@@TheGameCube64Guy "Shaq took his talents to South Beach", lol isn't that what LeBron said in the infamous THE DECISSION? He said "I will take my talents to South Beach":
I went into this game; a while back; updated all the rosters; adjusted the ratings each team; every player; took HOURS but so worth it. Plus this game is the greatest ever.
I loved these early to mid 2000’s NBA Live games. The intros ruled. NBA Live 2004 was my favorite. I loved the intros when they did the “EA Sports..... it’s in the game!” And they had different players from the league talking to the camera. That was so great
Andre nuggets 2002-2003 record (no melo) - 17-65 nuggets 2003-2004 record (with rookie melo)- 43-39 cavs 2002-2003 record (no lebron) - 17-65 cavs 2003-2004 record (with rookie lebron) - 35 - 47
The dunk contest has always been better than any 2k design. I hate the dunk contest on 2k. I mastered the nba live slam dunk contest at 13. I’m now 26 and struggle with 2k’s lol, unnecessary controls.
You Broke don’t remember playing dunk contest in 2k9. But since we’re throwing out dunk contests from diff basketball games. Then, I would have to say that NBA Street Vol. 2 has the best dunk contest platform out of them all. I wish they would bring back more basketball video games, we had a plethora of options and games to buy and enjoy back then.
Fun fact: Slavko Vraneš is that tall bearded guy in "never celebrate too early" clip. I remember him playing for Partizan when we played in Euroleague semifinal. Good old times (I'm Partizan fan). Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/k2L2l8XHBC8/видео.html
Gotta disagree, bro. When live 98 debuted the three point contest, it was pretty awesome. But it was just a modified existing mechanic. It is still the same today as it was then. Live 05's dunk competition was revolutionary. It was an entire new mechanic designed to give the player control in crafting dunks. There were also hidden gems you could find, (double eastbay, behind the back), when you hit the right combination of setup, gather, and style. The ability to practice in this mode was vital, because you could just sit and create-a-dunk all day. It was a blast. If this mode existed in a modern game, dunk competition multiplayer would be a thing.
Troy your videos always make laugh. I started watching your videos a few months ago and you've really helped me get through my depression. Whenever I'm in a bad mood your videos always help cheer me up. I just want to thank you and keep up the great work 👍.
Game was awesome. Brings back memories. Had my Mavs with a starting lineup of Amare Stoudamire, Dirk, Carmelo, Lebron and Devin Harris. All in their 90s lol. Course way over the cap.
NBA Live 2005 has the best Slam Dunk Contest and 3pt shooting contest. You can kick the ball to the big screen in arena, do front flip twice, followed by 1080° with double between the legs, and stuck arm in the rim. and so much more
i really liked the dunkcontest in this game. Had the best controls. Even the new 2k19 sucks. All you do is tap a button at the right time, i remeber live05 you had to control everything. I loved this game still one of thr best. The a.i was really on point to for game back then. Even today, that same engine with modern graohics would provide a very good game
NBA Live 2005 was the greatest basketball game of all time. The slam dunk contest was hard af for me when I was little. I only knew how to do two dunks and I would come in last every time. I remember losing to Jason Richardson every time.
They didn't start calling it Live til 1995, but it really goes back further than that, Showdown '94, Showdown SNES, Bulls Vs Blazers, Bulls Vs Celtics, Lakers Vs Celtics.....I grew up with all of them. Once Live moved to the Playstation though I never felt that it transitioned well. I actually used to like the NBA Shoot Out games better. And then I moved to the Kobe Bryant series on Nintendo 64. As soon as NBA 2K came out on the Dreamcast though, I have been with 2K since day one. 2005 was the only year I bought Live as well. It was a good change from 2K at the time. But by the time 2K7 came out, Live was totally cooked.
this is so crazy when i have nba live 2005 on ps2 this is soooooooooo crazy and a love the game and it is better than the bullshit they put out now like if u agree
Troydan NBA Live 18 is good. 2k18 is sucking you dry you don't get enough points to upgrade your player. Haircuts cost points it's bull shit. I play Live 18 over 2k18
I miss this shit boy. The reset the online records every month, and one month during the summer this game was out I was #3 in the world (US) with a record of 103-0. I ran a big lineup with Dallas. I ran: 1) Jerry Stackhouse 2) Michael Finley 3) Dirk 4) Eric Dampier 5) Shawn Bradley (best defensive player in the game) I tell you a team everyone slept on was Utah. They were a 3 point beast of a team.
Jakota Herbert This was LeBron's 2nd season and his rookie year was by far his worst season of his career so he wouldn't be that highly rated for his standards
"In 2004 I didn't know much about basketball except Kobe Bryant" well some things never change I guess
Gottem
Well, in 2004, the Lakers got their asses kicked by the Pistons in the NBA Finals and Shaq took his talents to South Beach via a trade.
REST EASY KOBE BEAN
@@TheGameCube64Guy "Shaq took his talents to South Beach", lol isn't that what LeBron said in the infamous THE DECISSION? He said "I will take my talents to South Beach":
@@jameswalker6864 it-- is--- thats why he typed it
I went into this game; a while back; updated all the rosters; adjusted the ratings each
team; every player; took HOURS but so worth it. Plus this game is the greatest ever.
The Winter Brigade why?
How did you edit the players habilities?
@@RaulGomes91 go to edit players duh
"sorry"
You can still play this online on PC using direct IP. They got mods with updated courts and jerseys also. You would be amazed by it.
KG was MVP in 2004, i think this is why he has the 97 rating.
KG is also a 97 on NBA Live 2004 and he didn't win MVP during the 2002-03 season. Garnett's NBA Live ratings in his prime were 96-99.
Doknot1999 WOO what a surprise to see u Mr doknot
duncan was a much better post scorer and dirk was a much better shooter
@@ta724 for Dirk you were right, for post scoring man you need to watch games back in days
@@BymoGarilotti it's not even close. duncan was one of the most dominant big men down low
Man I miss 2005....I was 12.....I hate being a fucking adult.....I miss being a kid
This is the first basketball game I’ve ever played. I loved this and it’s one of the best basketball games of all time imo
I updated rosters; adjusted ratings; play on hardest level; it's the
GOAT. Updating takes a while but it's so much amazing rolled into one.
Live 96 for me.
Live 04 was my first basketball game
2k2 was my first game. But live 05 is my fav b ball game of all time.
This video has me crying. The eyes crossed when you finally dunked. Then the 1 on 1 with LeBron. Amazing haha.
Whole childhood right here
getyohandsoffme xSUPER facts
Live 04 was electric too🔥🔥🔥🔥 but 05 was🔥🔥🔥
10:08
Reggie's score = 24
Kobe's = 2
RIP MAMBA AND MAMBACITA
😮 btw R.I.P
Did he just say who is Mc lyte??? Wow these young kids wow 😮
Larry Sterling thought I was the only one that noticed that
That comment made me shut this video off on site
Buck Sterling smh I said the same thing... She's a hiphop legend...
Thumbs down just for that comment alone 😂
Buck Sterling he really just pissed me off saying that
MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME STILL!!! Me and my dad played this on PS2 almost every night
The best part of the old live games was the noise it made when you moved across the options
0:51 why is troydan in the game?????
That's Chris Kaman..
This was when Chris didn't look like Daniel
NBA Know it-all lmao
wtf
lmaoooo
This game was the shit, absolute masterpiece
Countless hours spent trying to perfect the dunk contest mini game
I loved these early to mid 2000’s NBA Live games. The intros ruled. NBA Live 2004 was my favorite. I loved the intros when they did the “EA Sports..... it’s in the game!” And they had different players from the league talking to the camera. That was so great
This game came out the year I was born, and this is honestly the realest game ever
This is my all time favorite NBA live game. Brings back so many memories. Great video by the way.
NBA Live 2005 brings back so many memories. I was just playing it an hour ago.... Supersonics vs Pistons
This game was my childhood, oh my god. This game was the most fun I've ever had with an NBA game ever, and possibly any game ever.

