While great at times,the playmaker control for some styles are just too easy and will not be stopped.Styles like INSIDE SCORER and OUTSIDE STOPPER will piss any fan of the franchise off.The inside scorer's hook shot move using L+A works 99.9 % of the time, as to where the outside stopper's steal works only a good 87% is just too..much.But overall Live 06 is a great game,players really look like the real nba players you see on tv. player animations are amazing ,from dunks to various pivot moves.Oh do i love the pivot moves.They are "D" best i have ever seen in any basketball game.When it comes down to it ,2k6 may have the shot stick and duel player.But NBA LIVE 06 has the crispier moves. LIVE'S dunks are better and FREESTYLE SUPERSTAR control is fire!!! this game could had been perfect if it wasn't for the total lack of ability to block outside shots and the inside scorer being so unstoppable.
