IGN Reviews Live 360

Re: IGN Reviews Live 360

So are you giving it the same score as IGN because there is no Franchise?? Can you make a comment about the gameplay please, I know you said sometimes it gets herky Jerky, but what about the overall gameplay??

imo, out of the box current gen isnt very friendly towards team styles and them playing like they do in reallife... i would doubt that this generation is any different from what ive heard so far.

so, im taking a wait and see approach, yet again.,

Re: IGN Reviews Live 360

Wow first IGN was stupid for giving the current Gen game a high score and a million guy's (2K fans) claimed that EA was paying them off.

Now, IGN gives the game low score and they are all of a sudden smarter.....

I guess I'm not understanding because they were dumb back in september when the EA released the current system game and now they are smart because the score was lower.

Looks like the best way to really decide is to play the game for yourself and then evaluate. But it is amazing how IGN went from most hated in september to most liked and respected here in November since the scores were flipped upside down......

And now there are conspiracy theories ON the conspiracy theories.

Re: IGN Reviews Live 360

vs. amazon.com top 20 sales chart ALREADY! i think they'll feel that the overwhelming response is positive because of all the people buying it....

At the end of the day, that's all that matters. Don't like the stripped down features, don't buy it. Want to give it a test drive? Download it.

The irony is that some people were up in arms about the Fox article to Not Buy A 360, but this IGN review is good because it'll teach EA a lesson?

Which one is it going to be?

I think it's a slap in the face to call people who buy NBA Live casual gamers. You need to dead all your allegiences just for a second to realize that GROWN men and women have different preferences in life.

And no Article or Review is going to persuade an adult from spending their hard earned money however they feel like.

People know what they're buying. Especially the people who frequent OS. How long ago did we learn about No Franchise, No ASW, etc., etc., etc.? It wasn't yesterday.

You would think people would come together with a new console out but people are actually bickering more. You have options, use them.

I agree 100%

I've played B-Ball all my life and I'm far from a casual gamer. The guy's who throw out these words are very funny in my opinion. They assume only a causl gamer or guy who knows very little about basketball can really enjoy NBA Live.

That is far from the truth and I have like 3 buddies who've all played at some level of college ball that really enjoy NBA Live much like myself. The term Realsim and casual is basically a personally opinion when it comes to games simply because we all have different ways of percieving how things should be overall.

Re: IGN Reviews Live 360

Useless review IMO. I didn't tell me about the things I really need know like the actual gameplay. They only talked about Freestyle superstar being gone and that's why the gameplay suffered. No mention of fast breaks, offensive boards, defense, etc.

9.0 Presentation
Playable loading screen is the highlight of the game. Unfortunately, the game eventually loads.
8.5 Graphics
Amazing player models who drip sweat. It's the closest you can get to watching Jason Kidd take a shower.
9.0 Sound
The crowd comes alive after big plays, and the team of Kerr and Marv call a nice game.
6.0 Gameplay
Think Live 2005 with better player models. The loss of Superstar moves really takes the game back a notch.
3.0 Lasting Appeal
No All-Star Weekend, no Dynasty mode, no Superstar moves, limited online play and gameplay far less appealing than its competitor, NBA 2K6. There's not much here to keep you coming back for more.

You can tell they based a lot of this review off the things that were missing. To me, these thing don't matter much if any at all. I'll hope Gamespot has a better review. If they hammer the game because it plays bad, fine, then I'll know not to pick it up, but inform the readers of the actual things that pertain to the game of BASKETBALL, not just saying it sucks cause ASW is gone or dynasty is gone.

If it's based off a 2005 then that's not bad in my opinion. I'll just put in some work with the gameplay settings and if the other stuff is truly top notch then I'm going to love this Live.

It's a good thing I saved all my playbooks for 2005.....

Ironically, I don't know what society you live in but mostly everything that we view can be influenced by what we read about first and foremost. Honestly, I do hear what you're saying and that does make sense when you put it in the mindset of someone that doesn't follow what he's told. However, look at our music culture, our clothes style, the different "mainstream" pastimes, and then reconsider your thought about this review thing. Reviews are basically the standard of thought for doing almost anything whether they are on paper, internet, word of mouth....they do persuade more than you want to acknowledge.

No offense but a lot of you guys are taking this score a little more seriously than you really should. It's a mediocre mainstream review site that basically doesn't cater to half of us on here. We're all sports gamers with exceptions in the bunch. Why care what review they give to whatever game? Personally, I have my likes. Can't nobody tell me that NBA 2K6 didn't step up enough for the next-gen cause I know what I was looking for. I like how they tweaked the gameplay, increased A.I., worked on stringing together the different frames for more fluidity, fixed the bugs, and all that other stuff. I'm impressed by them still. I could care less what anyone talks about them cause I know I'm going to put my wallet up for that game.

Live, I'm not a Live guy but I'm sure that Playmakers, BigEast, Raw, and others have their minds made up about their games. Ya'll love Live just like I love 2K. It shows by how much time we spend. I'm glad that both game stepped up. That's all I was expecting. I'm impressed by both whether gameplay is shotty or visuals are shotty. I can find my silver lining in my game. I sure as hell better cause it's $60, but I'm sure that I will enjoy it regardless just like those who purchase their games. It's what YOU make of it.......

I'm not getting either game.

And, more importantly, I'm not trying to influence anyone to get one and not get another.

Hey PM,

I ended up buying LIVE360. I can't wait to try your sliders and playbooks when they become available.
