I got a copy of trail version of Live 06. Here are some screenshots, but I don't know if the All-Star jersey are final or not.
nba live does not compare to the nba 2k series. Again, the over-hyping multi-million dollar EA marketing machine is at work again... If you want inferior gameplay, piss-poor graphics, presentation, realism all for $49.99, then please go ahead by all means. But hey Live has a slam dunk contest.
DAMN! It's back up to $40?! Crap. Not sure if I'm going to get it then. NBA games are generally the only games I buy ever year or everyother year. NFL games, MLB etc....I stick to old ones and update the rosters. I did that with NBA games for a while too till I noticed the difference in play. (there are always certain things bugging me in games) NBA2k5 has a number of bugs that bugged me. So....I would love a replacement...but for that price....ehhhh I wonder how live is going to be this year. I'm going to rent them both.
I prepaid for my copy of 2K6 like a month ago. I'm picking it up in a few hours... I'll report back here with my impressions tonight if I find time to play it.
Was that Michael Finley in a Dallas Uni? That sucks! How often does EA update their rosters before putting it out on the market?
I got an automated call from GameStop yesterday saying that I could pick it up this afternoon. I would assume EB would get it the same day, especially considering Gamestop owns them...
I got 2K5 for $20 and I can't see me spending $40...Honestly, I thought the $20 price for all ESPN game last year was ridiculous as once you pay for something that low, its hard to get people to pay more... Btw, All Sega Sports Games rock, period...
I picked it up from the Gamestop on Gessner and Bellaire (right next to Fiesta liquor) 30 minutes ago. The Gamestop in the Galleria has a shipment coming in today as well. The Best Buy in the Galleria is supposed to receive a shipment today.
Does anybody know if this game has that stupid 'talk to the coach' thing with the different personality types. I thought that was so dumb, but I'm also more of a pick up and play type of guy as I can't stand dealing with the salary cap and signing players and coaches.
The BestBuy website doesn't even show NBA2K6 for PS2 coming out. It doesn't list it and I haven't seen it on any other site. Can someone post a link to where it is out?
Realism, shmealism. I'll also take NBA Live over the 2K series. In my experience it's a more enjoyable game to play with friends.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think they took that stuff out. Maybe darkwarrior or someone else (like those who get the game) can confirm that. I think they did do more with the salary cap stuff though. I think it is a bit like the Owner's mode in Madden, IIRC.
You know what...screw NBA Live 06 and NBA 2K6. NBA '06 for the PSP is the real basketball game to get...it has DODGEBALL! http://worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=28603&mode=thread&order=0
I haven't played it yet. Bastards actually made me come to work today. I will check it out tonight and give an update tommorow. I'll be playing with the Rockets of course. I hope they don't have Yao with bs ratings again (last yr he had a low rating for dunking, along with Swift).
I called the Galleria location and the Sharpstown location. The galleria site told me they were getting a shipment today (this was around lunchtime). The Sharpstown location told me they had the games in, but when I went down there t get one they only had NBA Live (obviously the person on the phone got the two confused). Lucky for me the Gamestop was down the street. Gamestop in the Galleria was expecting a shipment as well.
Let's just hope EA doesn't accidentally have a NBA size bug like they did in Madden while they fix the rosters...although that would be just as hilarious. http://news.com.com/Madden+bug+makes+NFL+player+tiny/2100-1043_3-5883301.html?tag=nefd.top http://x1.putfile.com/9/25916503567.jpg http://x1.putfile.com/9/25916510895.jpg http://x1.putfile.com/9/25916513382.jpg
