WOW

Only thing is, that at this point I'll believe it when I see it. Last year they made promises that weren't kept, and looking at the long list of things to be included in this game it sounds amazing. If they can get even 3/4 of all those things into the game it'll blow 2k4 completely out of the water.

But even with the long list of improvements I'm still left scratching my head wondering if they'll allow people to use different cameras when playing each other online. That would be another big addition that was expected in 2k4 and I'd love to see in 2k5. I'm not a fan of making the blind throws without the passing zoom-out in 2k4, not to mention using the side cam on D to play as a corner.

ESPN rewrote the entire graphics library for the Xbox version of the game for 2005. That's right, started from scratch. The reason is simple: Every year the game was designed with the PS2 as the lead platform, then ported over to the Xbox. This move obviously didn't take advantage of the Xbox's superior graphics engine, so this year, the Xbox version was designed as the lead SKU, enabling the designers of the game push the Xbox engine to the max.

I don't know how they could pull the different camera view off.. be grateful with this greatness.

And whoever said that they use scraps from last year just bumped my love for this game another notch.. that is why the faces/bodies kinda don't match.. when they make all the new faces this is going to be badass.

one of my fav parts of the preview-

"you will even be able to unlock touchdown celebrations that you can then assign to your players before a game. That's right, ESPN is about to take custom celebrations to an unheard of level, as you begin the game with 40 selectable dances from the worm to the slam dunk. Like I said, you can then assign different dances to different face buttons and bust-a-move on your opponent from the end zone. Buy new dances with your points, then use them late in games to further humiliate opponents"
