Against my better judgment, I went out and purchased NBA Live 2004 after swearing off the franchise after last year’s debacle. Though I loved the hyped Freestyle Control, I found 2003 to be incredibly frustrating for it’s emphasis on arcade-like game play that allowed the opponent to score at will. But like a battered wife, I eventually found myself coming back, hoping that things would change for the better. I’m happy to say that NBA Live 2004 is light years ahead of it’s predecessor.Two major gripes I had with last year’s version were the opponent’s high shooting percentages and their ability to almost always snag the offensive rebound. Not only are these two issues fixed in this year’s edition, the entire game play engine has been overhauled as well. Based on the "All-Star" difficulty setting, which is geared towards more experienced Live players, the opponent’s defense is stingy and tough as nails. The Freestyle Control, which made it easy to breeze past defenders to the basket through a series of jukes and cross-overs, is not as effective, though it sure is pretty to watch. It’s refreshing to have to work for a score. To do so, the emphasis must now be on setting picks and using motion to free a player for an open shot. Thankfully, EA has implemented a few tools that you can use at your disposal. A new feature this year allows you to control a player without the ball. Once you feel that you’re open or have a clear path to the basket, you can call for.
I was really excited when this game was released i get this game every year. When i played i could not put it down, excellence nba players graphic,cool shoes(AJ Retros,Shox,T-Mac),throwbacks jersey,and more advance freestyle control. You have array and moves that you do on this verison of nba live.(kiiler crossover) Defense is turn up so you can block layups,and dunks there are no gimme points in this game(you can actually miss shot over the basket). kick-… soundtrack Outkast,Clipse, Twista,and more. This game is a must for any nba fan you will not be disappointed. Enjoy
This is a good game but after a while it gets boring but after one day you will again start liking.It has all the repeated tasks to do but yes i shall encourage the grafics.Grafics 5/5These are the best grafics of any Game Which I had ever seen.Gameplay 3.5/5As i said above this game is good but as you keep playing two or three matches continouesly it gets boring.I will really offer you a advise which is rent it first.
I felt graphically live 04 is an improvement from 03, however EA sports took three steps backwards regarding the gameplay. I like improved defense. But it has been over done. The offensive players can only get around the defense unless you are playing in 1 on 1 mode. Disappointment.
Buy this
I skipped the 03 version of the game so EA could get their act together and while this isn’t the best I think they could have done it is definately a big step in the right direction.My biggest problem with this game is certain plays, such as the post up move becomes almost a guaranteed 2 points every time once you realize how to fake out the computer, this holds true even on the higher level..Realistic game play and full control over the team and GM duties from start to finish make this game well worth it however some changes are needed for the 05 version.
The game was the rebirth of the NBA Live franchise for me. I had been turned off of the game in years past because of the weak game play and subpar controls.NBA Live 2004 put EA back in front against the NBA2K games.I’m glad to see that EA has gotten this one right again.
I believe anyone that is a basketball fan needs to buy this game and keep for a very long time. Because it is the last basketball game that features Michael Jordan on the roster.
I Love THIS GAME! NBA Live is the best (non streetball) basketball game out there. The new pro hop feature is the best. This game is all i play with sum friends when they come over. It NEVER gets boring. You can always start a new franchise and have fun. Everyone is equally rated and the game is non-stop fun. GET THAT GAME! trust me. You need it to have a good time. Later.
I have no idea about this stuff,this was a gift for my friend’s birthday,He said it just so-so
