    "Live" has become stale and needs to be redone ... so all you "Live" lovers, there is a new sheriff in town -- and it's NBA 2K6.

    This year's game clears up almost any blemishes that may have carried over through the years, and perfects the package in a way that blew my socks off.

    If you're a big basketball fan, go out and buy NBA 2K6, because it's a must and officially it's extremely accurate.

    Have played previous versions of this game, so was pretty used to it, I love the improvements to the in game feel, and the shot stick just makes those dunk more satisfying, some slight improvements still need to be done to the gameplay, Live you need to take notes.… Expand

    It doesn't feel right. But...you could do alot worse than NBA 2K6. Live 2006 for example.
