The Best Basketball Game You Can Buy,
By
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: NBA 2K6 (Video Game)
NBA 2K6. There's only one word to describe it, and that is BRILLIANT. It's like an NBA/gamer fan's dream come true. NBA Live games have always dominated when it came to NBA games season after season, but it's only the truth when I say that 2K6 knocks NBA Live 06 right out the box. 2K6 has done a nice step up from last year's game. Of course, the modes, graphics, gameplay, soundtrack, and everything else that makes an NBA game great are perfected here in the most realistic basketball game on the market.The gameplay is tremendous. For the first time in a basketball game, your teammates on the courts will actually jump for a rebound, instead of standing around like idiots. When was the last time THAT happened in NBA Live? So you actually get a little help with rebounding from your other guys, instead of you doing all the work on the boards. Another thing is the right analog stick to be used for shooting. It might take a veteran NBA gamer to get used to this, cause in most games the right stick is used to juke and spin. The left analog is used to shake defenders in this game. Since it is also used to simply move your player around, it will take some getting used to, but after you do it's not a problem at all. The right analog stick is also used to shoot free throws. You have to time it just right to make the shot. You pull the stick down, and hold it as long as you think you should and then let go to shoot. That may be weird as well, but you learn to let the stick go at the right time the more you play. 24/7 mode is brought back once again. As most know, this is where you create your own streetballer and go through streetgames to unlock new gear and get players phone numbers so you can use them as teammates with 2-on-2 games. When you complete all the games at one court you play a superstar to be the king of the court. When you get enough hype, certain celebrities will call you out. 2 of them are Flava Flav and my man Joe Budden (when's the album droppin Joey?). This is a pretty fun mode when you get into it. The Association mode is kinda the same as a normal Franchise mode. You pick a GM and take a team through seasons. In the season you can set up practices, do player development drills (which you perform yourself with a player), and all the normal stuff like trade and release players. Both modes are pretty cool. Certain in-game things are great as well. Before the game starts, they'll pick 2 players to watch for and you see them warming up (which has been on past 2K games). At the end of the 1st quarter, they pick a standout player. At halftime, you see a standout player and his stats and highlights, and also an "Around the Cooler Update" which is pretty cool. Most of the commentary is not repetitive for once, and they actually say things relevant to the game. You're never really bored when playing a game. Also, if you're beating a team pretty badly by the end of the 3rd, your coach will automatically put bench players in so the starts can get a breather. I think that's tight because most other NBA games, when you're killing a team, will not substitute starters even though you're gonna win either way. It adds to the realistic feel. One more thing is that when you're playing against Shaq and the Heat, they'll depend heavily on Shaq getting points in the paint, just like in real life. Definitely something that adds to the game. Also, the great graphics, killer soundtrack (with artists like Jean Grae, RJD2, Zion 1 and others), and the Crib are great extra additions. Just more reasons to buy this game over any other basketball game. You can't forget about the price either. 40 dollars to NBA Live's 50? And this game is better? You can't beat that, no way. So if you're a gamer and an NBA fan, this is the game you need to pick up. You won't be dissapointed at all. Phoenix to take 05-06.

much better than LIve,
By Rob_tattoo (who cares) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: NBA 2K6 (Video Game)
I played Live 06 for about 2 wks b4 getting sick of it. I traded it in for this game, and I definately enjoy this game better. It's much,much more realistic in terms of actual ability and skill than 06. For example: In this game, even if you contest guys like Ray Allen or Peja, they will hit around 75% of their shots. In LIve, even if you contest guys like Derek Fisher and, no joke, Fred Hoiberg, they will score at least 30 every game. NO JOKE!! The actual gameplay is more realistic than Live, as player movement and crowd and cut scenes are better and generally life like. The EBC player you create would be better if they didn't start him off with little to no skill. I mean, even the worst in the NBA have at least 1 definite skill. But besides that, and a soundtrack that sucks a$$, this is a great game. I'm glad I got it, and all I had to do was trade in Live for it.

NBA Live 2006 vs. NBA 2K6,
By
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: NBA 2K6 (Video Game)
So you're looking for an NBA game but don't know which one to get? I shall sort through the good and bad offered in both NBA Live 2006 and NBA 2K6.Between the two I have played (Live '06 and 2K6), I can honestly say NBA 2K6 was a better buy for me. At $20 I've had countless hours of some of the most joyous moments and some of the most frustrating. However, NBA 2K6 is more of an all-around basketball game. If you're good at offense and poor on defense chances are good that you won't win as many games as you might think. But if you're only good at defense and horrible at offense, you won't win much then either. You basically have to play an even game altogether (this is based on All-Star level). For fans of offensive-minded games, look no further than NBA Live 2006. The basic controls are straight-forward and easy to get a hang of so there won't be any real problems for newcomers to the series (such as myself). The best aspect featured in Live '06 is undoubtedly the Freestyle Superstars. My favorite team is the 76ers and to see Allen Iverson pulling off the moves he does in real life on a game is nothing short of a rush. Another highlight is that when you're left wide open for a shot, chances are extremely good that you'll drain it. Whereas on 2K6, you still basically had to have a perfect release. As for the overall look of each game, I'd say that NBA 2K6 steals that as well. When you're looking at Allen Iverson (or any other player for that matter) there's no question who you're looking at. He's got his tattoos, his cornrows, mustache, everything. NBA Live 2006, on the other hand, almost tends to look childish at times. Don't get me wrong, the graphics and dunks are awesome to look at, but as you're dribbling upcourt I can't help but think the player's arms are too long. Of course, that could just be me. 2K6 also seems to have more realistic courts (I could do without the shots of the fans though). NBA 2K6 pros: -Fantastic gameplay -The more you play the more you learn, making it a game you can invest time in -The graphics are great -When you turn up the difficulty it ACTUALLY GETS HARDER NBA 2K6 cons: -Offseason on Legacy mode is kind of lame -Too frustrating at times -When the other team is on a run, it's nearly impossible to hit anything other than a lay-up -Loading time is almost ridiculous NBA Live 2006 pros: -Easy for anyone to pick up and play -Freestyle Superstars -Commentary is a lot better than 2K6 -Dunks are fairly easy to execute and make for some excellent highlights NBA Live 2006 cons: -Camera angle is horrible -Far too offensive-minded -Almost too easy at times -Fouls are called too liberally on you So there you have it, a fairly unbiased view on each game. If Live '06 were to drop down to $20 I'd highly recommend it, because in reality, it really is fun to play. But at $30 I'm not sure if it's worth every penny. Plus, 2K6 has a great street ball mode in addition to the legacy mode, so did Live 06 ever really have a chance? 2115|R19SL88H3D58A1;2115|R3GIF142NV4224;2115|RKS880ES36VM2;
