If you're not "digging" the game, then wouldn't logic dictate that you return the game for NBA 2K6 instead?

Why do people always have to make things difficult, he asked for opinions...simple as that.

I've played both and I like both. Live has always been better in my opinion, but 2k6 is pretty awesome too.

Not if NBA2K6 sucks even harder, which is what he's asking.

I couldn't tell ya since I have only played Live for a few minutes on a 360 in Best Buy. I'd go ahead and rent 2K6 before you buy it. This should probably be in the OT forum or General NBA, though.

I have Live and and 2K6. The graphics are way better on Live in my opinion. One of my friends kept bugging me to get 2K6 I personally don't like it. He swears by it.

drzucchini thanks for your smart remark but wouldn't logic dictate that if 2K6 sucks as-well why turn in nba live and spend more money , im better of just keeping live 06. To everyone else who answered , thanks for your help... this is the reason why i hardly ever post anyting cause there is always some smart a!@# giving there two cents.

Live is horrible to bad you were suckered in to buying it sell it for credit for 2k6 which is good.

Also check gamerankings.com for ratings of each game from diffrent sites it adds them all together for an overall score. NBA 2k games always win that battle since its just plain and simple a better product. Live has been horrible for years. I guess some people would like live since its arcade, however its not a good arcade game either so......

Nba 2k6 is graphically superior only if u have HD tv as well. It is a port kind of and on a regulat tv, its only a little better than the xbox version, jus a heads up if you are a big graphics guy, reads some reviews, and ull find out which is better.

I like live better than 2K6. 06 is just more realistic in my opinion.

One of the best parts of live 06 is the way teams run on a fast break. One guy in the middle with one or two guys on the wing.

There is a learning curve on NBA live 06 because it is very different than the previous versions. Playing defense is kinda tricky and the other team will grab a ton of offensive rebounds if you don't time your jump correctly.

I almost gave up on live 06 right after I got it as well but I did a little research and stuck with it and now I love it.

For tips on slider settings (for more realistic gameplay) and general gameplay (playing defense, rebounding and play calling) you should check out the boards at www.nba-live.com

Hope that helps.

Not sure if ull get half the credit back, those game stores, are theifs, its been like 4 mths since nba live 06 for x360 came out. Anyway yea i knew live 06 wouldnt be for me, they stripped everything off the game , only a season and few other stuff was left on, and too top it of they made it 60 dollars.

Live has sliiiiightly better graphics.

But even then, on live the players' movements don't look real.

2k series has more fluid movements even if the graphics are slightly less
refined.

2k series (2k6 included) has FAR, FAR, FAR better gameplay and control.

2k6 times a million.
