Why did everyone love NBA Live 2005 so much? 

Hell yeah!

That right there says it all

Facts

Double between the legs dunk ftw

The days and hours me, my brother, and cousin Johnny would put into the dunk contest. That shit was lit!

You know what that makes a lot of sense. Live 05 perfectly mirrored how great the NBA was at the time. Legends like Kobe, Shaq, Dirk, Yao, Vince Carter, TMac, Garnett, AI etc. were in their primes and young stars like LeBron, D wade, Bosh, D Howard, Melo etc. were on the rise. The dunk contest was the icing on the cake.

Steve Nash was my favorite player back then, I use to always love to play with him and Amare

Monk Man his jumper was wet as water.

@@SharksPro123 right his 3 was money

Then came that 2006 NBA season where everyone had monster offensive numbers because of the handchecking rules being tweaked again. Everybody was getting buckets, it was a cool time

Game came out in 2004

@@MIGGYME1 2004 was good for gaming too

Throw it off the titantron too shit was fye as hell

That game was the shit i was on my Jr. Year in high skool in 2005 I had that game personally of course NBA live was running shit bck then now 2k on top of they shit pal.

Boy those city street games were liiiiiit

Don't take it so serious it was bad in real life but way better in the video game

Loved it my last year playin any video game

it also had BLAO

I hate that I remember it so well it's nostalgic. Getting old! Ugh

Fabolous bodied that intro....best soundtrack of all time. We used to hit the park, open up the Tahoe by the court, blast this top to bottom while the grill was popping. You cant recreate the year 2003. My favorite non 90s year ever. Exactly half my life ago. 15 years fly by so fast. 15 was the life.

I still think Live 03 has the best soundtrack. It's brings back so much nostalgia for me. Live 05 soundtrack was very good too though.

@@kang6914 05 is a close 2nd......04' had some gems too.

Carter bby

animegenius PROD. Nostalgia

04 trash

8th grade here too. Great game to grow up with

BigBad Bryant fuck you!!

Bro this game is dopeeee fr and I’m 19. Played it growing up with my big cousin and also NBA 2k11 is my favorite 2k

Agreed. Strongly agreed.

of course

First and last live i played on xbox

*No sh**#t** sherlock*

@@kaiupnxt why did you censor yourself?

06 was good but the Signature skills were too OP. I can easily score 100 with Ginobili back then. 07 was a bit better, but 08 was just bad for me personally.

No love for 03??

04 trash

2004 was best.

Young Bossman601 03 was better then 04 and 06

Celestial Eatos 2k5 was the good that year too

Idk about that. Madden 04 was fire and so was Madden 03 with Faulk on the cover. Personally I liked 09/10 too. I stopped playing after that. Vince Young on 08 wasn’t that bad either, that’s when they brought precision passing and qb escaping. Madden 07 was decent also with Shaun Alexander and the intro to truck stick

and nfl 2k5 is the greatest football game of all time

Facts EAs prime

I remember all the og covers George, Dante, Marshall👑, Vick👑👑, Ray 👑👑, McNabb👑, Shawn, Young, Farve👑 and Larry Legend👑 Madden kinda lost it after they went to 360/pS3. I can do this with live too I remember these games were staples in our gaming library

Fab KILLED tha intro...that soundtrack was too poppin. In a time when Rap + R&B was SMOOV

Damm

@@kwajotube Faaacts bro, that intro song was sick as hell without a doubt.

WE BALLIN BOYYYYYY

@@directordank and Snoop Dogg’s “Get Live!”

Man with The plan faxx

Tashon Little is that the one with the superstar moves?

Don't forget the handles in 05 was also crazy and lit.

I've played 05 back n the gap. N u rite. N i got 06. N the d on there just as hard as 05.

@@easymoneycroomy Facts. So realistic too.

@@keithbell344 Yup. Dynasty mode was so in depth too. Such a fluid gameplay.

