I actually thought Live 2006 was great, even though I had been an NBA 2k fan since it came out for the Dreamcast. But this is a new season and things have changed. I went to EB yesterday and with so many conflicting opinions out there decided to pick both games up, I popped 2k7 in and I have to admit I was floored by the smoothness of the animation, the spot on player movement, the graphics are absolutely outstanding, I was having so much fun playing I didn't want to shut down to pop live in, but I did - here is my review.
From the start I could immediately see the difference in the framerate and animation in the practice arena with T-Mac it just couldn't compare with the speed and movement of the players on 2k7 (the layup and dunk animations are a bit awkward looking). Then I started a full game (with the same teams I had played with on 2k7 Lakers vs Suns), I couldn't find a camera angle that suited me as well as the one on 2k7, the pace of the game was much slower and the player models while all in all great looking, did not animate nearly as well or accurately as 2k7, I'm a Laker's fan and Kobe's jumpshot animation on Live looked hideous compared with 2k7. Suffice to say I didn't even play through a full game, I shut it off started a franchise on 2k7 and played another game. Honestly I'm not a Live hater and if you just buy Live and have nothing to compare it with it's a passable game, but when compared to 2k7 it's no contest! Hope this was helpful for anybody on the fence as to which NBA purchase to make.
