ESPN NBA 2K5 is a basketball simulation video game developed by Visual Concepts and co-published by Sega and Global Star Software. Released in September 2004 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in North America, and in February 2005 in Europe, it is the sixth installment in the NBA 2K series. The game features Ben Wallace of the Detroit Pistons as its cover athlete. Set in the context of the National Basketball Association, players can engage in various game modes, including NBA basketball games with real teams, a street basketball mode, and a mode to simulate an NBA season. The gameplay mechanics include realistic basketball simulations, enhanced post-play options, an improved 'isomotion' juke system, and the inclusion of offensive playbooks for each team. The game also features detailed aesthetics such as crowd animations, camera angles, and commentary from Stuart Scott, Bob Fitzgerald, Bill Walton, and Michele Tafoya. ESPN NBA 2K5 received positive reviews from critics, with Metacritic scores of 83/100 for the PS2 version and 85/100 for the Xbox version. Reviewers praised the game's visuals, gameplay, and low price point. By July 2006, the game had sold 1.6 million units in the United States, making it one of the highest-selling games in the series at the time. Despite some criticisms, the game remains notable for its realistic basketball experience and significant improvements over its predecessors.
