    Debating whether to get Live or ESPN...

    OK, i know most people are getting both. But me personally, I like to stick to one bball game. So i have a few questions...

    1.Has the speed been toned down? Last year I remember using the sliders to correct some player speeds. everyone seemed to blow by a defender.

    2.the mid-air collisons were whack. it just didnt feel realistic. everytime i went mid air and got bumped, i threw up this pathetic shot and missed. it just really looked ugly.

    3.is it less arcadey? specifically meaning in 04 i played online and most ppl just got the rebound, and threw a long pass and got an easy dunk.

    4.im really into shoes. since they have so many in nba live, i was wondering...during a franchise can i buy shoes and put them on my players? im not talking about create a player, since i never use that feature.

    in live 04 you had to go to edit and put the shoes on your players yourself..it was kind of a hassle.. plus i dont believe u were able to do this during franchise, i think you had to load a roster with edits for player's shoes.

    5.same question...kinda..can you put headbands on your players DURING a franchise?

    6.the shooting styles. i heard how there are 20+ shooting styles. BUT will you only see the shooting styles in the 3 pt contest ?? can you see peja or reggie miller shoot lifelike in a real 5 on 5 GAME? If this shooting style animation(s) is only for the 3 pt contest then thats kinda dissapointing...

        Seeing some of the videos speed look toned down. those mid air collisions are still there just not as much but i still see them, looks less arcadish this year, live is the place for shoes they put a whole ton this year and you can put it during franchise if its like 2004 just by the sneakers or head band then my nba live edit the player your set i know nothing bout the shooting styles hopefully they have everyones shootin style especially marion's it looks hilarious

        as for me im getting both espn and live cuz i heard espn with have the online franchise

            Well I liked LIVE better then ESPN last year, and I always loved the NBA 2k seriers, IM still getting ESPN this year, after watching more and more of the LIVE vids Im really liking LIVE again this year, I reall didn't care so much for the new ASW, but know Im looking forward twords it. I love basketball season.

                    i'll be getting Live next week, and get NBA 2k5 maybe a month later. Just Like i bought Madden, and just recently bought ESPN NFL 2k5 last weekend for 13.99 at Frys

                            I got answers:

                            For poor people get ESPN.

                            For people who want to have fun & mess round get LIVE.

                            For people who want to take the game seriously get ESPN.

                            For people like me who like both types get BOTH!
