The Best Hoops Game Available

User Rating: 9.3 | NBA 2K6 X360

Sure, there are only 2 next-gen hoops games out there - but this one is definitely the best. Everything returns from its' XBOX counterpart. The only major difference is the upgraded graphics. And the upgraded graphics are absolutely gorgeous. It's nearly breathtaking to see the movement of the players jerseys and the incredible detail of the players themselves.

The gameplay is very solid (AND it has a Franchise mode) and is definitely more simulation than arcade. I usually lean towards the EA games when it comes to sports , but basketball has always been the one sport that I've never really had a favorite between 2K and EA. Over the past couple of years, EA hasn't stepped up to the plate like the 2K series has and has solidified its spot as my #1 hoops game.

If you are torn between the 2 and don't know which game to buy - then I would suggest renting them. The biggest turn off of NBA Live for me (other than the gameplay) was the exclusion of dynasty mode. NBA 2K6 delivers solidly in all aspects of the game and this is definitely the right choice for any hoops fan.

    NBA 2K6 introduced a new method of "balling" to me with the shot stick. Until now I had always played NBA LIve so I do not know if it is old news or new, but I can tell you that it makes the game require that much more ... Read Full Review
