OFFICIAL NBA LIVE VS. ESPN 2K5 Head to Head Showdown:

[Donte Thomas]

Live is the winner, no doubt. They may have the faces sort of identical, but no one cares about that, well i don't, i just wanna play, i don't complain about the shoes, or anything, i just wanna play. here, people have posted it before, let's say it again.
NBA Live 2005>>>>>>>>>>>ESPN 2K5.
EA Sports>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sega Sports
It's not like people just buy the game just to look at how realistic the characters look, they just play the game by watching replays all day. and anyway, when you're playing you can't see the players face.
I like NBA 2K4 and their series, well, *failed the lie detector test* but Live has better graphics, and well they're just better than Sega Sports, Sega Sports sucks.

but live is the best in everything.