Carmelo was on cover of nba live 2005 insted of Lebron because he had better rookie season
NBA 4 Life no, he was just on a better team

This was my favorite NBA Live, had the best soundtrack
Facts. I fucked wit live 07 soundtrack too
The air horn after he dunked, along with him screaming KILLED me bruh
The first and last NBA game i had. Absolutely loved it.
One of my first PC games. Dunk contest was so dope. I remember the ad where Carmelo did a double between the legs dunk.
This game is better then 2k 18
Doesn’t take much
The dunk contest has always been better than any 2k design. I hate the dunk contest on 2k. I mastered the nba live slam dunk contest at 13. I’m now 26 and struggle with 2k’s lol, unnecessary controls.

BooShawna Jenkins it's vol.3 that has the dunk contest
This was my favorite Live game. Those was the days when your fritters cane over to play the ps2 with you instead of going online.

no the 3 point contest

I probably replayed the “EA sports, it’s in the game” 5x so classic
it used to be
I remember enjoying shooting freethrows with shaq the most while playing this game
This dunk contest was so fucking good nd fun unlike now this shit was actually enjoyable
"To maintain is my main aim"
TROYDAN U R A GOD
Nah caldy is thy god
Jameson Smith j
Jameson Smith not in the second round of the 3pt contest heheheh....

2004 was great too. 2004, 2005, 10 and 18 are the best of all time in the franchise.
The respect you’re putting on Kobe’s name is really making me happy

