    maybe the best game out for the genre this year....BUT not good enough

    Its jam packed with content, and control is really tight. You'll quickly adjust to its automatic backdown feature.

    By DefenseMan222 | Review Date: Apr 16, 2005 | 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 ... Read Full Review

    By melo_211 | Review Date: Apr 03, 2005 | PS2

    Personally, I've never been a huge ESPN fan. Their sport games have never been as fluient and fun as EA games. But this year, there is no doubt that EA loses in both basketball & baseball. NBA 2K5 is a fresh game that ha... Read Full Review