06 seemed good at the time but I replayed it and doesn't hold up. the gamplay is trash

Facts fam

Did you know you do an alleyoop to yourself

This was my Senior Year of High School, the only year I ever started any games. I vividly remember during that time period, Grant Hill having a major career resurgence and starting the All Star game, Antoine Walker traded back to the Celtics mid season and the Celtics immediately went on like an 8 or 9 game winning streak (including an intense win against the Steve Nash Suns) and Shaquille O'Neal Heat was the biggest bandwagon team in the league.

Goddamn I was in the 4th grade😂😂

Kawhi Leonard's Laugh Eh heh HUH he heh

Lol no you weren’t? You didn’t go to college until 2009

I was born. I'm 13.

t mac cover was very nice ..i think 07 or 08

You tripping the one with t Mac was the ending for 2k and live 06 wad trash af....

08 sucked to me.... but every other one you named I enjoyed.

Darkell White you may be right I havent played it in a min but 2K8 was way better

@@calvinluciano 2k8 was trash too lol....I had both.

Darkell White lol im hipp

Thank u so much 4 clearing this up bro

On PS2?

Edwin Chavez ehhh I had both played 2k mostly. I wasn’t a fan of Lives arcade gameplay.

Annoying af.

Thats what i was saying... like a black dracula

lmfao shit is weird as fuck they think they’re being different

Lmaoo

Lmaoo

I prefer Live 04. Live 05 was good to keep sim stats etc. The main issue was the little to no fast breaks and every team almost played the same. In Live 04, the fast breaks were toned down a little compared to 03 and superstars were taking the majority of the shots.

Live 05 was sweet with the all Star weekend but live 04 was my game spent so many hours playing dynasty mode on there

Live 04 was the last live that had Jordan on it, if I'm not mistaken.

Monk Man yeah I think so I remember Jordan was in the legends pool on live 04

I still play live 04 sometimes it's funner than a lot of new basketball games I remember the dynasty mode in the off-season if you skip over signing free agents sometimes star players were unsigned you could sign them for 1 year at the minimum points live had points back then instead of actual money for contracts I had a Lakers dream team Shaq Malone traded Kobe for LeBron Rick Fox and trash for Wade and Payton then I got Iverson for the minimum in off-season won back to back then lost conference finals and stopped playing

How?

That's my favorite

It is

I remember evryone sasying live 06 was the greatest. This my 1st time hearing everybody loved 05. I had 98 and 07 so i fucked up a lil

I remember the PS2/Xbox version of 2K6 was also better than the 360 version. I remember buying the Xbox version at launch, and then trading it in when I got my 360 on launch day (I preordered the system over a year in advance despite being in high school with no job and by launch day had stashed away enough cash to casually stroll into Gamestop and pick it up - this was when there was considered to be a massive shortage of 360 consoles) When I got home and put in the brand new version of 2K6, I was actually pretty disappointed that it was a downgrade in many ways. Even the net physics were worse. 2K7 fixed all of that disappointment luckily.

04, 05, and 06 was the golden years for Live

Live 06 issue were the newly added weapons. Problem was that superstars that had multiple weapons were only designed to get one weapon per game. Fortunately, in Live 07 they somewhat fixed it by selecting on the fly which weapon you want to use but that game as a whole was bad. I think Live 04 was the best during that time because it expanded from Live 03's engine.

bigdinlaca you know what bro I forgot about that feature in 06 and everybody would pick the suns that year and cheat 😂😂

Lit wasn't a thing back then.....you must have been sacred and confused in 2004.

Maybe not for you. Ludacris even said it on Stand Up which came out back in 2003. Nice Try.

You probably said clout also back then cuz your ahead of the game...n bruh...plus you had the first Twitter account

Niggas said clout back in the 80's. You just young and dont know what you talking about lol

Cthe word clout has existed before the 80 u mallenial

Jacob Gutierrez you blind as hell 🤦🏾‍♂️

@@trillkevin193 issa joke

@@PlusOnWhiff-That's fine. I don't want any changes to this excellent game!😃

Noo, live's graphics today are much worse. Considering that live 05 legit looked like real life to me when it came out.

STFU 😂
