Once again EA failed to give the consumer a good basketball game. Like everyone is saying, EA has no excuse. Last year was one thing, but for two consecutive years is well enough. Now that I got that out of the way, let me say that the graphics are beautiful. From the players, the jumpshots and stadiums. You just get the feel for the game. The All Star weekend was left out last year and for good sake we're lucky it's in this years edition. Reason being is because the a.i. completly sucks. It's as awful like online play. One can spin and spin until we can manage a dunk or lay up. There is no fun in that. I rated LIVE 07 a 5 because of the sweet graphics, jumpshots and All Star weekend. Hey, maybe next year. But we keep telling ourselves that every year.

Ok I understand that there are some bad things about this game I especially notice them when I'm in a tough game and my opponent gets a bull s!#$ goal,but what you have to realize is it is still a good game. I'll make a pro con chart to explain my contentions

Cons-
-Online connection is not very strong. Many games I'm lagged out on and I get a loss and a DNF for that (friends have same problem)

-Achievments are very dumb. They basically have nothing to do with how well you play.

-One acheivment everyone is rantiong about is the 1000 people online acheivment worth 100 points. (no one in the world has it)

-Their aren't alot of game modes in it. I would hate the game if I dind't have Live.

-Not much roster updates. (AI was on the 76ers until mid January)

-They took out many of the playmaker types mainly the defensive ones (like 3 point defender)

-Gameplay isn't that strong. Jumpshots never fall,and dunks and lay ups are missed way to much.

-I'm still waiting for the skill chalenge to be apart of the allstar weekend but not in this one.

-Dunk Contest is the same it's been since 05

-Gilbert Arenas is only an 83 as of mid February.

Pros-
-Amazing graphics very realistic

-Espn feature is amazing. (you can have espn radio, and even sportscenter clips.)

-You can practice while game is loading.

-Free throw shooting is very realistic.

-Many online game modes.

Conclusion- All in all I think it's a great game. Personally I think it's better than 2K7 many people disagree though. If you're a basketball fan I feel you should buy this game it's very cheap and is alot of fun. I listed more cons than pros but my cons are much more minor that's why it received a 7. It's not great but it's good.

this game is ok, graphics are really nice,
gameplay isn't so great, create a player is awsome, alot of stuff to do.
online is fun but not alot of people play it, so it's hard to get a game.
but it's just an ok game.
