Features

• Freestyle Air: The EA SPORTS: Freestyle Control continues to revolutionize your ability to play simulation basketball—and, now more than ever, it’s about expressing your game in flight with Freestyle Air. In addition to all-new dunks, alley-oops, and adjustable jump shots in mid-air, new user-controlled put-back and tip-in technologies reward players who box out, wipe the glass, and go back up for a quick bucket. On defense, take more control over shot blocking to own the paint.
• NBA All-Star Weekend: Freestyle Air elevates NBA LIVE 2005 above the rim in the all-new NBA All-Star Weekend mode by allowing users to take complete control and create jaw-dropping, customized dunks in the Slam Dunk Contest. With thousands of unique dunk scenarios—from bouncing the ball off the backboard, to jumping from the free throw line, to going between your legs in mid flight—Freestyle Air lets you express your game on the court, and above it. Also featuring the 3 Point Shootout, the Rookie Challenge, and the NBA All-Star Game, All-Star Weekend is available as a stand-alone game mode as well as within Dynasty Mode.
• Comprehensive Dynasty Mode: Be the architect of your own unstoppable dynasty, and watch your franchise flourish for 25 seasons. Jump into games with simulation intervention and use the customizable PDA to stay updated with important league news, team information, and other announcements. New free agency logic allows users to negotiate contracts and manage the salary cap using real dollars for the first time.
• Announcers: No voice says NBA basketball like Marv Albert. Teamed with on-air TV partner Mike Fratello for 5-on-5 action, these two hoops veterans dish out the most authentic commentary available. In NBA All-Star Weekend mode, TNT’s Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith step up to the mic to bring their own unique flavor to the Slam Dunk Contest and 3 Point Shootout.
