Look at it this way, its 20$ and its the best bball game out this year
User Rating: 8.9 | ESPN NBA 2K5 XBOX
This is by far, without a doubt the best Basketball game this year. It is simply not a contest between NBA live and ESPN 2K5. 1) The graphics look much better than NBA live's graphics. When i was playing NBA live at a friends house the players looked so fake. 2) The gameplay is much better than NBA Live's even though there isnt a three point shootout or a dunk contest. 3) If you have xbox live then you can participate in some of the best online leagues ever created where u have standings, playoffs, statistics, trades, injuries, and all that jazz. but it does have some minor problems Playing the computer, when u are as good as i am, poses no real challenge and is easy to score on. Throwing the ball low to sum 1 7 feet or higher is almost a garunteed basket, but no always Alley Oops are unstoppable, and it gets annoying online Finally people cheat, and there are many ways in this game to cheat, so if u have online play, get in leagues for the most fun and sim experience
