|
|
Which one are you guys gonna get? I'm going with Live 07, because NBA 07 sucks, even though Kobes one the cover. I was thinking of 2K7, but since I've been using Live and 2K7 raised their prices, I'll just stick with Live.
P.S. Can anybody make one of those custom covers for Live 07, with Kobe on the front? |

| Oh, and I won't be getting NBA 06 due to the fact that I don't have a PSP or PS2 and I hear the PS3 is gonna be way expensive |

Guys, I just watched a video of 2K7, and I'm a staunch EA fanboy. I'm hear to tell you, "Don't pass on 2K7." Every little detail, down to something as simple as Josh Howard doing these quirky ass dribble moves and 2-3 spin moves into a layup is down pat. Just really uncanny.
IGN.com insiders account is all you need, 20 bucks, and you watch the Masterbit Theatre, an HD vid of a full quarter of gaming between Suns-Heat.
Truely amazing.

2k huh? we'll have to see about that.
everyone knows the war between live and 2k has to do with arcade vs sim.
we know Live is more on the arcade side then sim. and we know 2k is pretty much a sim. But whats usually the problem with sims? They move stiff like. Same for 2k hoop games. the player movement is stiff.
So okay, you're not ice skating like old live. but now you're doing the robot cross over. I would rather ice skate.
if 2K ever moved fluidly like nba live. there wouldn't be anymore NBA LIVE. until 2K creators figure this out. then the war will continue.
Now to side with EA on some things. what they said they will have in the game sounds pretty darn realistic to me. guys that are not superstars becoming them during clutch moments after you feed them the rock enough times during the game.... Uh.... thats realistic. See robert horry.
Superstars now having a multiple of superstar moves they can pull off at once? uh... i know it took an extra year, but thats realistic. Kobe can dunk on you, hit a 3, and throw a sweet behind the back pass. the Dynasty mode is supposed to be a lot betteer. which is where live has been losing forever. I still to this day dont understand how you can work under the same umbrella called EA. and not borrow Madden's basic dynasty/owner mode makeup and port it to nBA LIVE. just doesn't make sense to me.
Hopefully they will have demos of both on the 360. So i can make a pre-assessment. |

the video isn't going to prove anything but that it looks great. I already know that. I need to control the game myself. and then when can say if its robotic movement or not. |

Is it available for download on Xbox Live?
Typically I don't play any sports video games at all. I might buy one every 4-5 years. I may rent both of them just to check them out, though.

Yes. Go download it. Do it. NOW!!! It's amazing. I love the game.
The jumpers are AMAZING. They even have Devean George's jumper. I mean, comeon, DEVEAN...GEORGE!!!
No dunking. I may have had 3-4 dunks within 20 games, though I'm a former Live fanboy, so I spent most of the time trying to relearn the controls.
Defense is AMAZING. You can hold left or right on the right analog and you'll "shade" the opposition making for a more difficult pass. Quickly press down on the right analog and you'll beat the offensive player to the spot.
Dribbling. Oh man. I LOVE the way you perform dribble moves. Holding the Right Trigger is your "aggression" button, then you can move with the left analog and it will perform the dribble move that you want. VERY nice.
On the dribbling, if you try to do too many dribble moves, you'll find that when you go to make your move, the ball will "pop out" and you'll have to quickly retrieve it.
Something I don't think many will notice, after players make a shot or something, they'll ACT just as they do. I had D-Wade, who I hate, and shot his jumper And-1. When the ball went through, he started bouncing slightly and nodding his head.
Josh Howard does all of his crazy "postup, to spin move, to post up, to attempted dunk turned funny looking layup" moves that he always does.
Truely amazing. The movements are no longer "sluggish". One of my all-time complaints with 2K was that the characters always seemed to move sluggish. No more. They move PERFECT.

for good measure i saw the videos/interviews, about how they have everyones shot in the game. including bench guys. thats a sweet idea.
and i've also seen the comparisons between the real kobe turn around and the video game kobe. pretty close to spot on if you ask me. but like i said, it has to play right though. otherwise it will just be a nice game to watch the cpu play itself.
Any, I'll come back with my report tonight or tomorrow. i downloaded the demo this morning before i headed off to work. I turned it on just to move it around a bit. and i will admit its a lot less robotic then in the past. of course sinse i'm a live guy the controls are all off. You know what else i hate? when you're used to playing madden/ncaa football how they changed the control for switching players to (B) on the 360 or square i think on the ps2. So now when you play basketball(live or 2k) it throws you off. because the switch player thing is the red button on 360, and the same corresponding X button on the ps2. i mean it really bothers me. thats why i wish they would've kept the controls for all the sports basic stuff the same.
quiet as kept the reason us older heads can still play these games is because us older guys are creating the games and the controllers. and realize, not to mess with the controls much. because thats what gets you off the games. when you realize you're running out of fingers to press buttons and it gets to confusing. you just give up and say good bye to gaming. so, if the controllers stay similar for the next 30 years. I will be an old grey haired dude playing Live 2038 with my grandkids. and probably beating them. trying to play with kobe in a legends game....  Imagine that.

I'm a huge Live fan. Never liked 2K's games. But this one is amazing, man. I absolutely love it. The robotic feel is gone. They have DG's jumpshot. I mean, COME ON!!!
Also, if you ask me, the players even "run" differently. I watched DG run up the court, as opposed to say Devin Harris, and it really looked like a different animation.
This is what NBA basketball games should feel like.

| This demo is sick man. It makes me want my pre order from the 25th for the game more. I cant wait to play as all the teams and obviously the Lakers. Mavs are pretty sweet to play as also. Dirk's post up fade works well. I love that you cant cheese anymore and dunk all the time. |

Quick question for those who have downloaded the demo.
Is the signature shot style only for 360 and PS3? Or will that feature also be available on the PS2 and XBOX?

Well theres over 300 sig moves for the 360, but I remember hearing that there might be some for the xbox and ps2 versions. Other then that though there hasnt been any info on the xbox and ps2 versions. You might have to wait till sites review those versions to see if its good or not and what stuff it has. |

From what I hear it might be an old build since the crowd is more lively on some of the newer IGN videos among other things.
What I notice that I dont like that might be different for the release, because can easily be fixed with the sliders. Well is that when some one beats me to get to the rim and is contested at the rim its usually a foul calll. Well this is Miami im playing so I guess they might have wanted it even more realistic and give them calls every play |
