ESPN College Hoops 2K5 was a Masterpiece

Between an insanely deep legacy mode, authentic presentation, and very good and deep gameplay with a skill gap, ESPN College Hoops 2K5 one of the best made sports games of all time.

NBA Live 05, march madness 05, madden 05, nfl 2k5, college hoops 2k5, mvp baseball what was in the water in 2005? Game companies just ate that year with sports. I had NBA Live 05 and MVP Baseball 05. So fun.

2001-2007 was the golden age of sports games

College hoops 2k8 is the final and greatest version. It had everything 2k5 had and more, including shot selection using the right stick. The coach dynasty was great, starting at a small school and working your way up through mid majors to the big time. Landing recruits and upsetting teams in the tournament was so much fun. I long for an updated college basketball experience like the college hoops series.

FINALLY! Thank the gods! I have found someone on YouTube who thinks that 2K Sports’ College Hoops 2K5 is a ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! LET’S FREAKING GO, BABY!

Edit: I hope you do a video talking about the series of other Midway Sports games like NHL Hitz, NFL Blitz, MLB Slugfest and Redcard 2003 really soon in future videos!

Ahhhh the first college BBall game I ever played. Truly life changing. This was the golden age of sports gaming...we had so much to choose from. This series opened my eyes to the NBA 2K, NFL 2K, and even NHL 2K series. I loved them all and miss them dearly.

Sports games were passion projects back then. Made by guys you can tell love sports and making games.

Played this with my dad so much. Great memories

I vividly remember buying this from a pawn shop for $5 back in the summer of 2011. I had so much playing it that summer. The loudness of the crowd, the replay camera. It was fire.

To be honest, all of the College Hoops games from 2k4 to the end with 2k8 were great. I bought every year and would play 7 or 8 years deep in legacy mode. This franchise truly got better every year. 2k8 was a masterpiece with 2k taking everything they learned from years before and finally putting it all together.

This was my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Growing up, , I still have the case till this day.. 2K was on a MEAN streak throughout 05 and it was a time to be alive.. I only wish I understood the ins and outs the way I do now that I am older

[smithwills]

I never thought I’d see the day that my favorite game would be talked about. Thank you sooo much

[krissifadwa]

I use to play this so much. I've always felt blessed to play it because it felt like it was created from the future and I brought for only $20.00

Damn I miss the 2k5 Era of sports games I remember countless sleepness nights grinding these games, good times. Great video!

[mistermann]

I remember this game. I played the hell out of it on PS2. I loved the way driving to the basket worked in this game.

[RichRoyce]

I wish they never stopped making this game. I still play College Hoops 2k8 to this day. Hopefully they can get the legal side of things down one day and bring this back.

Just stopping by to say thank you for creating this page. I’m an old school sports gamer for life and I love learning the Ins and outs of these titles. keep up the amazing work brother

[IAmMicxh]

I haven’t played this game in years! Definitely was one of my favorites, I need to bring it back out for old times sake! Josh Childress on the cover! What a classic!

[NelsonBulluckGaming]

If you ever feel like your videos don't have any impact on your viewers, just know after watching this video the first time I ended up ordering a PS2 copy of this game. I can't wait to play it again. Thank you for another banger video bro. Much love.

Such a good game. Fond memories of managing teams or throwing it on a projector and running exhibition games. Actually used to do that as a part of March madness! All that said the X factor here is that these games were truly made with love and attention to detail. So hard to find today.

This game was amazing! I remember having that trilogy of NBA 2K5, NFL 2K5 and NCAA 2K5.
