User Rating: 5.5 | NBA Live 2004 PC
WHY? why do i subject myself to the pain and suffering EVERY SINGLE YEAR? Maybe its just me. Maybe I am stupid. but every year, being a huge NBA fan, I impatiently wait for the PC version of NBA live to come out. No difference this year. I wait for so long, rush to buy it hoping maybe this will be the year it is actually worth it, and today I play for 3 hours, and I HATE IT. Why is it so hard to make an NBA game fun? or smooth? Maybe I am spoiled by the engine Madden uses, and how realistic it can be. But NBA LIVE 2004 is a complete dissapointment and a waste of money. How can I describe it? passing stinks. NO nba player passes like that. its the same every time. It takes about 1.7 seconds to run from one side of the court to the next. Shoot is fine. there is now a dunk button, wow. But everyone crowds the paint so its hard. The music is annoying. the crowd is a 2d cardboard poster. i don't know what to do right now ... i guess its Call of Duty for the next 6 months. oh and yea you can't even create your own team! and uh hem, what the hell is this preseason training camp. you can't even do it! wow, we get to adjust the sliders! my opinion ... don't bother with this game. just pretend to play a fun NBA game. your imagination would undoubtably give you many more hours of entertainment. sorry EA I am a fan, but not a fan of NBA live 2004.
