i spent hours and hours and hours using my fantasy draft team. damon stoudemire, corey maggette, tracy mcgrady, antonio mcdyess, and ben wallace... having ben wallace and tracy mcgrady was a done deal in this game LOL
Damn. I remember I bought NBA Live 2005 just because it had the slam dunk contest. Other than that, the graphics and gameplay just sucked. Then I bought this game and it was a lot better and I was surprised since it was only $19.99. I played this game every free time I had for almost a year.
Damn I remember these days here man I used to just zone out in my room at night just listening to the awsome soundtrack this game had lol but my team on here was Houston I used to clown with T-Mac
Is this game good? Ive been looking for a good NBA game for the PS2. I already have ESPN NFL 2k5 and since that game is awesome, i see if ESPN NBA 2k5 is any good.
DETROIT PISTONS!!! The good times 6 straight Eastern Conf. Finals then they get swept first round, then they don't make the playoffs. What an 8 years its been...
Best game in the series. dunno why they messed up after that. had the best post moves, dunks, layups, alley oops. presentation. 2k sports fell off on ps2.
@lilmarzet 2K NEVER FELL OFF. WITH OR WITH ESPN, IT'LL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN EA. 2K DOMINATED EA WITHOUT EFFORT. IT TOOK EA ALMOST 6 YRS TO COMPETE WITH NFL 2K5. THEY DON'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST NBA 2K GAMES.
Pistons only world champhionship before the team was dismantled when they traded Chauncey for A.I. and eventually the Lakers were dismantled taht summer with shaq winning a Championship 2 years later and now the Lakers have risen again to the top of the mountain.
I have both the PS2 and X-Box versions of this game and it is one of the best basketball games I've ever played. I might play this 2night in my dorm room...lol
is it just me or did anyone ever think the part at the end where they go OHH OHH BANG BANG was stuart scott. lol i back in the day i always thought it was him
man i used to have this game but it has COUNTless scratches... :(
when ever i play it it always freezes in the begining where they show all the teams. i restart it over n over and nuthin works!! man, i miss this game
rol4boyz is right it is truck and mack-bang all you have to do is look in the instruction manual of the game, i was lucky enough to find this on limewire
I love sports games! But really NBA 2k5 sucks except for the 24/7 Mode. NBA Live 05 was way better than NBA 2k5. I have 2k7 and 2k5 and 2k7 is way better, gameplay in NBA 2k5 really sucks.
oh oh oh! bang bang bang!

was 66-0 on 2k8
got to 28-0 on 2k9 before the gamer tag 76ersxxxAi9 drop glitched me after i was beating him by 35 in the 3rd quarter.
2k7 got to 75-2.
