Feels like Christmas again as a grown man! Thanks EA, because I thought I would never feel that much excitement again!

I owe EA 50 more Bucks, because I would have paid $100 for this game easy! The dunk condest could be a game all in it's self! (It's that much content there) Don't be fooled by the lamer gamer below who does not know how to play this game... because when I get Allen Iverson, I can cross up anyone! This game offers you 2 games in 1... the dunk contest is just as deep and the game... Jake I don't see ESPN offering that! (Jake is the EA hater above my post) and in response to Jake saying that I didn't mention any negatives about the game... to be honest this is the first time I have played a game and have not had any suggestions on how to improve the game... IT'S that good to me Jake... and trust me I only play the best games (i.e. Vice City, Madden, NCAA... which was better than Madden this year!, BattleField Vietnam PC, DefJam Fight for NY... Star Wars BattleFront, Mortal Kombat...) So Jake if I like Live amongst these revolutionary titles... it has to be something... dont try and sway ppl in the wrong direction Jake... when ppl compare EA to ESPN it's like comparing Beyonce to Sally Jessie Raphael!... come on! Graphics - This game offers the best Graphics that I have ever witnessed in a video game... is this game in HD? I'm a 20 year hard core gamer, and this game is the best by far. By the way PLEASE DONT GET ESPN, I saw that game and it truly Su@ks! Their graphics are so blocky! Sound - Kenny "the jet" Smith is awesome calling the play-by-play during the dunk contest, excellent choice of music! Game Play - The free style stick is amazing this year because the spin actually works, that's the move for this year to get you open... the spin. And for the lamer gamer below read your manual to understand how to fast break. They even have a move so you can "snake" through the lane. (Press right or left on the F/S Stick once in the lane and he will "snake" through... it's so much about this game that you have to find out. DUNK CONTEST - Thank you EA Thank you! The Dunk contest offers so much variety that I can't even tell you how many different dunks you can come up with off the top of my head I would at least say 200 or so maybe more? And that is conservative. I know there is at least 25 differents lobs you can do and they change from every angle. (Off the shot clock, off your elbow... whatever you want!) EA you all were true geniuses coming up with the scheme in terms of how the user would dunk. Summary - Once again this is NOT a "button Mashing" game like ESPN... this is for gamers who know about Basketball, for gamers know the difference between a Zone and a man defense and know how to beat both, not a game for babys who play the game once and drop it, because they cant hump the learning curve. YOU HAVE MY WORD THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER KNOWN TO EA!!!! Suggestions for EA - You all may want to take a long hard look into making a new game as a spin-off of NBA Live just for the dunk contest... call it like "Dunk-Off 2006"! But knowing you all I KNOW it's already in the making!
