NBA Live is a disgrace to EA sports and I cannot recommend that you buy this game.

User Rating: 4.5 | NBA Live 06 PS2
EA's NBA Live has been the top-selling basketball franchise for quit some time, but does that mean that NBA Live is the best NBA game on the market? They are currently battling against NBA 2K6 and I'd have to say that NBA 2K6 is clearly the superior of the 2 games.

NBA Live 06 suffers from a lot of flaws. First off the game's gameplay is pretty brutal, and the AI in the game can be outraegously retarded. The players will sometimes be behind the net and take a shot, the ball will just hit the glass and go out of bounds and causes a turnover. Although the game's controls are pretty easy to learn, the game is very laggy and will freeze on you occasionally. Also, the graphics engine EA has been using is starting to show it's age. This game doesn't look good at all, and is probably one of the worst things about this game. The game doesn't present itself well either, the game isn't very appealling and the graphics and sound are brutal. The game has a new thing called superstar moves,a guy like Steve Nash is able to make marvellous passes, but this feature is bad because it makes the game feel unrealistic and arcady.

Unfortunatly this game doesn't improve from last year's game and i'm sorry to say that even if you're a NBA Live fan then you shouldn't even give this game a rent. NBA Live is a disgrace to EA sports and I cannot recommend that you buy this game.
