Play above the rim in one of the top basketball games around. Take to the court with all of today's players and superstars from the last 50 years of the NBA, including Magic, Larry Bird and Dr. J.Freestyle Air boosts your control of offensive rebounding and makes battling for position in the post much more important. This nifty enhancement lets you decide on the fly -- literally -- whether you want to rebound, dunk or tip-in a missed shot. In the past, the CPU made this call for you. On offense, you can switch in mid-air from a lay-up to a dunk or from a dunk to a lay-up. Baffle those defenders, y'all. NBA Live 2005's All-Star Weekend is practically a game in itself. The all-new Slam Dunk Contest pits your favorite player against three others to see who has the best moves and most creativity. Without a doubt, impressing the jaded judges is difficult. You'll need to master the moves to score a perfect 50. With endless combinations of moves for your dunk, timing is of the essence. If you can't put the ball through the hoop, it's tough for the judges to give you anything but a big, fat zero. NBA Live 2005 features other challenges from the All-Star Game Weekend, including the 3 Point Shootout, Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Game itself. Outside of the 25-year Dynasty Mode, Season and Playoffs options, challenge any player in the game to a 1 On 1 showdown. Play Magic v. Bird, Shaq v. Kobe or Carmelo v. LeBron in a street ball. Call your own fouls. The gameplay exceeds expectations. Moving the C Stick makes your player perform special dribbles and spin moves. Blow by a defender and go for the slam. If you miss a shot, your big man has several options. He can do pull the rebound down. You can make him tip the ball back toward the basket. Or, if you're in good position, have him slam the rebound into the basket. We don't recommend stuffing the ball into the opponent's basket. Earn points to unlock retro and practice jerseys, shoes, socks, and other accessories in the NBA Store You can also retire jerseys to pay tribute to your franchise NBA Live 2005 players.
Bottom Line EA consistently breaks the backboard on basketball video games, and this year's NBA Live is no exception.
