After reading this thread:

I figured it could use a poll. That way we can see how many people pick which game.

[ALVAREZ6]

No idea. Never played a 2k6 game.



Why don't they merge their fucking features, that would be awesome. I like some aspects of each game, but I've always been an NBA Live buyer. This year might be the 1st year I buy an ESPN game.

no offence that would be like mc donalds selling burger kings whopper burger, just dont seem right.

I prefer Live, more realistic.

^ yeah

Live is more realistic?!?!?!? :wtf :lol

[midgetonadonkey]

I've played Live every year since 94 and will continue to play Live until NBA Live 2035.

2k5 is for slow players with no micro. Live is better than 2k5 in every aspect of the game.

:smokin You be smokin somthin!

Live is WAY to choppy! Plus, I dont like the fact that guys like Bowen can do 360's and stuff in Live. 2K5 is much better IMO.

[Horry For 3!]

NBA Live :tu

No actually he can't do that in Live.

ESPN's bball game is by far way better than Live....much much more better

[Medvedenko]

I was a huge fan of Lakers vs Celtics, bulls etc....then came the Live series which owned b-ball throughout the 90's. However since I played a 2k game it overpowered the Live series IMO....it had better graphics, better stat tracking, better overal game play and more fluid transitions. Once they included the franchise mode and more refined game play elements, I was hooked. I play both games each year and the 2k series is heads above Live...sorry.

[batman2883]

i cant believe i agree with a lakers fan its the end of the world

[Mixability]

If you're complaining that its too easy to go 98-0 in Live, then try playing on something other than the "Rookie" difficulty.

[thispego]

Live fuckin blows, i rented it and took it back 4 days before it was due. Shittiest excuse for a modern basketball game i have ever seen

[batman2883]

shittiest....very shitty id rather play ball with a slow kid in an all girls school

the graphics suck, the gameplay sucks, carmelo is on the cover, freestyle control sucks, need i go on?

[Mixability]

oh no, not Carmelo and now Dwaye Wade! You've convince me! Live sucks! :rolleyes Oh, yeah, games aren't always about graphics.

actually no they aren't, maybe to you games are all about graphics. and I'm not pissed cause you disagree with me, its just that you don't back up why the graphics suck or why the gameplay sucks.

Danyo get off your high horse, Live just sucks the overall gameplay is horrible

[Ballcox]

2K by far the better franchise for basketball. Graphics are better, gameplay more realistic, tempo of the games actually feels like a real NBA game. When I'm playing that sucker on my 60 inch tv with the Spurs in franchise mode, DAMN!! :smokin

You're one to talk, Mr. Awesome :rolleyes

moving on... Live looks like it'll look and play better this year, especially on the 360.

What kind of setup do you have? I currently only have a 42" flat :depressed
But I'm shopping for a bigger and better one, just in time for my 360 come November. Any suggestions?

[Mixability]

which game makes the spurs better?

have the ratings been released yet? i hope not!

[ALVAREZ6]

I just hate how the media lets the miami fucking ass heat have a monopoly on the fucking front covers. If the Spurs repeat, Tim and Manu better be on the covers, or if neither one are on, then they are the biggest fucking whores ever.

TP is on the french version of NBA Live.

Once again, bad idea. Since Whaq and Wade are on the covers this year, that guarantees the title to the Spurs again. No curse for SA!

FYI, there a bunch of custom covers on Ebay and such, just request one with the entire Spurs roster on it! :smokin

EA games have horrible ratings IMO. Tim Duncan was only an 89 on live! :wtf

but why?!?!?!?! why does it look like it'll play better??? why especially on 360??!?!?! why?? I just dont get it!! you have to back up those claims!!!!

Yeah but that Tony Parker cover is actually the real french version cover.




I wouldn't bother buying an Ebay one, I just want to get some fucking respect and the media has to realize that we are a dynasty.

[Supreme Allah]

NBA Live: Give it to your fastest player and let him take it coast to coast and dunk it

NBA 2K: Take the ball, make a few passes, drive, kick out, pass, shoot.

2K=WAY more realistic

[Mixability]

but why?!?!?!?! why does it look like it'll play better??? why especially on 360??!?!?! why?? I just dont get it!! you have to back up those claims!!!!

here you go tard... The passing game is supposedly improved and the 360 will hopefully have more power, which means it'll look better. See? Thats how you back up an opinion... :rolleyes

Yeah, I know, wasn't Gasol on another version. The ebay covers are a little shady, since they are fake. Wasn't TD on Live 97? I guess that was when he was the "new thing". Leave the covers to the posers.... Save the Hardware for our team!

[Chris]

I think the votes speak for themselves! Live FTW.

[Horry For 3!]

When I had a playstation I had NBA Live, so I will support them. :tu

[Dre_7]

Bump...since now we know the ratings for both games.
