Is Vince Carter wearing a All Star East jersey in the EA NBA Live 2005 commerical, instead of Raptors jersey? Yep. Someone really must’ve thought he was gonna get traded and didn’t want a “Steve Francis talks about watching the late SportsCenter because he’s playing in Vancouver” situation. Somehow, the uniform switch didn’t come up in ther interview EA did with him.
If there’s one series that really needed the defense upgrade that Madden promised1, the NBA one is definetly it. So…they worked on dunking.
I haven’t gotten into live since they moved on from the 3/4er camera angle 2. I guess I could understand the ability to just go 1 on 5 whenever you wanted at that level of processing, but it’s still the same way. Or was the last time I checked. Also, the franchise mode was tremendously under developed last year and they still don’t seem to have managed a full multi-player version of that mode this year.
1 – footnotes annoy Hobbes, and I won 91-0 the other day in 5 minute quarters. Eagles vs the Cowboys.
2 – though considering I once got lit up for 100 points by Brent Barry in that version, maybe I have misplaced fond memories.
