Description
To dominate in the Association, one must be able to create, reinvent, and evolve their game to overcome all opponents and obstacles. Staying the course is a formula for mediocrity, and setting the path ultimately leads to success. Re-introducing the king of the court, ESPN NBA 2005 will change the way we experience the virtual basketball game forever with a host of new graphical and gameplay improvements never before seen in sports videogames. Let the next movement begin.

It's made by the ones who made ESPN NFL 2K5! If so,this might be a real good Basketball game to get.I bought NBA jam and like it,But want a bit more realism in a basketball game.This may be one to get for me,and I'm not really into the NBA but I like Xbox NBA games though

When comparing the best selling basektball games on the XBOX or even PS2 market, you find that there is so much competition between ESPN NBA 2K5 and NBA Live 2005. So then you begin to place the detailed specs side by side and grasp the one that first hits your attention. To me it was ESPN, because of the awareness towards price listings and such. For such a compact and time-worthy game, you almost feel like your ripping off Sega. ESPN being 15 dollars, and Live being 30 dollars. The Graphics are the most dazzling spec offered by ESPN. There is no comparison between NBA Live, because for the past 2 years, there have been no show of improvement from the lack of depth the graphics express. At least Sega has improved them from last year. Graphics: 9/10 The Gameplay is very fun at times. You find yourself playing the game in increments of time, rather than consecutive hours. It's a basketball game and all the games are pretty much the same, depending on your style of gameplay. I personally have not played one of the most talked-about game option called 24/7. I've nibbed at 24/7 a little and tried experimenting with it, but I don't really have fun playing 1 on 1 games against the CPU. I like to strategize and work with a 5 man team, making it feel like your there, juking your opponents out. 8/10 The Sound is mediocre. The commentary is very repetitive and can drive you to the extreme where you just want to go to "gameplay options" and turn off game commentary. Bill Walton does have some comments that give a little spaz to the game. The sound of the crowd is really realistic, because when a team begins a roll, or nears the end of a clenching game, the crowd roars depending on weather your team or the opposing team is playing home. When a cold streak hits a team, the crowd dies, and the amplitude decreases. The music tracks are pretty good too. Nothing featured by many mainstream artists, but the songs give a good beat for the game. 8/10 So overall this game can be very very fun, but you'll find yourself being caught up in a great game, and then later pushing it aside until your real love of the game brings you back to its experience. XBOX Live is also very fun, especially if your really good at it, because the competition can get really serious and dominant.

First off, the graphics. They are the best and most detailed I've ever seen in video games (or maybe I just played the bleeping 2001 EA games too much). Sometimes they are somewhat over-the-top (i.e. Donyell Marshall's hilariously high-arched eyebrows making him like he was sucking a lemon while getting a face lift), but almost all of the player models are extremely well-detailed, and some player's faces portray something beyond their physical appearance, like an emotion. The animations during gameplay (excluding some dunks from the free-throw line that go way too quick) are realistic, and very sensitive to your commands. Very good stuff here. The sound is good, the best parts coming from Bill Walton and Bob (or is it Bill?) Fitzgerald. Walton has some hilarious criticisms of a play that just happened, and "Fitz" is good. I don't want to diss Michelle Tafoya, but I've never thought "on-court" or "on-field" commentators were that necessary for anything but injury updates (Pam Oliver and Jill Arrington are hot, though!) The gameplay is very good, and quite easy to pick up. Some players (like Jalen Rose, and sometimes Krstic) inexplicably miss about every shot they shoot, and in Rose's case, about every believable jumper he shoots. However, I will give tremendous kudos to ESPN for making the players more balanced in terms of scoring. Everybody can hit chip shots, and short jumpers. This is one of the better parts, as most games (like the EXTREMELY flawed computer version of NBA Live 2001, where making a layup was almost impossible) base even easy shots on whether the player has a good "close range" rating. I usuallly do well without the special moves, and I think it's better without (maybe one here and there), but for the most part, you get travels with the hop step and charges with the Isomotion or whatever it is. The game also encourages a lot of passing and distribution of the ball, instead of giving to a big post player like Shaq and having him dunk it every play, which is terribly dull. You also score a lot more when you equally distribute shots and keep the defense on their toes. Overall, I find this to be the best NBA game, if not the best basketball game (I haven't tried College Hoops yet!). The commentary and crowd make every game a pleasure to participate in. This is a great one; unless you like arcade crap, this a fantastic basketball game.

Always love 2k find a old xbox box at work so I wanted this 2k again

..and im saying this as NBA Live 08' and NBA 2K8 are going to be released in a few months. this game is by far the best basketball game ever made, period. an EXCELLENT Association Mode and jam PACKED with Side features...like the very creative 24/7 mode. i actually ended up playing a season in Association Mode that went from 2004 to 2019 (i had to make a new one because i wanted the team chemistry off)....and my roster had advanced from having current nba stars...to having nothing but people i had picked up in drafts when all the current stars retired. its like the game RE-INVENTS people in the draft every year...and after 15 years, there are no current NBA stars...but only players that have been drafted year after year. Remarkable. once you set all the Gameplay levels to the way you would like to play the game...this game is thee absolute Greatest game ever made. even the NBA 2k7 thats out now can not compete with this game. theres something about the 2k company and the year 2005...because both nba 2k5 and nfl 2k5 came out EXCELLLENTTTT...and are both the best sports games in their respective sports. iLL .
