This game is awesome. I purchased it for the 360 today along with Madden from my local Game Rush Block Buster, then went to another game store with an Xbox kiosk and asked the manager to let me test it out. He was very kind to let me do this. The next thing I know there is a crowd of people around me just amazed at what they were seeing. One lady asked me "are you really controlling those plalyers"? I've never seen a prettier game (besides Madden which I played next). If this game gets a bad rating don't trust the rating. The game is slowed down a little but it's for the better. The dunks and animations are awesome. You will swear you are watching a real NBA game. The freestyle controls are very tight and feel so natural in the game. The "R" button thorws olley- oops. The "R" trigger is for Turbo. The player models are so detailed that you will even notice facial scruff and don't get me started on the player models hair. Yes EA left out the dunk contest, three point contest and other gameplay modes but for a first game on a new system they have really stepped up their game. The sound is also great as the crowd will have you thinking you are really in the arena. The attention to detail in each arena is just plain sick. I cannot wait to get my own 360 on Monday. I'm rating this game by what is actually in the game rather than the modes that are missing like most company knuckle heads are doing. This game will have you hooked for quite somtime to come. I love women but this game is just pure sexy.

NBA Live 06 for the Xbox 360 is by far one the worst basketball games ever created. I could almost live without the missing features, but the gameplay hasn't changed much. The absolute worst part about this game is the... Read Full Review
