Will they?
Pros:
Nice graphics
nice superstar abilities
Don't have to purchase all jerseys since it's not alot
Marv and Steve Kerr doing comentary
online mode is pretty cool
Cons:
-Horrible rebounds:(I mean it's a miracle whenever I get a rebound offensivly or defensivly. On superstar, this makes winning impossible, on all star I get only 15 rebounds and the computers get 45, and when I win, I win by small margines. Even if I got Tim Duncan and Nazir Mohommed jumping for the ball, magicly Earl Boykins ends up with the ball. I mean come on.)
-Clutch time stupidity: EA always has this as a burden, the computer can be down by 13 with 2:00 minutes to go, then all of a sudden it's all up to a final possesion.
-Realistic to unrealistic:(This game is was to silky smooth fast paced, and it keeps the same style of the previous live, unfortunatly the pace of 2005 was more suited for this style)
-Match everything:(Because of rebounding, it was like the computer would score on every possession despite I shot 57% and they shot 37%. It's just an unfair advantage. If I shot that low, The other team would blow the game wide open.
NBA Live 2006 is just another EA attempt at trying to make a better NBA 2K, and they once again suck major bottie crack at doing it. This is just flat out sad. Out of all NBA's since the new freestyle controls, I found the first one NBA live 2003 to be the best. That game was pure freestyle, and more power to the people. Every live after that tended to go into the computer's direction, and if that's so, then NBA live 2006 has succeded. The only fun I have is playing against friends or online, but never against the computers. So unrecamendale unless you love live to death.
peace
Customer Review: No better than last year
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
NBA 06 is kind of fun, but not really good. I mean, it has the exact same features as NBA 2005. The slam dunk contest, dynasty mode,season mode and everything else. The only new feature that they added this year was that freestyle superstar thing, where each player has a certain type of personality. For example, A. Iverson is a shooter, Lebron James is a highflyer, etc. But who cares about that? It doesn't really make the game anymore exciting than last year's version. It also doesn't affect how the players perform on the court. They'll still shoot the same and defend the same as always. When EA created Madden 06, they actually took time to add more than one new feature that people would actually care about. They added the new QB vision cone, superstar mode, rad new features to franchise mode and more. Then, people bought it because it was new AND exciting. NBA Live 06 isn't like that. They only added one new boring feature and the rest are the same as last year. To whoever is reading this, if you haven't bought it yet, don't waste your money on it when you can buy NBA 2005 for $12 and still get the same thing. If you have bought it, return it to the store and keep NBA 2005. Anyway, I think they could have done alot better when they made this game