He said “Who’s MC Lyte” Jill yourself bro
For someone who covers basketball games his knowledge is awful. Stick around for the goofy times and don’t get upset
Live ‘04 was my first basketball game. I remember you could break the backboard from either dunking too much or it happened randomly.
How I fell in love with nba jam and Shawn kemp .. he was the first one I seen break the backboard in the game and it was over
Troydan, I just want to say, this video, was the greatest ever . Literally died and had to get resurrected to make this comment .
Man this game bring back memories.. houston, mavs and the sonics were unstoppable
Funny story, I bought this game at game stop once but they accidentally gave me the live 06 disk on accident
Tanner Johnson How did you feel?
sounds like gamestop
NBA Live 2005 has the best Slam Dunk Contest and 3pt shooting contest. You can kick the ball to the big screen in arena, do front flip twice, followed by 1080° with double between the legs, and stuck arm in the rim. and so much more
I have a feeling he has no clue who T. Mac is lmaoooo
Yes, when everybody was playing live....i love you for this video on my Friday night
“Wish we could turn back time.......”
Biggest Troll Ever "to the good old days......"
The freaking intros to nba live used to get u hyped to play now it’s just plain and then it takes forever to load xD
I bought this game new. 2004 was a better game IMO. 06 was amazing and I still play it to this day.
I had this for PC and PS2. Man, it was awesome. Dunk contests were great.
i really liked the dunkcontest in this game. Had the best controls. Even the new 2k19 sucks. All you do is tap a button at the right time, i remeber live05 you had to control everything.

Dwight Howard: 69 ovr
We all saw it coming
Got Troy over here rocking the chinstrap
Wheel of secretly good cards (cards under 75 ovr that are are actually good)
I was 4 when this came out
My first NBA live was NBA live 98. Maaan, such a long time ago;____;
Electronaut87 still on live?
Actually I switched to 2k down the road. This year I got back to live, because fuck 2k and their greedy microtransactions this year...
Electronaut87 I had every live since 98
I had NBA live 95 on snes...crazy to think now
They didn't start calling it Live til 1995, but it really goes back further than that, Showdown '94, Showdown SNES, Bulls Vs Blazers, Bulls Vs Celtics, Lakers Vs Celtics.....I grew up with all of them.

We used to play this game together with my brothers every Friday evening up to early dawn of Saturday.
0:38 Out of all players, they decide to choose Corey Maggette to have do a 720... -_-
I love his voice. A young Gilbert Godfreid!
We going to ignore how Dwight Howard was a 69.
dude, in that point in time, he was
Nice
Troy bring back the throwback series!
They actually do have 3 point contests in the new games
Braden White on my carrer
Braden White not as a option
This was one of the best of all time, after Wade hit the cover 2k took over. I was 20 in 2005 by the way 😂✌
this is so crazy when i have nba live 2005 on ps2 this is soooooooooo crazy and a love the game and it is better than the bullshit they put out now like if u agree
update rosters; adjust all ratings; hardest difficulty = goat
This game brings back so much memories. Please do a NBA Live 2003 THROWBACK! video.
Troydan NBA Live 18 is good. 2k18 is sucking you dry you don't get enough points to upgrade your player. Haircuts cost points it's bull shit. I play Live 18 over 2k18
Agreed
PNO is the only mode worth playing imo
King Smurf yeah but aleast they let u play at park for free instead of getting online
I already got bored of 2k18 there is nothing to do, u tryna get a haircut or wear ur clothes that u bought u gotta go through a long ass cutscene
Facts
I miss this shit boy. The reset the online records every month, and one month during the summer this game was out I was #3 in the world (US) with a record of 103-0. I ran a big lineup with Dallas.
I ran:
1) Jerry Stackhouse
2) Michael Finley
3) Dirk
4) Eric Dampier
5) Shawn Bradley (best defensive player in the game)
I tell you a team everyone slept on was Utah. They were a 3 point beast of a team.
NBA Live peaked hear imo. When they added those power ups in Live 06, he game went downhill.
I remember having this game. I was as good as I am irl. THE BEST.
I think live is better than 2k this year! Only comment back if you have played both, awesome video Troy!!!
That's the first NBA game that I played. Still my fave NBA game.
Proof that NBA Live is recycling their games every year
New Phone Who Dis 2k does too
I don’t know why games take out there best features to make the best one slightly different.
NBA 2K11 allowed you to play as celebrities. Why not just make that available for 2K12 and 13, etc?
The whole EA industry does that
2k pretty much takes everything from live .. that love did in the past
I honestly broke my nba live game in frustration because I was missing easy shots and lay ups while the CPU was on fire.
He is scared to show lebron rating
Jakota Herbert This was LeBron's 2nd season and his rookie year was by far his worst season of his career so he wouldn't be that highly rated for his standards
He's scared? And he does show it; it was 83 I think. The fuck is wrong with you? What a weird ass thing to say.
My Mom Says I'm a Champion shut up baby was nigga. It was joke cuz troydan hates LeBron. He never specifically talked about LeBrons rating Anyway.
Jakota Herbert Lebron has 84 on this one Mellow has 80 and Wade has 76
Lebron missed the playoffs his first 2 years
This video has me dying lmao when you said they patched your jump shot and the whole dunk contest
3:23 Tyron lue has 55 overall 😂 how sad
This was my childhood game. We used to compete on that slamdunk contest with my friends
Nba live 2069😏
Lavar Ball was good lavar
NBA live was my fav b ball game ever. Pistons kicked ass in that game.
You should lyric prank your girl
This is my favorite nba basketball game. I used to play it all the time on the game cube.
4:02 Dwight Howard 69 overall lol
Still got it on my PS2. Classic
MC Lyte is a legendary female rapper lol, very nostalgic vid BTW
This the first game I had fr the nostalgia is real
Runescape PogChamp
