I brought NBA Live '06 from last two months ago and even till now, i still play the game.What i like about the game is simply the good graphics, the game that contains great hip-hop music good and control of the basketball players with the new Freestyle Superstar System. Not only you can use the Basketball attriubes, you can use their power(for example scorer which makes the player make those hard and diffuclt shots look easy to score)that makes it a acception for the hard core video gamers who enjoys playing sports games. The games has All-Star Mode which contains three-point shooting contest, Rookie Contest and whop can not forget the infamou Slam Dunk Contest and the NBA retro that alows you to play NBA Live 93. Create your own superstar is one of the down falls on the because there wasn't any improvements. Players can still change jerseys to old school and create your own team, buy shoes, play online against your rivals. Why do I decide to buy this game? It because I love the way Ea Sports make sports games and simply basketball is my sport. NBA Live is one of the top games to get in 2006.Read full review
Oh boy, have I been suckered again. This isn't the worst basketball game released this year (see Sony's NBA '06: The Life for that dubious distinction), but the stupid thing is so freakin' disappointing it may as well be. If by some crazy chance anyone from EA Sports involved with this franchise bothers to look at most of these reviews, God-willing, maybe we'll get some real improvements for next years' version. Since I'm here, I may as well air my beef(s), along with some thoughts. Maybe even add an 'Attaboy' here and there: 1. The graphics and overall design of this game stinks. The players are so two dimensional, they look like someone cut them out of a magazine. The fonts used everywhere in the game - from the in-game stats to the start screens - are small and blurry enough to cause migraines. 2. Crash, crash, crash. Restart, restart, restart. Really annoying - simple, easy to spot (and fix!) bugs like this should never happen, especially in a product from an established franchise. 3. Our play-by-play guys, Marv and Steve: "Mr. Bland" Steve Kerr ain't no Mike Fratello, the two have no chemistry, and all the glitches in the sound levels make it seem like they recorded their sound-bytes in different studios. Not only that, buy how many times during a game do you want to hear the same recycled junk about the players? At least Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson sound like they're having fun during the throwaway All-Star stuff. 4. I don't play the game online, so I can't speak to that, but in 'Dynasty' mode, gameplay has the usual variety of problems, most of which have been covered here in prior posts: Players 'skate'; your seven-foot center can't grab a rebound to save his life, but the opposing team's second string point guard gets a bunch of offensive put-backs; you can steamroll a team by a hundred points in 'beginner' mode, or get creamed by a hundred in any of the other harder modes; etc., etc. 5. The PDA. The damn PDA. Can we come up with a better idea that's not so annoying, or at least be able to tone this thing down? And, if you're going to try to incorporate some type of roleplaying to give the game some diversity, why not take a page from the 'Madden' franchise, or even the aforementioned NBA '06: The Life (which had a nifty idea and destroyed it with horrible execution) and actually develop the roleplaying? I know some hard-core players just want to play hoops, but frankly, if I've got a dynasty to contol, let me control every little bit of it. 6. The Draft: Why does so much of my scouting information disappear on draft day? And since when are 90% of NBA two guards under 6'2" and slow? Same thing with the 6'4" small forwards and 6'6" power forwards - ? A little more consistency matching the player parameters with the real life counterpoints. 7. Player development. Thank God we don't need those stupid points to train or scout players anymore. But tell me - why, when I blow my piddly staff budget (which you seem to be stuck with for the entire term you're with any particular team during the Dynasty mode) and hire the best coaches, trainers, etc., then go and draft a player rated 'good' or 'excellent' (taken from anywhere on the draft board, even the upper picks, during weak or strong draft years), does that player not only not develop, even with scads of training, but actually gets worse from year to year? Let us just adjust the player attributes during the course of their career, if we want to.Read full review
Come sempre EA Sports offre il pieno sfruttamento delle licenze della NBA, il che significa decine di squadre e di giocatori a disposizione con le uniformi originali, le arene di gioco riprodotte nel minimo dettaglio e naturalmente l'aspetto e le caratteristiche di tutti i campioni della massima Lega Americana. Purtroppo questo nuovo prodotto EA presenta più "Dolori" che "Gioie". Tanto per cominciare nessuna delle tre visuali disponibili, ognuna con il relativo grado di zoom, è riuscita a soddisfarmi. Alcune angolazioni sono davvero scomode e il cambiamento repentino da una telecamera all'altra può mandare il giocatore in confusione, anche se a dare più fastidio è la presenza di fasi di gioco dove il giocatore che ha la palla può addirittura sparire dall'inquadratura per qualche secondo. Bisogna insomma farci il callo, ma anche dopo alcune ore di gioco non sono riuscito a trovare una modalità di visione priva di difetti e per uno sport così veloce e ricco di cambi di "inquadrature" come il basket non si tratta di un difetto da poco. A colpire è poi la lentezza con cui si muovono i giocatori, che più che correre sembrano al massimo camminare veloci e giocare quasi al rallentatore. Anche il sistema di tiri liberi è cambiato, avvicinandosi di più a quello della serie rivale di 2K Games con l'utilizzo dello stick analogico destro (joipad per PC) per dosare la forza del tiro; nulla di male, ma si ha la netta sensazione che oltre alla difficoltà di questa nuova introduzione realizzare un tiro libero sia diventata solo una questione di fortuna dovuta al puro caso, visto che di fatto viene a mancare un qualsiasi indicatore che aiuti a capire il momento giusto per lanciare la palla. Questi e altri difetti (intelligenza avversaria a corrente alternata, errori sotto canestro, lentezze clamorose dei nostri difensori, tiri da tre perennemente fuori canestro) rendono il gameplay di NBA Live 06 una vera sofferenza per chi era abituato ai capitoli precedenti e alla formula, in passato molto più divertente e non così smaccatamente sbilanciata, della serie di EA Sports. Certo, le statistiche a disposizione sono sempre impressionanti per quantità e minuziosità e la possibilità di usufruire dei tempi morti di un match per riorganizzare la squadra, cambiando tattica o modello di schieramento in campo, aumenta non poco il realismo ed evita di passare attraverso il classico menu da Time Out premendo il tasto Start. Ma a mancare in questo nuovo capitolo di NBA Live sono lo spessore di gioco e tutta quella serie di accorgimenti (anche le "mosse speciali" dei campioni non sono efficaci come in passato) che a mio avviso non dovevano assolutamente mancare in un titolo del genere.Read full review
If you own a PS2, then you pretty much know the graphic limitation for it. NBA 06 pretty much keeps the same graphics of '05 but with a few minor upgrades and add a whole new flight of moves and dunks. I play this game all the time online and it kicks tail...expecially compared to '05's version. If your looking for a game that pretty much delivers the NBA experience then this is it. Even though it doesn't really offer too much on Create-A-Player (Which took it from a 5 to a 4 on my list) it still gives you the thrill of making tough 3's and awesome dunks. On a scale of 1 to 10...I'd give this game an 8.
Got live 06, the good thing is that it has updated details of rookies.Other good things of the games are:Great Dynasty Mode, the all-star weekend activities(3-pt,dunk,skills) and the notable highflyer,scorer,power,playmaker modes.Bad Things: If you love to play with it everyday in the season/dynasty mode over 1 hour, it will froze up (sometimes), some rosters are unupdated (unlike 2k6)beyond september.Graphics are OK. But still not worth the price of 30-50 bucks.
