Wow that Gamespot review is just sad. I thought the IGN was bad, but this tops it.


I hope 1up has a good review cause I know Wellie isn't doing the nextgen one. He got stuck with the extra special NBA Live07 for PS2 and PSP. Didn't DM say that the PS2 game was the worst basketball game he has ever played?? I feel bad for Wellie.
 
I'm not completely gaga for 2K7, but I think it screams volumes that NBA Live 2007 360 has:

1. Hardly any gameplay vids compared to the usual EA sports game.
2. No Demo
3. No early reviews
4. Walmart ad showing XBox 1 footage.
5. Commercials that are over 50% camera replays.

Got a question for all the game-site/mag editors. Have you been requested to hold off on reviewing NBA Live 07 until tomorrow or later? None of you guys got an early copy from the store? None?

It's been delayed for the 360.

I wasn't sure if it had or not. EB says it's available tomorrow. What I'm getting at is that my gut says EA is trying to cover up the shit they are about to release which is nothing new for game companies; this is just a higher profile game. And I can't imagine sites not taking them to task for it.

Impressions anywhere?

OK EG, you've had even more time with LIVE. Has your opinion swayed? Is 2K still the game to get?

For one game only, yes. If you are going to have your friends over and play a lot of basketball for fun, Live is better IMO. Live is definitely geared towards having your boys over and playing. Live is more of a fun, arcadey game, as 2K7 is more sim IMO. I don't regret my purchase at all.
 
Thanks for the link.

8.2, said FT shooting is to hard:lol

Interestingly enough, I can't hit a ****ing free throw to save my life in this game. =(

Edit: Keep your eye on this thread. http://forums.operationsports.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=184530. It's the OS bug/glitch thread. So if you come across anything, the answer might lay in there somewhere. There's already reports of bugs and glitches with 2 player Streetball, and some odd graphical things here and there.

Not bringing the game down as work will be HELL tomorrow waiting to pick up my game, but information always helps. Report it, then 2k can patch it up.
 
Seems like Street ball mode might be broken.

Playing against a friend, we can not finish a game. If we try and play a game of 3 on 3 full court, the game will prematurely end before the proper score.

For example, if we set up a game to 11, the game ends around a 5-5 or 6-5 score. We try a game to 21, it will end around the score of 8-8.

Trying to find some consistency with this...

Just tried a 4 on 4... game will stop out of nowhere. Very disappointing, as it was a fresh change from the NBA game.

Looks like Matrix and Fifty's street ball dates are dead :(

ROFL! EA have been getting away with it for years. What makes you think it would stop now?
 
NOOOOOOOOOO!

Daaaamn. Sounds like 07 isn't complete shit after all. And it's, like, out tomorrow, even.


They say that about every Live, every year. I guess if you don't know or care much about basketball, you might like it. I find its kind of like people who enjoy Mortal Kombat over Street Fighter.

If you suck at SF, you're gonna wanna go back and do back-back-LP-uppercut-fatality with your buddies. If you give a shit about gameplay, you're gonna laugh at it, and wonder how every MK (after 2) in existence didn't get shitted on in reviews.
 
I didn't think Live was horrible last year. Just needed a few tweaks and addition of modes to be a good game. I will try them both out.
 
For those who may be considering getting Live over 2K7, just think about the stellar online experience that has been the lagalicious Madden online experience and that should pretty much settle it. EA has yet to patch the fatigue glitch in Madden and their lack of concern for their customers is despicable. 2K's effort with the NHL franchise this year and the fact that all of the games I have played with NHL 2K7 have been lag free and amazing makes considering EA's franchises for me unthinkable.

Madden has nothing to do with Live. Using that logic, no one should buy NBA2k7 because of the baseball game.

I don't play sports games online so none of that lag or disconnects really affect me at all. I am just saying, I bought both games last year and both had positives and negatives. Probably will be the same this year once we break both games down.
 
