ESPN NBA 2K5

Franchise mode also gives you the ability to play games on a play-by-play basis, like a management game, while letting you control everything and giving you replays to see what happened.

Control wise, the game features the same Iso Motion as found in last year's title, but also gives you options depending on your player. 2K5 uses a new momentum system which factors the player's ability in deciding what he can do.

A short guy, who can't run very fast or jump very high, won't be able to score a lot of dunks. 24/7, the "story" mode of last year's game, has returned with some new features.

You get over one hundred new items, a respect system, the ability to play multiplayer games, and new timed mini-games.

Like all of the 2K5 titles, this one has the standard ESPN presentation, which includes camera angles, follow-cams, stat overlays, and running commentary.

Commentators include Michele Tafoya, who reports from the sideline, and Bill Walton, a hall of famer, as the commentator.

ESPN NBA 2K5 has online play over Xbox Live (Xbox only), as well as the PlayStation 2's online service.

ESPN NBA 2K5 for PlayStation 2 is currently worth €9.45 loose, €3.55 complete in box, and €8.75 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

ESPN NBA 2K5 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For ESPN NBA 2K5, loose is €9.45 and CIB is €3.55 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of ESPN NBA 2K5 is currently worth €9.45 loose, versus €7.89 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
