  1. NBA Live 07 improves on its predecessor best feature: the graphics. The game looks unbelievably good. Add to that some new features and improved gameplay, and it’s hard to turn your back on the game.
  2. My recommendations for this game would be to speed it up. The loading in between games and the GM’s desk is way to slow. It has to be faster.
  3. It was just so damn disappointing. For a game that laid such a promising foundation last year, there really hasn’t been as large a leap forward as we would have liked.

    Such a broken game that you'd be better off waiting for NBA Live 08 to hopefully rectify some critical issues.

    Well, I wouldn't go so far to say that - but I do find it enjoyable, and it is a good game for intellectual game players. Its franchise mode is great, and enables users to set lifelike rotations, do a 2006 draft over, and enable to piece your team. Playing with a friend makes it all the more enjoyable. Even better, you can adjust the global sliders as well. It's really a fun game once you understand the nuances of the game. Expand
  3. Right, it has many flaws, but it also has the old all star moves, the al star weekend the old commentators, great presentation and probably the most fun basketball action on Xbox 360, if you find for something like 5 bucks, just get it :D Expand

    This is not a good game, I rented it to get all of the achievements, which I grudgingly did, and I have to say, this could be the worst sports game I have ever played. The gameplay is really dumbed down, I figured this out when I beet a guy who had won 100+, and I had won none, the gameplay is basically chucking the ball down the court so you can dunk it, you can mix it up by shooting 3-pointers, but theres not much of a point. As far as the online go's, it gives you a co-op option, which is a good idea and earns kudos, but what fun is it, if the game isn't even fun? The one glitch that made me more frustrated that anything was the "Double team", once the player you are controlling gets double team he picks up the ball, this might not sound like much, but it bugged the hell out of me. Stay away from this game, the only plus would be the easy (but frustrating) achievements. Expand
