Best ESPN Basketball game? YES!!!
User Rating: 9.6 | ESPN NBA 2K5 PS2
I got this game yesterday, I played 2k3-2k5, and i have to tell you, this is the best basketball game that i ever played. This game tops any other 2k game. I remember how easy 2k4 was to play, i use to beat the computer by 30-40 points(on hard difficulty), but it seems like its impoissible to do that in this game. Its possible, but it rearly happens. One of the things that i didnt like from 2k4 is how easy it was to get by a defender, in 2k5, its not easy at all!! I'm telling you its hard, i had a hard time beating the game on normal. 2k5 caputers the fast breaks extremely well, i remember last year when you went for a fast break, the guy was like a step behind you, this time you can get ahead and throw it down with some HOT dunks. The sound is just awesome, the crowd makes the make sooo damn real. They cheer for you when your winning, but when your loosing they quiet down. Its funny how the other team scores and their up and the crowd is hype but when you dunk it or shoot a 3 point the crowd quiets down. The players faces also look incredible, it's crazy how they made their faces so good. Stealing is a little bit easier this time around, but you can still get called for reaching in. The thing i don't like that much about 2k5, is how its soo damn hard to get a block. The guy can be right infront of you and you jump up and you wont block their shot. But thats ok, the other stuff make up for this loss. I didnt play 24/7, so i can't really tell you about it, i'm just talking about the 5 on 5 gameplay itself. Overall this is a really good game, its the best basketball game i ever played, dont waste your time with Live, $40 for the All Star Weekend is really not wroth it, its seriously not. 2k5, is just an awesome game, i highly recomend it. 1 Tip: If you do get the game, play with the default camera angle.
