One of the main problems in last year's game was the flow. Slow the game down Piston style, and you have a bump and grind game that might win you an NBA Championship, but doesn't make for a fun polygonal experience. Make the flow too fast, and you get an arcade dunkfest. To a basketball video game, it's everything. And I'll take that over the traditional ten-year tin or aluminum anytime. And so it's fitting, on Live's ten year anniversary, the game delivers to fans its best version to date. The crew at EA Canada managed to not only add in new modes, but fix the majority of play issues from last year to finally create the game Live fans have been waiting for since the game's inception ten years ago.
Don't be fooled, though, as Live is not just a one trick game…even if that trick enables you to perform windmills and 720 slams. A mode that's sure to go down as one of the most addicting new ways to spend your time in any sports game this year.Ī mode that helps make NBA Live 2005 a must-buy for sports gamers looking for something more than your typical 5-on-5 action. You have just won the Slam Dunk contest in All-Star Weekend. When the panel of celebrity judges are shown, dunk legends like Dee Brown give Spud (and the player controlling him) the props he deserves…a perfect 50. The crowd of players sitting on the floor jumps to their feet, some recording the moment on camcorders, some just waving their hands in the air in amazement. Spud takes the ball and swoops it between his legs, not only once, but twice in a figure-eight style motion before finally slamming it home. After snatching the ball, Webb, still in the air, decides to do The Doctor one better. He places the ball down on the ground, kick flips it up over his head and off of the Jumbotron to the right of the basket, but instead of going after the ball, performs a front handspring then leaps into the air to grab the rock. At 5-6, nobody ever expected Webb to be in the competition in 1986, and now, almost twenty years later, the virtual Spud is ready to fly again. J just scored a 49 with an alley-oop off of the backboard, between the legs jam, and now the pressure falls on the smallest man in the contest.
Spud Webb steps out onto the floor for his first dunk.
