NBA Live 06 (PlayStation 2, 2005)

I don't like this game because of the graphics. I have NBA live 2005 and it has better graphics than NBA live 06 trust me buy NBA live 2005 better sound better graphis and more... . So take my opinion and but NBA live 2005. I have played live 06 5 times and I returned the game next weekend after I played it. its a waste of money. EA Sports didn't have much time to make this game so they just rushed and made it as fast as they could. Ask a friend how they liked NBA live 06 I bet they will say the same thing as me.So its up to you to make the right decision. THANKS!!!

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.

I love the dunk competitions, the three point shootout and the graphics. I dont like how the characters are so small. They could have been bigger and more realistic.

I bought it because it is an overall good game.

it not real, the players move to fake. just like 2005. don't by. real games like nba 2k6 are much better. this game all the players move just like the real people. i hope this helps before you buy either one of these games.

I got this game for my youngest son... He loves this game. He will play it everyday if he we let him.

ok gamers here is the 411 on this blunder.one word to describe this game....weak.don't do it.don't even try it.ea sports has put dull and hard controls in to this this years nba live 06.also there is no smashing dunks are anything that is good about the nba.so please go back to madden and stick it out the mvp baseball will be here soon enough.

out dated xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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.

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.

this game is the best game i have ever played im not sure if it is better than nba 2k6 but peple say that it is the best nbs game

NBA Live 2006 is by far the best basketball game. It cannot be matched by NBA Street and continues to get better every year. If EA Sports tops NBA Live 2006 next year I will be surprised. This is a game I will never sell!!!

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.

awesome game. addddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd ddddddddd d d d d d d d d dd d d d dd d d d dd d d d d d d d d d d dd d d dd d d d d dd d d d d d d d dd d d d d d

The game arrived very fast and packaged appropriately so it was in excellent condition when we received it. It was brand new and in the original packaging as stated in the ad. Pricing was competitive. I would buy from this seller again.

The thing that i like most about it is thaat it has updated rosters, and i dont have to trade every single person to the right team. and i also like playing with like the new rookie players. The reason why i decided to buy it is, i needed another basketball game that was updated, and i also love playing sport games.

Difficult to rate when you STILL have not received it. I have emailed the seller with no reply. I don't know what to do next,

it was a great deal and a really good games. game looks brand new!
good guy to buy stuff off- also shipping came pretty quick!

the video game was stated being brand new and it was not there were was scratches on the disc. this is my first bad transaction done on ebay.

I won the ebay item because i was the high bidder of all time.
I liked it and it is a excellent rating.
Thanks.
Erick.

The game's playability is decreased by the control design. The game tries to add to many special combinations for dunking or layups, for example. The previous games, all you needed to do to dunk was be close enough to the rim and press the shoot button. Now you need to press L1 + square, triangle, circle, or" x". Graphics are good, but not great.
