    Graphics are not as i expected them to be. Simulation in dynasty mode is slow. Managing team is a lot more comlicated.

    EA did their homework and pulled together a solid basketball game this year. There isn't much to complain about in NBA Live 2005. And with the addition of the Slam Dunk Contest, the replay value is huge.

    In one year, Live has really transformed its 5-on-5 game into more of a sim without losing the fun and flash of previous seasons, Dynasty mode has been revamped completely, and the AI across the board, from the trade scenarios to how players behave on the court, is far superior to any basketball game EA Canada has ever put out.

    Improved graphics, a deeper dynasty mode, and an All-Star weekend simulator that's genuinely fun to play.
