I guess even EA isn't trying anymore with Wii. Madden 07 and 08 were great games on Wii with great controls. Then they do this...

WHAT!

When good commentary is the only good thing about NBA Live, you know you have a complete failure on your hand.

I wished developers focused on more arcade-like versions of their sports games for the Wii (NFL Blitz, NBA Streets, NFL Hitz). These games usually allow you more artistic freedom with the graphics and probably better suited for the more casual Wii audience anyways. I mean let's face it guys, the 360 and PS3 has a huge edge in rendering realistic graphics, but when it comes to stylized visuals the gap closes. Also, simulation games that are being co-developed with the other systems are more likely go have bad controls since the games are designed for the 10 button dual analog pads of the 360 and PS3 and trying to map that onto the wii is going to almost always going to have bad results.The more arcade-like sports games usually allow you to use less buttons. I think all Wii games should use at most 4 buttons for gameplay (A, B, C, Z).

Oh my god...

Not BASKETBALL!

I'm not denying that this is a bad score.... it's quite pathetic indeed, but it doesn't affect me at all.

That comment is pretty dumb since Madden 08 and NBA Live 08 were being developed at the same time. It's not like EA is one development studio who decided to put effort into Madden 08, and then changed their mind and made NBA Live 08 in a month but at lower quality. Those two EA-published titles were made by two different Development teams and obviously the Madden team made better design decisions than the NBA Live team.

Are you kidding? Go to the 360 section click on reviews and reverse sort them by score. Kengo: Legend of the 9 got a 3.0, Bomberman: Act Zero got a 2.9, Cyberball 2072 got a 2.0 and Hour of Victory got a 2.0.

Oh and if you want to bring IGN into the conversation, both Vampire Rain and Pimp my Ride got 2.9's.

The famous mantra, "The Wii is capable of so much more" is moot, as the N64 puts this game to shame. Horrible textures, models, animations, and particle "effects

How come you're always making all these "I hate Wii posts" Avidgamer?

Can't you make a post describing how you're philosophy differs with that of Wii, or how you don't see the current implemintation of controls justify's the possible lack of extra boosts in technology... i mean, you're seriously insulting Wii supporters with NBA Live?

2.0Presentation
No mention of the story in the game and a blatant, shameful rehash of a PS2 title that came out two years ago. 1 point awarded for rumble in the menus.1.5Graphics
The famous mantra, "The Wii is capable of so much more" is moot, as the N64 puts this game to shame. Horrible textures, models, animations, and particle "effects".1.5Sound
Pathetic, sparse sound effects accompanied by a grossly out-of-place soundtrack. .5 awarded for the option to turn off the audio.1.0Gameplay
The tacked on Wii controls and poor combat will have you running through the levels, avoiding contact with enemies as much as possible.1.5Lasting Appeal
If by some means you're tied to a chair, eyes pried open Clockwork Orange **** and forced to endure all nine levels, there's a nifty time attack mode as a bonus for such a fine display of masochism.2.0
TerribleOVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

:roll: You really believe the Wii is the reason this game sucks, don't you? You really believe the Wii is less graphically powerful than an N64? Adorable.

TacoJelly

I'm not insulting Wii supporters at all. Read my post. I'm insulting EA. I know full well that motion controls have been great on Wii with certain games. Metroid Prime 3 and RE4: Wii Edition come to mind. I own a Wii. But when a 3.0 rated basketball game comes out and is rated much lower than other versions, that just shows that the devs are being lazy again and not trying on Wii. I have no personal agenda against Wii. If anything, it is the lazy devs who still won't take Wii seriously. And, yes...my topic title sounded like I was attacking sheep. I was doing it as an attention grabber. As far as why there is a lack of a "boost in technology", it is because Nintendo wanted to save money. I don't need to get across that implication at all. It is obvious. And to discount NBA Live and make it sound like a title no Wii owner really cares about still doesn't excuse shoddy development.

Don't forget Anubis II, which recently scored 2.0 at IGN. Don't know what genre it is though!

Avidgamer stop trolling, there is already another thread about this. According to your logic 360 fails cos of bomberman act zero.

I think with this game gamespot is still a bit harsh. In the user revies some people actually enjoyed the controls. There was nothing as bad as 3. Although it probably isn't a good game, it doesn't sound like it should be as bad as a 3.

I have an idea: Let's post the worst scoring games (from people who work for gamespot) and, by that alone, illustrate how every system sucks.
