2K6? Nah.
Graphics:
The graphics get along the point of showing you what next generation gaming really is, just look at the sweat running down them. it's amazing. the graphical ability of the game you can't fault. for people who think it's bad then they obviously know nothing about basketball and have never seen an nba game before in their life. NBA live will take some beating and i don't think that beating will be given by NBA 2k6.
Gameplay
As i said 2k6 won't beat it. nor in graphics/gameplay. the gameplay is electrifying. pure brilliance on your television, On a HDTV - wonderful Normal tele - Just as great. NBA is an enjoyable expreience, and no you can't use a created team/player online.. think of it.. they'd play you in a 'fair' match when your miami heat thinking your cool, they'll come on the court and anihilate you with people like iverson, shaq, carter, wade and all the rest of it. NBA Graphicwise beats alot of games hands-down. the dunks look good, the players look good the court looks good, IT looks good.
Sound:
well there is never really much to say about the sound i find on NBA games but, i might aswell write a little something instead of being pathetic. The sound is good. commentary is brilliant and can give you tips sometimes. there isn't that much more to say about the sound so i will leave it at that.
