User Rating: 8.4 | NBA Live 2004 PS2
Coming off last year's NBA Live 2004, this one has completely changed. Updated rosters, more features, and what surprised me the most was how real this game played. Last year's 2003 had alot of flashy graphics, but didnt quite look "live" as some of us wanted. This 2004 edition may well be the best constructed NBA Live, plays so real; which makes this game so special compared to the prequels. Once again, the game follows it's seasons, exhibitions, 1on1, ect... modes. The one thing you should know about the Gamecube version is that it may well be the worst version... (I'm not being prejudice to gamecube, infact I ONLY own a gamecube but played other versions as well) The controls are alright, could be learned easily if you get used to, but it doesnt quite fit well. The graphics arguable do look awesome on the gamecube, but the rest doesnt fit in as well. If you have the three major consoles, you might consider getting the Ps2 version. Although the slow loading is in the way and some graphical problems, PS2 version fits the best out of three. Same for the Xbox version, but once again, you might be frustrated because of the loading time which doesnt matter so big. To my conclusion; NBA Live 2004 is a great game, continues to improve year by year, and should not be missed by a NBA game fan. Have fun!
