NBA Live 2005

THE GOOD:
Heavily detailed editing section.
The excellent graphics of the ballers.
The licenses used well on : Gear/Kicks etc...
The effort put into the All-Star Weekend.
The longetivity.
The amount of unlockables.

THE BAD:
The choice of in-game music.
The relatively non-existant help in training modes.
The unrealistic gameplay.

SUMMARY:
Im in a mixed opinion over NBA Live 2005, after purchasing ESPN NBA 2K5 earlier in the year (of which I heavily enjoyed), this offering by EA Sports is disappointing and certainly does not match upto Sega's efforts of ESPN. The first thing you notice upon entering this game, is the amount of effort EA have put into making this game as 'flash' as possible - by that I mean the likes of 'Slam-Dunk School', 'Freestyle Mode' and '1 on 1' options.

Freestyle mode concentrates on a 1 on 1 offering, and the way to win is to dunk and get as many points as possible.

Slam-Dunk...
