    PSM gives LIVE 8.5



    NBA LIVE 06

    Freestylin' ain't just for BMX games

    "...When you're controlling a superstar, L1 is a shift key, and combining it with a face button performs a different slick move. Better still, there are six categories-playmaker (Steve Nash), power player (Shaq), sharpshooter (Peja), etc.-and each type has unique moves. The array of jumpers, passes and dunks is awesome, and endlessly satisfying.

    The rest of your team then gets involved off of your superstars, just like in the NBA. Double-team Shaq and he can kick out to Antoine for a wide-open 18-footer. That's right: Live 06 has a mid-range game. Yes!

    Only a few breakdowns keep 06 from perfection. Both you and the CPU will too-often shoot balls out of bounds off the back of the glass (huh?), missed dunks and lay-ups are too frequent, and animations are a mix of awesome and atrocious. Still, a now-online All-Star Weekend, another solid franchise mode, and naturally controlling gameplay make Live a winner again."

    SCORE 8.5

    SHAQ

    +Satisfying Freestyle moves; great pacing; mid-range J's matter; two-player's a blast.

    -Missed dunks and lay-ups; spotty animations; occasional AI flaws.

      Here it is and from the looks of it, they didnt play the real 2K6(final copy).


      NBA2K6

      Pros: 24/7 mode; solid commentary; loose ball fouls; TV camera, boxout command

      Cons: Like last year with the Isomation button, the new Shot Stick has the same "poor-man's-Live" results, it's not as intuitive and takes several games to get the feel for it and even when you do, you still can't pull off the same breadth of moves you can in EA's offering. Animations hit-and-miss; game chooses when you dunk because they haven't adapted to the idea of one button shoots, one button dunks.

        It wasn't in-depth enough, it looks like early reviews, since the magazine comes out monthly, maybe they'll have another one [I have no clue, I'm speculating].

          I'd recommend the mods delete both threads. Its a early review, from an early title, from an OBVIOUS non NBA regular reviewer... stop all this non sense and IGNORE this crap.

          "Both you and the CPU will too-often shoot balls out of bounds off the back of the glass (huh?), missed dunks and lay-ups are too frequent"
          that OOB thing has been in the game for some time now.... and have we not seen or heard of sliders? sounds to me like they pop the game in, play two games, and review.. without looking at any type of FEATURES or OPTIONS.

          I'm getting fed up...i might take a 2 month hiatis from the boards until everything clears up

            why the hell should the thread be deleted? because you don't like the scores? people come here to get info on sports games, and this is the first reviews these games have gotten. get over it!

              because its like a blind man scouting players for the NFL draft. Its not even about the "score". its about the context of both reviews.... i guess its best for me to ignore

                  honestly if 2k6 got the 8.5 and live got the lower it still wouldnt make up for the ridiculous reviews for both games. im definately not letting this review spoil either game for me. ill wait till big sites like ign, gamespot, os, ect to get it and go from there. magazine reviews are usually always weak anyways.

                      black wiz. c'mon man. 2k has been sim oriented for awhile now. OS is made up of sim heads.... Ive bought every live for the past 10 YEARS, every 2k game since 2k1. Just because 2k is the more popular game on a SITE that has SIM ballers, doesnt mean Live won't get equal recognition from everyone for its pros and cons.

                      My point DW is that the reviews are not valid. They are from old builds from unexperienced sports gamers. Invalid assesments on their part. Seeing as how they are stirring the pot, everyone should take a step back and forget this even happened, because we learned NOTHING from both reviews

                        Wally, that's simply not fair to say.

                        And you may be wrong about OS's makeup. The majority of people who POST here may be "sim heads" but the board is much larger than that.

                        And to dismiss this review is just as fair as dismissing the 2K4 reviews that came out. To say delete a thread because you disagree with it is simply not right.

                        The boards will be heading in a horrible direction if they start doing that. Horrible.

                        Some of you get way too emotional about these things. You take these reviews to heart like your life depends on them.

                          Re: PSM gives LIVE 8.5

                          ^u basically said wat i was about to say


                          theres no need to delete the review just because you and a few heads on like it....its a real review, and thats enough reason for it to stay un deleted

                          Like i said, if NBA 2k6 got the higher review, but the review for Live had stupid reason as to why the reviewer disliked it, there wouldnt be anyone sayin "delete the thread" cuz everyone will be sayin "told you 2k is the better game" (even if its some short bogus review)


                          The threads fine, it shouldnt be deleted, it must be affecting you to the point where you simply cant ignore it, and you just dont want to see it in the board, and if thats the case....then i feel sorry for you

                          because, some of yall get to homotional, and its not that serious

                            lol....is this why we have all of these 2k fanboys dissing lives gameplay because of graphics....or still calling Live an arcade game, when, from what i've seen, its not an arcade game......There are a few sim heads.....but from wat i've seen, the majority is fanboys, from both the Live section and 2k section, who judge both games for lil things, but then when their game is being judged by the other, all of a sudden those lil things dont matter

                            Trust me, from wat i've seen, there are more fanboys frontin as un biased gamers

                            btw, im not one of them....

                              I ain't going to lie on here. I'm coming out the closet and saying that I'm a 2K fanboy. But I honestly have a liking towards NBA Live. It's hard to get into to it and I just can't understand how it's played. It's just not that type of gameplay I'm use to. Never could get into it because it just seemed overdone sometimes. Kind of cheaty and crap like that. Ironically, I'm looking to get into both games this year before I even think about upgrading to next-gen. I feel they both have a place in my heart, with 2K being the more favored child of course.
