    Is anyone besides myself even enjoying this game?

    I purchased this game (NBA Live '07) Wednesday afternoon, and have been enjoying it (not as much as NBA 2k7, though) but have been exploring some NBA Live forums over the past few days and have noticed this game has been receiving alot of beef. I understand why, but it seems like no one is enjoying the game at all.

    Is there anyone that is enjoying the game to an extent?

    I haven't played 2K7, but the more I play Live the more I like it. I don't have any regrets.

        That's good to hear, guys. For a sec there, I thought I was only one of the few people that have enjoyed some of the aspects of NBA Live.

          I'm enjoying it alot.......yes the animations are grating......but the whole presentation and fun factor is what keeps me coming back.

          I love the graphics,the arenas,the crowd and commentary.I like the flow of the game.nothing about it ever bores me.I will play an entire season.
          everytime I play it I am reminded of why I bought a 360.
          next year it will be smoothed out(I hope)
          but its fun now,and they have a great next gen building block.

            I love this game. You're right, it's not as good as 2k7, but it still puts the icing on the cake if you have both games!

              Yes. I even like it better than 2K7.

                I am enjoying the game for the fun factor and graphics. I also purchased 2k7. Both games compliment each other.

                  This game is PURE TRASH!!! I'm really puzzled as to how anyone can enjoy this mockery.

                  I purchased BOTH Live and 2K7 and about 1 full complete game of Live...I went back to the store and got my $49.99 back.

                  The gameplay is HORRIBLE to say the least. It just doesn't flow right. The default settings plays way too slow and the player movements is very sloppy.

                  However probably the worst aspect of the game is the players shooting mechanics. Are you kidding me? They all look like they're shooting onm the way down and the arc on their shots is like watching a little boy trying to shoot on a 10 foot.

                  Personally I enjoyed Live 06 more. Yes it didn't have all the extra added stuff that 07 has....but the gameplay (minus the crappy camera angle) was much better IMO and the player's shooting techniques were much more realistic.

                  I like, okay LOVE, the fact that Live decided to start from scratch on the next-gen systems (something hopefully 2K will do in 08). The graphics are absolutely stunning and the game set-up is great as well.

                  Hopefully EA will decide to leave the graphics just the way they are for 08 and instead focus exclusively on gameplay + animations + realism.

                  Sadly I was disappointed in 07 but I remain optimistic for 08. I've played and supported EA Sports NBA Franchise since Lakers V Celtics......but this pile of garbage that seemed rushed, I can not endorse or support.

                    This game is a work in progress. EA is doing the transition that they did with MVP Baseball. I feel EA's game will very good in 1-2 years cause they went with a new engine and are putting some decent innovations like foot planting which makes players have actually weight to them.

                      So what youre really saying is that we will finally get the Live that we SHOULD have when we are in year 4 or 5 in the series on the next gen...just when we might start seeing the new generation of consoles starting to come out and the cycle starts over again.

                        Maybe it's just ME, but I HATE the new "foot planting" system. During gameplay, the player's shots just don't look right (timing way off). However when you replay the shot, it looks great and very realistic. Unfortunately this does NOT translate in real-time gameplay. Maybe with a little tweaking, this feature will be improved in next year's version.

                          Then EA needs to put out a Beta for free and stop charging $50+ for a half a$$ed product. That's disrespectful to a consumer to put out a "work in progress"
                          Dios mio, por favor dame paciencia con estos jugadores que aceptan productos "glitchy"

                            To the Original Poster

                            There are guy's who are enjoying the game man. Some of them don't post anymore in the Live forums but trust me they've let me know they are liking the game. Most of them posted earlier when the game was first released but the negative vibe that flowed over to the Live forums kinda killed the atmophere over here. But trust me I get PM's all the time as to what to change in the sliders so you aren't the only guy playing just one of the few like myself posting anymore. They just don't bother reading all the negative crap and I've agreed with them because it's had several threads locked already. But nbalivenation is a good site to go to if you want to get help from guy's who are playing the game and there's not much non-sense going over there from what I saw when I registered.

                            My theory is we can't all like the same things and that's why there's an option to play two basketball games instead of one. If enjoy Live just don't worry about who doesn't like the game because that will be the case every year. Aslong as you enjoy it that should be the most important thing.

                              I'm really trying to enjoy this game but I can't. Every time I put it in, within 10 minutes I take it out and put 2K7 in.
