This is the worst Live Game that has come out. Make sure you rent it first because if you buy it you will regret it.

When you play a game, the players walk like they are in slow motion. The Acceleration button does almost nothing. Of course there is a slider that is used to fix this but then players can become too fast if you go too high. Plus you have to fix that slider every time you play or you can just go and load it if you want to save the settings but that is just a wate of time. When I go play a game I want to be able to play with the proper speed right away. The player's stamina suck really bad. They will lose stamina quickly and they will gain it back slowly once they are on the bench. I really dont understand this because how are we suppose to play using our good players if they lose all their energy within the first quarter. Oh and if you thought you can just use the sliders to fix that. WRONG. There are no sliders for stamina. Also, this game uses three different buttons for shooting. One is layups, one for jumpshot and one for dunk. Why do I need 3 shooting buttons? Why can't the player just shoot the ball according to his posistion?

Most of the time when you try to jump into a player for the shot, instead of the body moving so it can try to get a foul called or a lay-up, you get a charge. Your player just puts the ball over his head and just callapses on the opponent. Futhermore if you have the ball and your oppoenet attempts a double team, there is almost no way to get out of it. You will get the ball taken away from you. The style they have you shoot your free throws are completely bogus. You have to move your stick down then up when the ball is over the head of your free throw shooter. And if you do it too fast or too slow you will miss.

The Camera views are limited to 2 views including the zooming. I want to be able to do what ever I want. I want to be able to move the camera all around the court until Its in a spot I like. Wouldnt you like that? The All-Star Weekend is a complete bust. The dunks are so hard to perform and I didnt even attempt to do the other things. Everything seems small and disorganized and there is very little to do.

Overall this is a TERRIBLE game. Do not buy it. Believe it, its bad. If you want to get a good game get NBA 2K7 or get NBA 2K6. There both better than NBA LIVE 07. I can't even return this game because I lost the receipt. Do not make the same mistake as me. Save the money and get something else. This is honestly one of the worst games I have ever played.

    A pretty good game, not as good as 2k though.

    NBA Live 07 is a fairly decent game. I first started out with the 2k series, from NBA 2k6 to 2k7, but I decided to try Live 07. It's got it's ups and downs, and I'll start with the ups: The voicing is great, that's on... Read Full Review
