In my NBA Live 2004 retrospective, I summed up that game by calling it a tough act to follow. That's what makes NBA Live 2005 so impressive, as it met the standard of its predecessor and raised the bar even higher. Many would call it the best game in the NBA Live series, or at the very least, rank it somewhere in the top five, if not the top three. It's a reputation that's well-earned, as it improved upon NBA Live 2004 in just about every way possible, and still holds up extremely well over a decade later. It had a few issues of course, but it was still a great release, and remains a personal favourite of mine. Let's take a look back at another milestone game in the NBA Live series.
It's my last updated and revised retrospective; from NBA Live 06 onwards, it'll be completely brand new content! In the meantime, take a look back at NBA Live 2005, a truly outstanding release.
