PS2 or PC

[sebassss]

gimme some help here

[Riot]

uh, XBOX

[PRoPuLsiOnDJ]

definitely PC .... there's no comparison there

This could go in NBA Live 2005 issues.

If your PC's specs are worthy, I'd recommend the PC version for the patches and the ability to edit the rosters outside the game by modifying the DBF files.

Buy both !!

pc version is 10 times better tho

It depends on how good your PC is. If you have a powerful P4 3G cpu and graphic card like Geforce FX 5900, you should get the PC version because you get much much better graphic and loads of patches to make the game even better. If you only have a Pentium3 PC you should definitely go with PS2 version.

I have a great PC and a PS2, i will get LIVE 05 for PC and ESPN NBA 2K5 for PS2, it's going to be a fun year.~~~

PC

[[Q]]

you actually had to think about it?
PC baby

[Sauru]

no console can compare to a pc so the choice is always clear. only reason imo to buy console games is if they are console exclusive or come out on the console many monthes earlier(gta anyone?).

[GordonBulls]

PS2!!!

[Hotshot]

The grapics usually looks much crisper and more polished on the PC version. Plus you get to download and install all sorts of patches... that in itself adds a little replay value to the game. And if you have a dual analog gamepad, you can have the best of both worlds

alt tab for the win

The last Live I played for PC was 2001. Sucked. The last of any Live I played was 2002 for PS2, sucked. The last Live game that I liked was 2000 for PC. I was forever converted into a 2K fan...........until I just recently played Live 2004 on the PC.

I just got an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro to play Doom3 (X800 is too damn expensive) and copped Live 04 for the hell of it, maybe hoping for a little bit of nostalgia of the 99 and 2000 games I loved so much. I have to say that I'm loving this game. It runs ultra smooth even at the highest resolution on my PC (looks 10x sharper than PS2), and with all of these patches, I'm in love.

So having this game for about a week, I'm having so much fun, and am constantly checking the sites for updates on 2005. SO.......if you ghot the specs, get it for PC!!!! I'm back Live, sorry I left ya, but you sucked from 2001-2003, lol.

[sebassss]

thanks, PC it is

[Snilrch]

PC by far.

The ps2 can't compete with even mid-level PCs as far as gaming goes. I don't even have a bleeding edge machine and I have no problems playing any game on the PC at jawdropping speed levels, and the graphics are all MUCH better than the PS2 or Xbox.

Specs:
Athlon 64 3000+ (no overclock neccessary yet)
Chaintech VNF250 mboard
1gb Corsair Value Select ram
128mb Leadtek Geforce 6800 8x agp video board
250gb Maxtor UATA133, 8mb cache
480w Aspire PSU w/blue leds
8x Memorex DVD+/-R RW (40x cd read/write rate)
Aopen 52x CDRW drive
Thermaltake Tsunami case, black with side window
Logitech MX700 Cordless duo mouse & kb
Logitech Wingman Cordless
House brand 70w 5.1 speakers

Sure, I spent over $1k building this system, but as far as games go, it's a bloodletting machine, and I can do anything else I need, from biz apps to 3d Bryce/Poser rendering to everything else a computer should do.

A PS2 is a specialized and limited machine. A basic NBA Live2k5 capable machine (much better/faster than any PS2) should cost less than $400 to anyone (and $300 to anyone with a little tech saavy).

Go PC, young man!

That's a nice system bro. i recently updated my system as well: Everything has been ordered --my buddy is gonna put it together when I go home next weekend.

*AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 512k L2 Cache
*MSI nForce3 250 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Athlon 64 Socket 754 CPU, Model "K8N Neo Platinum" (MS-7030)
*Corsair Value Select 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200
*ATI RADEON X800 PRO 256MB DDR AGP Graphics Card
*8XDVD Burner

I can't wait to try Madden 2005 and Live 2005 on this rig. I've been debating about the video card for awhile, but I decided to go with the ATI card in the end. IMHO, ATI makes Direct 3D games look a lot better than Nvdia. But, if I'm not happy with it--I have 30 days to return it to best buy and i'll get the BFG Geforce 6800 GT OC.

By the way, the best version will be the PC!

XBOX because it has the realist graphics out of all the system.

XBOX because it has the realist graphics out of all the system.

PS2 < XBOX < PC.

if you don't understand that analogy, try this:

1.PC
2.XBox
3.PS2

Damn, that was funny. Anyway, I think it depends on what kind of gamer you are. Common sense would probably tell us that PC is the way to go. Better graphics and patches, patches, patches galore make it a good choice..........

But what if you're a gamer who like playing with friends? Every year my friends and I play an NBA Live tournament. We create our own teams, have a draft, and a 50 game season that leads to the NBA Finals where we determine the champ. It's hard to imagine 3-8 dudes all crowded around my monitor........

Also, what do you prefer? I'm a console guy through and through (XBox), though, seeing the almost endless replay value of the PC version through patches makes me think about changing religions. It all depends on what you want out of NBA Live and how and where you play it. Do you play more 1 player than multi player? Etc. etc. etc..........

[Bl@ck_Thorne]

PC all the way no one can compete with the PC

[Jay-Peso]

I picked PS2 because I will start out with PS2 and sooner or later buy the PC version if I got enough money.
