NBA Live 06 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

After seriously picking up the game and buying b/c of all the hype that surrounded the graphics of this game and b/c I am a hard core EA lover and love Madden and Live. To my disappointment this game was a flop. The version for xbox was better. Only good thing on this one was the start-up, which allows you to shoot around for fun and maybe the player models. The game play was horrible, camera angles were so ridiculous that i knew this game couldn't have taken longer then a few weeks to MAKE. In simple terms worth the 2,000 points you get b/c you can sim through and get pretty much all of them but this game is no way worth buying, or to me even renting

First things, first. The graphics are just simply amazing. You can distinguish all the players without having to know their number, nor name. The arenas look beautiful also and the crowd really gets into it. I just love the fact that when I'm playing with the Clippers on a road game, the home fans boo me when I go to the freethrow line. With that being said, let me tell you about the gameplay. One of the cool things about the gameplay is that you do not have to pause to make a sub, change the strategy of the game nor the tempo. What really messes this game up is the ratings. EA really screwed up. I hate the fact that when the opposing team is on a fast break none of my players defend. That can really get on peoples nerves. So the best thing to do is rent Live and test it out before getting it.
