Video Game Reviews of NBA Live 2004
Customer Review: Fun game but couple of flaws should be mentioned
Summary: 4 Stars
NBA Live 2004 for the pc is great. Many of the features in this game are way better than last year's struggling game. This game now features a better more simulated game. Last years was too quick, this years is much more on the defense and learning how to use plays correctly. Audio is much improved. I hated Don Poyer's commentary and his partner. This edition includes TNT's Marv Albert and Mike Fratello. Players look somewhat good. But YAO blocks anything, have himn on your team, he is really good!
Dynasty Mode is what is the best part of the game. Basically you are playing to win. At the end of your games you earn points for completing tasks during the game. Like if you get 2 off rebounds you get 15 points to use for more training or unlocking team clothing. (But is 150 pairs of shoes needed?). Also I enjoy the player cut sequences. If you release a player, it will show him leave the Team headquarters. When you draft a player, it will show the player shaking hands with the commissioner in the draft room. Some of these little things, make this game fun.
Problems are small, but when you miss a shot and the other team goes on transition, your players can't catch up. The other team gets a free basket. Also your offensive players can't dunk when there are defensive players there too. Very rarely do they make it.
Live is turning to be a great game. It should be gold in the next few years.
Customer Review: This Game Sucks.... NBA Live 2003 Rocks!
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not buy this game Nba Live 2004... It's not good at all, IT SUCKS... Players don't look good... User's Players' are not faster as Computers'... You will probably miss an easy open shot when you need it... Players don't dunk good... I hated this game so much... NBA Live 2003 is an awesome game... In NBA Live 2003 Your players are faster and good shooter and also good dunker... NEVER EVER BUY THIS NBA LIVE 2004.. I like NBA Live 2003 better than this one... I think EA Sports are getting worst as time goes becuase I tried NHL 2003 and NHL 2002.. but NHL 2002 is much better than NHL 2003.. I also tried FIFA 2000 and FIFA 2002 and in this case FIFA 2000 is much better than FIFA 2002.. EA Sports needs improvement in their games especially in NBA Live 2005Customer Review: NBA Live, good game or not?
Summary: 4 Stars
So many people say that NBA Live 2004 is a bad game. This is not true. Yes, it's true, there are some flaws to the game, but overall, the game is extremely well put together. However, here are some things that the people at EA Sports need to work on.1. Players need to be able to get back on fast breaks better. When I say this, I mean your players, not the computer's players. It seems that the computer can always get back on fast breaks much quicker than you or your team mates can.
2. The people at Ea Sports shouldn't do stupid things, like making your player miss a WIDE OPEN DUNK, and the computer hitting a completely contested shot. This does happen when you go up by 10 or more points, so just remember this.
3. The people at EA sports need to understand that when a man gets beat, another man can't come out of no where to block a dunk. Yes, it can happen sometimes, but with this game, it happens frequently.
4. EA Sports needs to create a downloadable patch to this game so that people can update their rosters and make the season exactly how it is now.
5. EA Sports developers need to find a way to get the crowd sound more realistic. They need to make them sound like they are actually at a basketball game. This needs to be done, especially when the team that you are controling makes it to the playoffs. If your team does bad, the developers should make it sound and look like there are less people at the game. This , and all of the other things that I have mentioned so far would make the game much more fun to play.
Everything else about this game was done extremely well. The commentary was good, and the graphics are also very good. The only other thing that the people at EA Sports need to work on is finding a way to do the starting line ups in every game and make the anouncers shine the spotlight on which ever player they want after the starting line up is finished. They also should try including pre-season games in dinesty mode. And when you substitute a player, you should be able to see him coming off the bench. It would make it look more realistic.
Customer Review: Only one flaw
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this game just like the 2003 and 2001 versions, I would hate to add up the hours spent on it. This year there is one flaw (that occured int he past two versions as well)When the game is on the line and Im down by 2, i WANT TO FOUL! But I cant. The computer does this all the time, but users cant. It is very annoying. I feel that this is the only flaw and hope that it can be fixed for 2005
Customer Review: The PS2 version must be better than pc if you say pc's bad.
Summary: 5 Stars
I recieved NBA live for Christmas and I'm loving it. Here are the cons and pros:cons: 1. You can't create a team
2. It's so hard to complete offensive rebounds.
3. Sometimes the computer guys will all of the sudden cut right through you but there's usually someone there to block him
pros: 1. You can edit players and make them as good as you want.
2. I can score more than 300 points on the rookie level in 48-minute games and you can too.
3. The legends pool is so great even though I wish they'd have George Mikan, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, and Kareem Abdul-Jabar.
4. I can make Ben Wallace block more than 20 shots a game and you can too.
5. You can choose any NBA arena to play in for any NBA team
6. I can make 75% free throw shooters shoot 99% from the line in one season and you can too.
7. I can make my players all shoot in the 60s and 70s and you can too.
8. I've made John Stockton steal the ball 35 times in one game and you can too.
9. I've made Michael Jordan score 120 and you can too.
I'm not trying to brag, my point is that it's so easy that if you don't like challenges (but if you do there are some hard levels too)You can all do as good as what I've done. I recommend this game to all NBA fans. Because they give all of the season awards in dynasty mode (unlike nhl).
