I haven't played this year's version, but the NBA 2K series has always been head and shoulders above the competition.

Wait for the reviews. They should be rolling out early next week when the game is released.

nba 2k7 because it has the more awesome soundtrack. dan the automator (handsome boy modeling school, head automatica) produced the tracks and it features a remix of a tribe called quests 'lyrics to go' plus songs from mos def and hieroglyphics.

Are you more interested in an arcade game experience or something closer to a basketball sim type game? I remember the EA Games being too arcady and preferring the sega style.

i'm kinda getting frusterated with the live arcade style...a lot of times, there is no strategy...just pick a superstar and start draining contested jumpers from everywhere.

I always played Live, since the Sega Genesis days, in fact, but gave 2k3 and 2k6 a shot along the way. Didn't like either, and I like real bball! I'd tweaked the sliders in Live 05 to get a pretty good simulation but still, I found it lacking. I simply don't like the mechanics of the 2k series, though. I'm not sure which "2007" version to get, though I'm considering this question for the 360.

When I played the sega games, height and strength had too much importance. I could use ben wallace as a power forward and he would dominate on defense AND offense. I believe I had rasheed and ben wallace and shaq on that team. Unstopable. Ben had a good jump shot. Heh. I assume they've fixed that but perhaps not.

yeah, in live too, ben wallace puts up 15 to 20 points every game.

yeah, my friend had 2k3 and i do remember it playing very differently from the dreamcast versions. And I kept getting called for charges...prolly cause in live if you drible into the defender, it doesnt do anything.

NBA 2K7.

I wish those losers at EA didn't have an exclusive NFL license, I miss NFL 2K games :(.

From what I hear (avsforum), it looks like NBA 2k7 is still better than Live 07. I haven't heard much about NBA 07.

nba 2k7 got a 7.8 from gamespot.

They said the visuals were pretty bad and the game is mostly unchanged from last year.
