It is the last NBA 2K game to be released by Sega before the company sold Visual Concepts to Take-Two Interactive, forming 2K Sports. It is also the second and last game to feature the ESPN branding on its front cover (the ESPN branding would be dropped, making later releases once again known as simply 'NBA 2Kx' and later 'NBA 2Kxx'.).

Reception

ESPN NBA 2K5 received 'favorable' reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.^[16][17]

Andrew Reiner of Game Informer praised Visual Concepts for still being able to make subtle improvements over the previous game in the series, despite not implementing drastic overhauls, as was the case with ESPN NBA Basketball and NBA 2K3. He commended how the developers focus on realism; one detail he cited was the sweat players amass as games progress. Reiner called the crowd design 'amazing', particularly liking how they react to certain situations, and the said that player models were 'superb'. Reiner summarized his review by saying, 'This is still the best playing, most rewarding, and realistic basketball game that money can buy.'^[4]

Game Revolution's review praised the visuals and price, but criticized the 24/7 mode for being 'broken'.^[6] Bob Colayco of GameSpot also praised the low price of the game, as well as the 'extremely well done' gameplay and visuals. He found the soundtrack 'forgettable' and thought the commentary was 'good but not great'.^[7] Both of GameZone's two reviews were positive. They praised the online features, the 24/7 mode, the commentary and soundtrack, the visuals, and the gameplay.^[9][10]

IGN's Hilary Goldstein wrote: 'ESPN NBA 2K5 isn't a horrible game by any means, but it's probably Sega's weakest sports game this year. On the surface it looks fine. It plays decently and if you know how to use IsoMotion2, you can definitely enjoy playing offense. There's a lot of fine-tuning needed and it seems pretty clear this game really shouldn't be shipping quite so soon. I just couldn't possibly play any more of the Association. It's not bad, it just isn't great and some of the AI gaffs began to really get on my nerves over time. However, the 24/7 mode is refreshing, even after playing a lot last year. Considering this is a $20 game, it's certainly worth it to pick up just for those nice extra modes. However, if you want to play a real NBA sim, this one may disappoint you. It's too drive-minded and while it tries to create the idea of individuals and personality with the visuals and Association, the gameplay seems to ignore who these players are on the court. I want this to be a great game. I know a lot of other people do as well. But it just isn't great. It's merely good. And in the competitive world of sports sims these days, being good isn't enough.'^[11]
