 Something missing January 4, 2007
I have been playing NBA Live since it was first released, and I can honestly say that this year has been a huge disappointment for me.
 The BIGGEST waste of my money!!! January 3, 2007
This game stated the best selling game, but their makers forgot to write the worst game ever. I never thought that EA would release such a poor excuse of a basketball game. NBA2K7 took the best played game title and skiped on home all the way with the crown. I'll never purchase another NBA Live game ever till they make up for that fatal accident that they let escape into the market...!
P.s The only reason I rated this game, was because I had to in order to complete this review!
This game is horrible! December 24, 2006

I had, and quickly got addicted to, NBA Live 2006 for the XBox. When I picked up my 360, I thought, okay, now, which games do I really, really want to see in Hi-Def? So, I picked up the Big Three: Madden, Fight Night 3, and the, unknown to me at the time, one-star wonder that IS NBA Live '07.
I expected to lose, I realize that when a new game version comes out. But, you get used to the changes, adapt, and go on your winning way.
Not with this steaming dog turd.
Like many have said before, the camera angles make it hard to keep track of the action, and the computer just takes over the game. I've played it over and over again, even with teams ranked lower than mine, and the opposing team always makes almost all of their shots, and their players are faster than mine. I swear they run like they're knee deep in wet concrete!
The graphics are great, but who cares if the gameplay stinks. I was hoping they would change the foul shooting mechanics for this version, but no. So, if in some miraculous instance YOU get fouled instead of the other way around, don't plan on nothing-but-nets.
The three-point shooting is abismal, and defense is nonexistent. One of the things I loved in the game was stealing the ball, and cutting into a fast break. Not in this game. For some reason, you can't stay in front of your man, and if you lean in too far, and get dodged, your guy stumbles about three steps, and leaves his man open to charge the net.
And if you do get a fast break going, your guys are so slow, the other team is on your heels or have one or two guys at the net by the time you get there.
I bought the wireless version of 360, and actually thought it was a problem with the signal getting from the controller to the box.
Nope.
A lot of effort went into this, you can tell. It's beautiful to look at, but playing it will make you want to pull your hair out by the roots.
I actually went back to my old XBox and played NBA Live '06. Graphics aren't as good, but it's not graphics I'm paying for. The thing plays great.
 Fun game! December 24, 2006
The only reason this games average isn't 5 stars is because the people who hate this game are generally the only ones to write reviews. This game is perfect! It has everything you'd want. There's nothing bad. Even though loading sometimes takes a while, you can screw around with t-mac in between. the all-star weekend is really cool, especially the slam dunk contest. The dynasty mode is so freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can get all of your favorite players, and it's so realistic. this game is amazing.

Made the mistake of buying this game the other day without reading reviews.
I have NBA Live 06 and I really enjoy playing that game. I assumed Live 07 would be similar with better graphics. It is not. Difficult to control players. Hard to follow whats happening, hard to follow which player you are controlling. Your teammates play no defence. The dunks are weird - they happen VERY quickly, hard to put yourself infront of a player defensively when he's attacking the basket...the game is just off!
I could go on but in summary, DONT BUY THIS GAME.
Update:
Just returned this game. Hopefully 2k7 will live up to its reviews...
