Item Description

Twenty dollars. That was the price Sega and Visual Concepts put on ESPN NBA 2K5 in the fall of 2004, part of an aggressive push that undercut the competition and put a full-featured basketball sim within reach of just about everyone. It was not a bargain-bin game, either. Reviewers praised the visuals and on-court play, and the PlayStation 2 version alone sold around a million copies in the United States.

Ben Wallace of the Detroit Pistons, fresh off the 2004 championship, fronts the cover as the first cover athlete in the series who was not Allen Iverson. The rosters reflect the 2004-05 season, the year Shaquille O'Neal joined Dwyane Wade in Miami, and the ESPN presentation gives every game a broadcast feel, with Stuart Scott hosting, Bob Fitzgerald and Bill Walton on the call and Michele Tafoya on the sideline.

Underneath that presentation, NBA 2K5 introduced The Association, the reworked franchise mode that carried the series' front-office experience for years, along with the 24/7 mode for building your own player, tournaments and street basketball. It was also the last NBA 2K game Sega released before Visual Concepts was sold to Take-Two and folded into 2K Sports, and the last to carry ESPN branding on its cover. Fire it up for Bill Walton's commentary alone, or to steer a contender through a season from a pivotal stretch of league history.
