Definitely soda, i had an xbox, an bought only one nba game for the 3 year i had it, that was nba 2k3, that was simply the best nba game ever made, and might be playing it if my xbox 360 could play it. Whats funny too , was that i traded shaq in that game , because it was boring with him, i traded him too the clipper for odom and jermain o'neal

I just bought live '06 last night because I heard the graphics were great and better than 2K6. I might have to buy 2K6 now then

graphics are nice, i donwload a demo from xbox live 360 and it was tight but thats about all it has, no dynasty , which is what i would usually play. Unfortunately 2k6 doesnt have demo avaialable but im a fan of their game.

Last live i owned was Nba live 01 for my PC. Didnt know that live 06 on Xbox , had a better franchise however, i thought nba 2k6 was still superior in that category, doesnt matter for me anyway because live 06 , on xbox360 is stripped down to nothing, so it wasnt much of a desicison.

2K2 is the best in the series.

2k6 is better but Live is total trash. But don't be fooled into thinking 2k6 is a technically sound game b/c it is not. Being better than Live isn't saying much. There's still a (bleep) load of problems and weak pts with 2k6. Why is it that basketball games are never made as well as football games?

When I played Live, I wondered if they added a new Perspire stat to all the players and set everyone's level to "Ewing". What the hell's up with that?

So there isn't a dynasty mode in any of these games? I'm definately taking Live '06 back. I played it a couple of times but wasn't blown away. The graphics look great but I think that is the only thing I got from the game.

2K6 is better than Live 06 because it offers much more options such as the Association(Franchise), 24/7(Street), Season, tournament, and some features like the Crib in which you get to customize your room(I covered mine with all Lakers Stuff), graphically this game is better but some character models looks like crap (ex:Chris Mihm, Chris Kaman, Sasha Vujacic) the coaches and crowd are recycled from the original Xbox version and on a standard TV 2k6 360 looks exactly like the Xbox version but on HDTV its amazing. The simplest of things though can get frustrating at times like making a layup and dunk but other than that everything about 2k6 is better than live 06.

I would not buy 2k6 unless u really luv basketball games b/c there are a handful of really solid games coming out this month. Well if you got the xtra money to spend go for it but if not wait for GRAW, Oblivion, or FC.

lakers0505 · Franchise Player Joined: 23 Jun 2005 Posts: 10701

ahh ive heard about graw , not sure what kind of game it is though. But oblivion is a big game out this month , not really into those kinds of games though, but i know its going to be a big sell.

I have Live 06, and I don't really have a preference to either since I'm a Madden fan.

how many people here actually played NBA live 2006 for 360?
Any way, no one mentioned that shooting free throws in live 06 is almost impossible and the camera angle is very weird. Sure the graphic is nice, but the gameplay is as bad as it gets. a rushed game.

2K6 Is much better than Liver OVERALL

Live has nothing...no dynasty mode..no nothing other than graphics

2k6 offers a complete package with slightly less spectacular graphics but overall has to be considered a good game.

Let IGN do the talking:

LIVE RATING:5.9

2K6 RATING:7.8

actually soda, ive heard that if this nfl CBA doesnt get extended that they might lose some rights. And 2k, would be able too bring out a game with nfl players and what not. But they would have too call it NFLA 2k, not NFL 2k. Havnt researched the topic really but read that somewhere not sure if it legit though.

some of these reviews sites are misleading, i was checking over nba live 06 / nba 2k6, and they gave nba live 06 a 9, while nba 2k6 a 8. But if u read the customers review everyone loved nba 2k5 and didnt like nba live 06 as too give it a 9. U usually have too read a couple reviews too get a good indication of a game.