Well, there's no way I can afford two, so it's 2K7 for me (at 12:30 TODAY!!). I was just hoping I'd be able to convince myself that ESPN integration was all it had to offer. I'll get over it. Probably at about 12:31 PM today.

:D

As far as online goes, NHL 2K7 is a huge improvement over anything I have experienced with 2K in the past. However, Madden, EA's most recent effort, is HORRID. That is where the comparison is relevant. Two companies going in two different directions. It is EA's inability to fix their games BEFORE they are released let alone afterwards that is also relevant. Buying any EA Next-Gen game right now is a risk and that is why I am cautioning people from getting caught in the launch day hype.

And 60fps.

How people can ignore that aspect about Live is beyond me.
 
Honestly,why is everyone expecting Live to be so bad?Live on the 360 last year was an awesome game with a few problems and some animations that needed ironing out.I haven't even watched a video of this years version,but I really doubt it has gotten worse than what they had last year...and Live ran pretty smooth online last year,especially compared to Madden...

I'm contemplating picking up 2K7 today,fuggin 60 dollar games ftl :(

Please don't buy 2k7. You hate it every year man. Just stick with what you like. Maybe you can get that 1000 players online achievement??


I'm only kidding.









You wont be able to get that achievement. :D


Note: I hit all my free throws in the demo. Even shot 2 for 2 with Shaq one game. Just gotta know how your players shoot. It ain't gonna be easy though.

Don't do it...

Ramirez said:
I look forward to getting drived on and dunked on 70 times a game by Lebron...oh snap.

Dont act like Live didnt have this problem...Spin, Spin Dunk is all anyone did.
 
Seriously,why do you all of you go into defense mode whenever I post :lol

I was poking fun with True cuz he was poking fun at me...and yes Tiger,let me stick with my EA games,you know the ones like NCAA and Madden which are unplayable online,yes,let me stick with those,I love them!!

The only negative thing I said about the 2k7 demo was the dribbling controls,and yet you all act like I said it was the worst game ever >.> I liked Live last year,yea,but it didn't get played no more than 2-3 weeks,so why not get the game I can at least play online with a consistent non lag game.
 
DaddyZ said:

Isn't that kind of true with any b-ball game online? Unless you know the person you are playing, there is a good chance that you will get crossovered to death. Until developers make some kind of fatigue hit for multiple cossovers+spins in a row, that will be a problem.


BTW, Best Buy near me already has both games in. Might want to check the bb.com site to see if it is in your area.

No one is in defense mode. You whine and complain everytime you play a non-EA sports game so we're just trying to stop your pain and anguish.

Don't buy it.
 
Damn the manual is THICK. 40 pages, not counting the credits...Take note EA, with your shitty booklets.
 
Quick little write-up on both games. This guy is not an EA homie or 2k homie, so his statement has some weight. I'm going to rent Live this year, but 2k is getting bought today.

I have played both enough to say that Live is a pretty good game. I think that with Live you have to do so much to get it to play right, not that it is bad out of the box. I played 2k7 the last hour and "WOW"!!! it is really nice. The animations are so life like, a must see.

Live, to me is pretty good in it's own right. I really like the way the players have to step when changing direction, it just seems pretty realistic to me. The spacing is incredible.

Not much of a review I know, but both games warrant a purchase in my opinion, but 2K7 is truly a "10". Thought I would never say that. I like the direction that Live is going. I would say it is safe to say it is about a solid "8"in my opinion.

I just think it is great that we have a choice. Enjoy fellow gamers. PEACE!!!

Man I'm not picking mine up till 7 ish and I have my nephew over...


there goes my 2k7 Tuesday :(
 
I'll be going to Best Buy in a few minutes. Anyone wanna get schooled tonight? I kid I kid. Really, though, if anyone wants to play later my gamertag is: Beamber. Hit me up.
 
seeing vids of sig shots are nothing compared to doing them yourself. My top 5 so far:

Arenas, Kobe, Tmac, Ray Allen, AI...shit, damn near everyone. I havent been out of practice mode since 12:30!
