Bah, so I've heard all the reviews for ps2/xbox/360 on how the nba games are rating. But I also own a PSP and was curious if anyone has nba live 07 yet. so far ive read that nba 07 sucks and live is much better this year. im also guessing vspan and jl3 arent in it either cause they arent in the console versions. can anyone shed some light on this before i get it? thanks fellow gamers/rox fans!
I had Live 06 for the psp last year and this year'ss game is an improvement. There is a full dynasty mode this time and a couple of new mini games. Graphics do look better, but not nothing spectacular. If you had to choose between Live or NBA 07, the easy choice would be live. Now, on to the negatives. There is NO FATIGUE. There is no setting, slider or option for fatigue. I've played 5min quarters and 10min quarters, there was so substitutions in either game. I could have dealt with it because i usually play dynasty mode and sim games as the GM, but the fatigue problem is there also. If it wasn't for the lame Player Rotation menu, no bench players would be playing time. All starters on each team averages 40 minutes per game at the least. Yao had an astonishing 43 MPG. The "no fatigue" factor is a game killer for me. Also, the CPU AI seems a little suspect to me. There are times when the CPU offense knows what to do and knows how to react to the defense. And then there are times when one player will dribble the ball until the shot clock runs out and then shoots a three. Compared to how good Madden 07 was for the PSP, i was a little disappointed with NBA Live 07. It's still the best choice on PSP but that is also due to NBA 07 being an even worst game. If it wasn't for the no fatigue, It would be a great game and worth the pick up. So if you can deal with the no fatigue, you'll like the game. I'm just glad I didn't spend money on this game.
haha me too. thanks for the heads up though. I'll definetly pick this over nba07. and ill go get madden too since you recommended it.
