it may be a bit unrelated since i'm playing this game for the 360. NBA Live 07 is seriously busted, the new game mechanics suck compared to Live 06. Support 2K sports, screw EA

perfect example of lack of polish and game testing because EA doesn't care about anything except annual rehash of the same game for more cash: I'm watching a COM v COM game of EAST v WEST in ALL STAR WEEKEND Mode. Marv Albert announces this at one point during the simulation during a WEST offense play: "Number 24 sends it up" WTF!!! (FYI No. 24 is Kobe Bryant)

yeah, and from what i saw, its still the superstars that dominate the games. there is no need for offensive sets or plays...just hand the ball to kobe or wade and let them fill it up.

and going for mid range jumpers is almost nil. the game seems to revolve around 3s and dunks.

If you put any faith into IGN reviews..... NBA Live 07: 4.9, NBA 2K7: 8.7. Big drop for Live, they gave Live06 a 9.
