The play by play is something that this series does as good as if not better than the 2K series. Of course, this all depends on your like for this kind of music, but it is very fitting and you can clearly tell that EA spent a great deal of time and money in securing these songs for the game. See Dunk Contest score total: When you are in the Dunk Contest, immediately after your dunk. Hip Hop BeatsĮA always goes above and beyond with the music in their games and this game has a great hip hop soundtrack. Then, go to the hoop, hold L + R and tap A. It may not be at the same level that the 2K games were at this point, but this is still a very good-looking game. The arenas, presentation, and so on just has a tad more polish to it this year. At first glance, the game may not look all that different from NBA Live 2004, but the player's likenesses I feel are a bit more accurate this time around. The presentation of the game is great, People love to talk trash about EA, but they always make good looking games and this one is no different. All-Star Weekend also tied into you running your franchise in career mode as you could get invited to it which was neat. Add to this the typical EA style of TV presentation and you have a really cool All-Star experience that had not been done before. However, you also the slam dunk contest, a three-point contest, and a cool rookie v sophomore game as well which was a lot of fun. You of course have the actual All-Star game which is cool.
