ESPN NBA 2K5
SCORE: 80
Wasn’t that live stream Teen Gamer and I
did of ESPN NBA 2K5 really cool? Don’t know what I am talking about?
Then click
here right now. I am impressed with sports games from this
era on the Xbox. ESPN NBA 2K5 is also on the Playstation 2. The computer
plays some pretty good defense in ESPN NBA 2K5 too. Do not expect to
drive to the hoop on every possession. The Association is the franchise
mode in ESPN NBA 2K5. Playing with a star feels different than a third
stringer in ESPN NBA 2K5.
The presentation in ESPN NBA 2K5 is good for its era. The announcers are
enjoyable to listen to while we are playing this basketball video game.
The players look and animate in a very real way. The fans look decent
and the cheerleaders are half dressed. I loved being able to play some
of the cool teams like the Seattle Supersonics in ESPN NBA 2K5. The NBA
really messed up with that team. Their history with honor, integrity,
transparency and dignity has not been very good.
The more I played ESPN NBA 2K5 on the Xbox the more I got into it. This
basketball game feels like a basketball game. Players can never relax
with whatever lead they have. The other team can scrap their way right
back into it and the next thing you know you went from comfortable lead
to trailing in the fourth quarter. Those emotions are not very fun in my
opinion.
It is a shame Sega is no longer part of this franchise. It is also a
shame ESPN has run their name through the mud. Thankfully we can still
go back and play basketball in games like ESPN NBA 2K5. We pop in a disc
and do not need to worry about servers, updates, or a company no longer
letting us play what we purchased. ESPN NBA 2K5 is selling really cheap
as well. I bought ESPN NBA 2K5 for under three dollars with a case and
manual.
