  • NBA Live 06 - The Game That Killed NBA Live
    It's hard to imagine looking back, but there was a time where NBA Live was the golden standard of basketball video games. Then when 2K entered the scene, the landscape was incredibly competitive between Visual Concepts and EA. This all changed when EA released one of it's most disappointing titles (Live 2006) on the xbox 360, and 2K seized the opportunity and never looked back.

      The only good Live game for the Xbox 360 I heard was Nba Live 10, since apparently it was directed by the same guy that did Nba 2k. What happen to him? Went back to 2k since he didn't like EA's ideology (like most people do nowadays).

      Live was still good on PS2, and NBA Live 09 and 10 were pretty good
      Problem is that 2k was improving so fast. As soon as 2k out MJ in the game for 2k11, while EA didn't even release a game, it was officially over. Then, 2k12 added in more legends and updated the Shot Stick with more moves

    In my own personal opinion, NBA Live had been on the decline for quite some time. The last good NBA Live to me was NBA Live 2000. It was the last one that had fluid and intuitive gameplay. The physics were right, and the ease of pickup on the controls were right. I bought 2001, 2002, and 2003 out of pure habit, but i hated those games.
    Then i just said screw it, and tried ESPN Basketball in 2003, and I was a 2K convert ever since. But now 2K sucks too with all the micro transactions, so i dont even play that anymore. 🤷🏾‍♂️

    How the hell you say, you never played NBA Live 06 but give the video that title? Fuckin backwards. After Live 09, they went dead. Live 10 is the killer. NBA Live 09 is seriously top 5 basketball games of all time.

    If we talk about great NBA Lives you have to separate last gen and next gen. Last gen was 06, 07 and on was basically the same game repackaged and next gen 06 thru 09 terrible animations stripped game features and basically they ported 06 from last gen with new textures. I think EA got very greedy and that came back to bite them. 2K6 really wasn’t that good of a game tbh but compared to NBA Live it’s makes it seem like it’s better when you compare animations features realism presentation. EA focuses on little stuff while 2K will make the whole game feel different but leave out little features that could push them to somewhere they couldn’t be touched like with 247 mode in 07 which was the first myplayer storyline in 2K history
