NBA 2K6 for the Xbox 360 was clearly the best basketball game for the Xbox 360 console. I was a huge NBA Live fan but after playing this I changed my mind a little. I had NBA Live 06 at first but after playing it a few times I noticed it was a half finished game. The gameplay for NBA 2K6 was very solid overall. The only problem I had with the gameplay was the dunk animations. It seemed like their hands never even touched the rim at all. It also could have used more block animations but those are just little things to me. The game has all the same modes as the current-gen game but the thing that put NBA 2K6 on top was the online play. NBA 2K6 has online leagues where you can actually play a group of other people through a whole season and playoffs. You can also play an online game with 2-3 other friends on your team. There is rarely any lag time every time I play an online ranked match. With great online play, 24/7 mode, franchise mode ( or the "Association Mode"), and street mode; NBA 2K6 is a game to reckon with. This would be a great game to have in a collection.
