"Even though there are some rough edges in its franchise mode, ESPN NBA 2K5's basic gameplay mechanics are extremely well done, making the game easy to recommend to any basketball fan. It hits the mark in just about every aspect of basketball, including post-up play, rebounding, and passing. What's more, the game's available for cheap. That's an outright steal for such a deep, quality basketball game that also offers online play."
