Where the graphics stand out most is the All-Star weekend mode, which we’ll get in to more detail later. Player models seem to have been nicely upgraded as well, with incredible detail to faces, body art, and every little detail you’d expect from the recognizable faces of the NBA. The players realistically reflect off the shiny hard wood and the overall environment of the arena seems even closer to the real deal.
#NBA LIVE 2005 GAMEPLAY UPGRADE#
The biggest noticeable upgrade this season is the incredible polish and detail on each individual NBA arena. In either case, while nothing revolutionary, the dynasty mode provides enough detail to get the job done for most hoops fans.
Sticklers for depth will enjoy this added facet, while gamers just looking to play ball may pass it over entirely. The other new touch is rookie scouting, where you can hire up scouts and decide firsthand who exactly you want to build your dynasty around. This adds a realistic touch, but those who like the quick-fix trade may either be stuck waiting it out, or simulating up to a couple days ahead to find out if your Kwame Brown for Shaq trade goes through or is turned down faster than a Shawn Kemp paternity test. You may propose trades to other teams, but no longer is it an instant accept or decline, but rather the other team ‘reviews’ the trade for up to a couple days, and gets back to you on your handy device with news as to whether or not they’ll accept the trade. In a bizarre twist, proposing trades requires a ‘wait and see’ through your PDA. Your PDA is the place to get league news and communicate with players, coaches, and other league managers.
#NBA LIVE 2005 GAMEPLAY SERIES#
New to the Live series is the oft-present in other sports genres via the PDA.
The dynasty mode is back as always this season, and is presented in a style similar to virtually every sports game that has been on the market the past year. Celebrating its tenth anniversary this season, NBA Live 2005 debuts this year on Xbox Live, adds some innovative new features, and makes some gameplay tweaks that may alienate some loyal fans to the series.
