA Sports remain at the top with this one. As far as “Michael Jordan” and the other things, there will be some codes released for the game soon that I’m sure will have a way to unlock Jordan along with the Shoes, Hardwoods etc. WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS HOW DO YA BOUNCE THE BALL OF THE JUMBOTRON ETC?? I know how to do everything else!

this will be one of the best sports games for a long while. I have always thought they should have a create a trick or create a dunk. the best nba live game ever will always be NBA Live ’98. If u have ever played it u will agree with me. theres a hand check button and u can knock guys over when u turn fouls off.

As an annual purchaser (some may say sucker) of the NBA Live and ESPN 2K series, I’ve found it interesting over the years how both franchises have gradually switched sides on the gaming spectrum. Once known for it’s focus on arcade-like game play, NBA Live 2005 is now even more in tuned with an actual NBA game in which defense wins championships. On the other hand, ESPN 2K5 is now all about flash where highlight-reel dunks and high-scoring games are the norm. But that’s for another review… However, if I’d have to choose between the two (geez, it’s like choosing between Jessica Alba or Jessica Biel), I’d have to go with NBA Live 2005 over the other.New to this year’s edition is the All-Star Weekend mode which includes the Slam Dunk contest, 3-Point Shootout and the Rookie vs. Sophomores game. The Slam Dunk contest by itself is highly addicting. I have the blisters on my thumbs to prove it. Though it’s quite difficult to pull off at first (thankfully there is a tutorial), once mastered, the different combination of dunks at your disposal are enormous. Some, obviously, are physically impossible such as banking the ball off the scoreboard, doing a cartwheel and catching the rock for a 360 between-the-legs jam. But it sure does looks neat. Alley-oops are by far the most difficult to accomplish because of the precise timing involved for it took me about an hour to finally pull one off.What really sets NBA Live 2005 apart from ESPN 2K5 is it’s “meat and potatoes” realism.

I have to go with ESPN this year for baseketball, by a smidgen. This game is basically average in every aspect. The graphics are average, the gameplay is average and the player rating system is just horrible. The real reason I ever play this game is for the slam dunk contest. It is a lot of fun and it is very addicting. The three point contest is a lot of fun too. I’d say this game is worth renting and now that the price has been lowered maybe buying, for the all star weekend mode alone. Here is how I rate this game.graphics: 75Player Rating system: 40gameplay: 70Dunk contest: 100three point contest: 95rookie challenge: 80commentary: 85freestyle control: 90overall: 85Espn barely beats it this year. If ESPN had the all star festivities in it, it would be perfect

NBA LIVE 2005 is one of the realist basketball games ever made on a video game. It has more moves, more dunks, and more features that you would have to see to believe. When playing this game, you could easily mistake yourself for being in a heated game of real life basketball. Freestyle air is one of the new features that are on the 2005 version of NBA LIVE. With freestyle air it is possible to get different types of new dunks, tip-ins, and you are able adjust your shot in mid-air for some spectacular finishes around the basket. For all of the high flyers that have been waiting, you can even get tip-dunks. Another new feature is the NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND. ALL-STAR WEEKEND is the most exciting part of a real NBA season, so it was good move to add it on the game. The dunk contest consists of every dunk from Tomahawks, Double Pumps, to Windmills. The three point shootout was also a good addition, because it helps you to perfect your jump shot by shooting at the top of your release. This game is so real that you actually run your own franchise. Not only that but you can even scout on rookies, which put even more control in your hands. You can lead your franchise for multiple seasons and become the mastermind of an unstoppable dynasty. Overall this game is a great game. If you are a basketball fan, NBA LIVE 2005 is a must have. If you are not good at first, work hard on your game. Don’t take it personal if you lose, because it is only a game. Leonard Miles

I just re-purchased this after owning it back in the day, and I’ve got to say this is still a really fun game. I played NBA Live ’18 recently and was left disappointed but craving more. 2005 has pretty solid play mechanics, is the first game that added the Charlotte Bobcats, and was the last game before they added a bunch of weird bells and whistles that ruined gameplay for me. Want to re-write history with your own franchise? This is the game for it!

This game added some awesome features, that are now fairly common (2011). The use of the right stick as a “trick stick” is pretty awesome. Also the dunk contest is pretty in depth and really fun once you get a hang of it.The game has ideas of NBA street (the trick stick and dunking), but plays much more rigidly and structured. I had the game for a while and got a lot of use out of it, especially with the online play and dunk contest!
