Yep thats the correct one. What did you use UPS ground?

I was just hoping to have it bak to you by monday but ah well. Its pretty unplayable right now with no edits.

I sent it regular postal mail. It most likely went out Tuesday so hopefully you'll get it by monday.

i like the new system. it takes a while to get it down but once u do it feels right.
and the only reason it takes a while is because there is no tutorial on it or practice mode so u have no idea at first how to release it. but once u do. its great. and i personally would like it to stay the same. IMO its better than the nba 2k series's system [before 2k6] where u had to push both analogue sticks together.

i got it for 20 bucks and its pretty decent with out pm's sliders and etc

Are you serious?

Man this game was nothing but a pain in the *** for me until playmakers released his rosters and settings. If you load this game up and play it just as EA released it I'll give you 5 days max before it gets put away somewhere in storage by you. Don't get me wrong for $20 bucks it provides great graphics and atmosphere but that's about it. But in terms of gameplay you should consider it a steal if you download playmakers rosters and settings. I had this game on pause since december before I lucked up and found playmakers work posted at another site.

This maybe be the only time I agree with Kash.

BUT...I may need to D/L the save file JUST not to agree with him.

Re: Is Live 06 360 worth 40 bucks?

I don't think it's wrong to like the game right out the box without any of my edits.

In fact what it does is play more uptempo run and gun Phoenix Suns style basketball. That's not a knock against EA they obviously felt like that is the direction the NBA is going in the future.

But what I basically tried to accomplish was get the CPU to also play a controlled game of basketball by running half court sets and taking advantage of the good low post scoring PF's and C's in this game. I wanted to get most teams playing a different style than Phoenix and also make sure only the top players on offense would be the highest focus instead of guy's like Bruce Bowen or Ryan Bowen jacking up shots simply because they play the SF posistion.

We all have our own views as to what is SIM STYLE play and what is not in these games. I enjoy more set plays and movement in basketball with less ISO's, 3's and fast break. I think for the most part I've accomplished my goal which is different from EA's goal. The best way to see this style of play I wanted is to down load the the rosters I posted take the game up to Super Star Level and use the Player Lock feature for like one game (45 Minutes of your time) and you'll probably see a game that you didn't know existed by the CPU in the halfcourt game.

It get's pretty amazing watching them move the ball 3-5 times on a single possession if a shot isn't there right away. It's different from them taking the very first shot down court they touch the ball but like I said sometimes you do get that in the NBA today. The league is trying to go more uptempo and maybe that's why EA felt like this style was more appropriate. Just aslong as they leave the option to customize their game I don't have any problems with what direction they want to go. Heck their Hockey game was the same way but they provided options to slow it down somewhat aswell.

In my season, Delonte West couldnt miss a 3, let alone get to the line at will as my PF and C stood there while he proceeded to have a dunk-o-rama on my home floor. Same with Ricky Davis.... I had to have 3 guys on them to stop them from driving. If i left any room a 3, or a mid range shot that ALWAYS went in.

The game is okay out of the box, but you get tired of it rather quickly.

PM I did what you did with the past two Live's in 2004. I asked CV and Admiral for a little input, checked out ID 04's playsets and it changed the game dramatically. I enjoyed it to the fullest, especially playing with the 96 Bulls in a season.

Anyhow I think its worth 20 even 40 bucks, but IMO not 60.

Re: Is Live 06 360 worth 40 bucks?

BTW, PM, I got your package!

Im going to mail it back off tomorrow. You didnt have to pay for postage for return mail bro, I would've gladly sent it back with no problem.

Im interested in the classic teams as well, so lets do it again.

Im going to put a couple of bucks in here to pay you for that postage back. next time around i'll give you a few more bucks for the service.

I don't need any money man.

It's no problem. But yeah once you get that back I should have the Legends Rosters up and then send it right back to you ASAP. I might send it priority mail next time (2-3 days).

The Classic rosters look pretty sick. I got Bill Walton looking like BIG RED and Jack Sikma looks as real as possible. I got the old school Converse on Walton with kneee high socks and two all white knee pads and his multi colored Blazers headband.

I got Rodman tatooed all over with low socks and red hair and his huge nose that he has in real life. But dude has rebounding ratings of 99/99 on offense and defense and it really shows because he goes after boards like crazy.

If you switch the settings to Super Star don't forget to switch it to Player Lock and set the speed at 70. I haven't figured out any way to play on Super Star yet without Player Lock. But it plays pretty sweet on that Level.

You just have to make a few changes to the Sliders I posted in the Super Star thread up in the Slider Forum.

Re: Is Live 06 360 worth 40 bucks?

I'll try that, but that works without edits?

They don't committ any fouls on the Human team for some reason. EA programmed the damn game to not committ any fouls unless you controll every player and even then you won't get many fouls on Super Star.

With Player Lock it plays more realistic on that Level. All-Star is fine you can play like normal it's just that EA screwed up Super Star Level.

Re: Is Live 06 360 worth 40 bucks?

Not surprised. It happens every year with some aspect of the game.

Hopefully these edits make my purchase an enjoyable one because 2k6 is getting stale to me now

Just wanted to give PM a thumbs up, because patronage like this is what this site is all about, IMO.
