This is a good thing, as it means you can only use the hop in situations where real players would employ it: an open or only partially clogged lane. Opponents now have a much higher success rate of tying a player up during the hop. Second: The power-hop is no longer the most devastating move in the history of video sports (right up there with the post-combo uppercut from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and any pass play to Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl). Tying players up in a double almost always results in a quick outlet pass to the open man. In 2005, a player is required to really keep an eye on the passing lanes and move to intercept.
In 2004, it was possible to rack up a ridiculous number of steals per game simply by double-teaming whoever had the ball at any given time. This is all stuff that appeared in 2004's entry and has been left untouched or only slightly refined (for example, collision detection is somewhat improved). Players will fight for position down low, jump into the lane to take charges, feint to throw their man off balance, and in general perform very well.

(There's full keyboard support, but as with most PC sports titles, we definitely recommend a dual analog gamepad.) You're also free to choose between various full-court, half-court, and zone defenses. Players have the option to choose from several offensive patterns, including pick-and-rolls, isolation setups, post-ups, and more. The graphics are moderately improved but still somewhat lacking, the multiplayer is still quite functional (although there are surprisingly few people online to play it with), and the basic mechanics of the basketball simulation itself are largely unchanged. NBA Live 2005 picks right up where 2004 left off. Fortunately, that option turns out to be pretty good. So that leaves the few remaining PC enthusiasts who also happen to be basketball fans with pretty much one option.
Unfortunately, that's because NBA Live's main competitor, ESPN NBA 2K5, doesn't exist for the PC. Unlike reviews of other versions of NBA Live 2005, it's easy to declare EA the undisputed king of basketball simulations on the PC.
