Re: Is this game really that bad????

Does Live 06 suck? Nah...not really BUT there are other basketball titles out there that I have played this year that for MYSELF I like way more than Live 06...and because there are people out there like me that exist..you know..ones when given a choice migiht not choose the Might EA title, EA will figure out a way sooner or later to make sure if I want an NBA title its gonna be Live or nothing.

LOL, I wonder what "other" game out there you've played this year?!? :y4: :y4: Still, I was asking about the reviews because I don't really trust in reviews. A lot of them take it from different aspects. Of course, there might be reviews that get all the positives and negatives down. That's one reason why I'm not into reviews anymore seriously, kind of like movie reviews. If I'm into it, then I'll go for it. If not, then hell naw. I know that the best way to get a good experience with something such as video games would be to talk to people that are into similar things like I am. Me, I'm still finding out what I like. I'm still trying to understand the game of basketball already. I just like to hear what people think about reviews. I could care less what people think is the best game. I have one already. I'm tight on money so I'm just wondering. If there's someone in this forum that seems to have a good response to a good review that sums up great, good, mediocre, and horrible things in the game(s), drop a line....

It's unfortunate that the anti-Madden, anti-EA sentiment is carried over to Live. Live is not Madden. Live is a very good game, adjustable to fit a sim or arcade style. It's a big leap from Live 05, and I for one will give credit where its due. More things, good and bad, will reveal themselves as we continue to play.

I think your comment concerning carry over is a fair one. Personally, I think that Live is a much better game than Madden, especially in the area of graphics where I almost can't believe that it's an EA game until the relatively EA proportions of the bodies give it away

With more playing time, I'm starting to see that there are a lot of differences in the gameplay, but for the advances, the Superstar feature just seems too much of a safety net

When I rated Madden, I think I gave it something in the mid to high sevens. I think this game is in the mid-8 range overall

One thing related to EA, they deserve the grief that they inspire from the gaming community with their corporate initiatives. If they are looking to be the only game in town as they are, they had best assure that their games are well beyond reproach -- a tall order and one I don't think they can fill, honestly

Have fun......................

Re: Is this game really that bad????

No offense but if the question was something that you weren't not going to answer in a way that would be appropriate to me, then why answer it? I know you're a Live fanboy to the heart. I understand that you're defending your company. I'm asking a question as to how honest the reviews were for those who were playing the game. I haven't read any of them due to me not being online on a constant basis. My decision, just like many others, is a decision that I have from my own experience, but just like any other thing in the world....I like to hear from others. Good reasons to hear about opinions from others: Cars, televisions, computers, gaming, female friends....ect.

As I was posting before: Do you guys honestly feel that the reviews that ya'll have seen have been a correct depiction of what ya'll are playing: score w/review?? Just curious. If I wrote anything flamatory on here, disregard because I'm just excited to be on the internet once again. Point it out if you must. That's you....

LOL@ fanboy and my company.

I don't take reviews to heart like some of you nor do I need to type a 300-word essay explaining why I dislike a videogame. This board has been through this for years now. Both games are out and I'm sure you've played at least one of them by now. If another's review is still that important to you then it's a shame.

No the game is not bad at all - After tweaking with Playmaker's sliders, the game is more sim oriented. Live plays well and if you liked Live 2005, you'll like '06 as well as Aaron said in his review. I like the fact that you can customize players in this game better than 2K6 (official shoes ruin any chance you have of doing much with shoe edits) and also that you can use alternate jerseys in home games as in real life.

The gameplay is solid with slider edits and the Superstar moves are fun to use and overall, this game is fun to play. I still prefer 2K6, but Live isn't a bad game by any stretch

Re: Is this game really that bad????

I have to agree, I got it on Xbox, and edited the sliders, and it plays great on superstar 2v2, and against the computer. I actually had a challenge against the computer because I wasn't hitting everything like some that didn't edit sldiers complained about. The dunking was also toned down a lot, I was getting collision animations and fouls or blocks when attempting dunks, so it's definately quite good.
