I've been reading all this crap about how unbelievable the slam dunk contest is on NBA LIVE 2005 and I just can't stop thinking, is this what really makes the game!? I've been an IGN Insider for some time now but I'm really starting to distrust their reviews. Under the title of the NBA LIVE 2005 review it reads something like "the dunk contest makes this game a slam". Come on. I'm sure its very, very cool. And I won't even begin to say that I don't care its not in ESPN, I do care. I wish ESPN had the feature (All-Star Weekend), but it by no means makes or breaks the game. I'm just fed up with all this hype about this feature because of the fact that making such a big deal about a feature like this puts more pressure on the developers next year to improve or include new ones instead of working on perfecting the gameplay. Fluff, fluff, fluff and more fluff. Gimmicks, gimmicks, gimmicks and more gimmicks. The more attention paid to mini-games like this, the further away from a sim we'll get in the futre. That's my only concern. Bottom line is, I'm getting ESPN today, LIVE will be on the shelf next to it, and I won't even pick it up to see the back of the box.

You should just play the game first and the slam dunk contest first before you judge it, I am a long time LIVE and NBA2k player, but I haven't really played live over the years until last years game, wich was better then ESPN subpar effort IMO. Anyway I was saying the same thing about the salm dunk contest myself, I was like who cares and stuff like that. After watching the latest vids on the SDC I was like you know what that **it looks pretty hot, thats why Im buying both games this year. There are some things about LIVE I like and there are things about ESPN that I like, you may say what you wan't about the SDC, I can also write and say how much the 24/7 mode stinks and is worthless in my eyes, wich I really think it is cause I never use it at all. Anyway I know some of us aren't rich and don'y have a lot of money, but do yourself a favor and pick up both games if you can spare the dough you can't go wrong at all, both games are going have things you may like better then the other one. Thats why I'm getting both games and I know I play both and be happy.
