Am I the only one who thinks this game is tight? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

I love this game. I tweaked the camera a little and found the perfect angle.

The game definitely has its "moments" but I am diggin the hell out of it.

I'm glad to hear it, there has been a lot of negativity surronding this game and Madden for the 360 lately.

don't get me wrong it's not perfect, but it's not bad, there are things EA does need to work for sure next year.

That's a big problem. There aren't any that seem to allow a good view of everything. At least I haven't found any.

Re: Am I the only one who thinks this game is tight?

live and madden SUCK... S U C K for franchise players. yes i'm directly bashing EA but it's the damn truth. i'm so mad right now i can't even speak after finding out madden choked out their franchise with a poor stat engine and Live just decided against including it at all. i'm done with the EA bashing... they've left a bad taste in my mouth.

Pared... sigh... what's is a guy to do?

Brian, I am using the Press Box camera with the zoom all the way to the right and the height all the way to the right, minus 2 notches.

I believe it is 8 and 10.

...Graphics are nice. Camera angle could be improved. Speed could be upped a tad. It's much better than what the reviews have to say.

I definitely agree.. This game is MUCH better than the negative reviews...at least the game it'self....I understand people who hate that things were taken away. But as it is I think its tigt...I think 2k is better, but Im SOOOO glad I didn't have to choose just one. Im enjoying the hell out of both..

What exactly makes 2k6 better? To be honest, personally, I don't use the franchise feature, only season mode and 5 on 5 games against my buds. The lack of superstar moves, don't know if that's a big concern, mainly due to the abuse of this feature.

In my case, and for others with my taste and style of play, how would you rate the gameplay/game? I deduce that Live is getting low ratings mainly due to a lack of these features, am I wrong? If that's the case, and the gameplay is solid, then I will be buying this game without question!!

Re: Am I the only one who thinks this game is tight?

for one, NBA2k6 emulates how each NBA team plays. and... the 360 version is much much better even than the previous gen systems at this. each player plays like their real life players almost to a tee. the AI is simply extraordinary in nba2k6 for the 360.

one of the developers took the gripes from the xbox version and fixed them all for the 360 version. took almost all the bugs out so far. crazy.

the game is completely different than last year's version. it's basically a brand new game, so leave all preconvieved notions at the door.

it's a flat out simulation of basketball and probably the best sim of any sport i've played, and that including winning 11 and any hockey game to date.

Calvenn, for you, NBA Live could be the better game, but who knows. as far as the person who wants a true reprentation of the NBA, it's 2k6 hands-down. for the casual gamer, i could see Live being a good choice.
