NBA live 06 looks better . No really. Just Google NBA live 06 360

I'd love to hear some comparisons to NBA Live 10 on the PS3/360. It sounds like Live 14 has taken many steps backwards from that game.

play with action camera on, and shooting with player ratings for best results. well....the best you can get

Actually NOT a step back OR a step forward but a very plausible "the same"

meaning IN EASports Camera mode you can have pretty much "the same" experince MINUS sliders MINUS commentary.

There IS a silver lining and i'm working on trying to get something to you guys SOON about the coaching options that of which CAN be edited and CAN act as sliders to SOME degree BUT its hardly the BEST fix it becomes "plausible"/"playable"

Personally i am SICK of the NBA 2k12 next gen server and saving issues...

This game doesnt have that.

the game scored 3.5 the game scored 4.8 the game averages about a 48% on Metacritic BUT given somethought into the coaching options and some other settings and its LIKE a HD version of NBA Live 10

I like that i dont love that but i like it ENOUGH.

3 things though

Game SHOULD have sliders
Game SHOULD allow you to edit player attributes EVEN if it would turn OFF synergy
Game SHOULD have a custom camera OR just make the Nets barclay Center ESPN camera its default all the time(its AWESOME) makes animation look even better)
and lastly...

Create a player THAT CAN BE added to reg rosters you've then created

The biggest difference is defense in this game is pretty bad ...given, a lot of Live 10's defense was the result of suction and two man animations at the rim...it worked for what it was. In this game the animations rarely interact like they should....when I say that on the hardest level you can turbo to the lane and score constantly, I am not exaggerating. Sundown's post a little ways up described it perfectly...you can tell they are trying to get away from two mans but there simply aren't enough animations implemented to counteract what the offense does...

Ignore the two posts above me comparing this to Live 10. It's maybe 15% of Live 10, no more.


- The animations in Live 10 were much better
- The controls were MUCH more responsive
- You could play decent D in Live 10
- Live 14 has almost no collision detection once a canned animation has started on a drive or dunk
- The commentary is 14 is disgraceful
- The jumpshot animations in Live 10 were better and had way more varied, signature one's
- The AI was 10 times better in Live 10
- The menus in Live 14 are sluggish


I could go on. But this is not Live 10. It is Elite and Live 13. I still have the Elite demo on my PS3 and there are extensive gameplay clips of the Live 13 beta on Youtube.
