Umm, you call this next-gen?, 2006-07-12
I have been a fan of live for a very long time beginning with live 2000. NBA Live 06 on current-gen consoles was a step down from 05, but wasn't bad, at least you could enjoy yourself. But this game takes home the prize for Worst NBA Live Game ever. To begin with, the graphics are amazing, the animations are so realistic my uncle thought I was watching TV while playing, its just that beautiful. But this game suffers from horrendous camera angles and absolutely horrible gameplay. This could be partially blamed on the camera angles which dont even follow the ball half of the time. Going on a fast break? Not so fast...Literally. The players sometimes run slower than turtles and the controls are clunky. This is not to mention the idiotic free-throw system, which has you moving the right stick up and down. You will miss 90% of the time, guaranteed. Then comes the fact you can only play exhibition or season, no franchise. This was the last straw until I returned this game back where it belongs, in the backroom in some game store. One other advantage of this game is that it made me realize how much better 2K6 is.
what's the problem?, 2006-12-04
what's everyones problem with this game? I find it to be real fun, one of the best basketball offerings on the 360.
Failed, 2006-06-22
I have been a nba live fan forever and this 2006 copy may have ruined it for me. the screen shots are HORRIBLE, no francise mode, you can be 3 feet tall and block a players shot whos 7 feet tall....I would give this game away to anyone who wants it..this was a major rush job and if the xbox 360 is gonna continue to put out games like this i'll go to Sony
Bargain Bin Only, 2007-08-11
If you see this one in a bargain bin for ten bucks, then you may want to pick it up. I wouldn't pay full price for this one.
There are a couple of things I liked: Creating a player is amazingly detailed. It would have been neat to create a team of superhuman players like I was able to do on my old Nintendo Baseball game.
Graphics are neat. The faces don't look perfect, but you can see who the players are. In fact, for me, the graphics is the only thing that save this clunker from being a one star game.
The music is terrible and annoying. I don't like rap, and all the music appears to be rap.
The menu controls are not intuitive. Game play is rather boring.
What I'd pay: Less than $3.00. Graphics can only go so far.
Mediocre at best, 2006-07-24
Although I am very impressed by the amazing graphics, that does not constitute a good game. I was disappointed with the features in the game. No francise, no dunk competition, no extra anything. Maybe I'm greedy, but when I drop money on a game I want it to contain everything.
I bought this along with my new Xbox 360. Got it for a good deal at walmart and mostly got it to play with friends. Im still overall happy with the game but as other reviewers stated, there are some technical flaws too. The camera gets stuck sometimes and you cant see. To me the players weren't totally rendered. The arm crease looks very incorrect. But the faces and the arenas look amazing. Except the fans still look horrible. Either way, most of them are moving or looking somewhat real so its all good.
The game is decent at best. I am waiting to see what the new version can offer me and if it offers what it has right now, I may have to grab 2k7.
