OT: Will EA Sports realize that Live is absolute garbage?

Honestly, I cannot stand to play more than 5 minutes of this game at a time. It's filled with frustrating bugs(such as computers don't make substitutions based on their f*cking stamina), the non-existent stealing ability(you must have to press 'x' 10,000 times before it attempts a pass interception...), the horrible computers that has Eric Snow shoot 34 FG attempts while Lebron shoots 8, and the horrid gameplay.

I don't want a f*cking 'superstar' mode where you can do awesome unrealistic dunks, I wanted to play a goddamn basketball game.

I got it for free and I think I'm going to throw it in the trash anyway.

Anyway, despite that mindless rant, does EA actually realize everyone thinks this product sucks? Any news that they will fire the whole Live department and bring in people that know what they are doing?

They just need to start from scratch...

I'm sure they know it sucks, but they market the hell out of it. They don't need to put the effort to improve the game if people keep buying it.

Buy 2k next time it is way better.

Aye, why should they improve it when peeps keep buying it every year?

The 2k games beat EA's by miles.
In 2k games, the flow of the game seems more realistic, people are getting realistic averages (not TJ Ford and other PG's putting up 35 a night, like in a season of Live i played), better shooting system, and overall, just a better game.

Did I mention that it realeses $20 cheaper than Live?

2KSports franchise sh!ts all over EA's Live. That goes for pretty much every sport they've released. Live is just hogwashed garbage, over and over every single year. They sell units because of the "Live" name. 2K exceeds expectations with every new release. And they actually listen to fan suggestions.

Considering NBA Live gets exponentially worse every single year, the answer is "No, EA Sports will not realize that Live is absolute garbage, and will continue to churn out an even buggier and unrealistic piece of flaming sh&t next year."

I predict that in Live 08, we'll get an UltrasuperstarMode so that now, Lebron James and company can do halfcourt flying tomahawk reverse windmill dunks through traffic

is it worth buying 2k7 for ps2? and how much does it cost right now?

Definately worth it, the best Bball game ever, IMO.
For PS2, it's $20.

I agree, Live 06 actually attempted at allowing you to play defense, that's why I was so disappointed with this years 'edition'.

Yeah same here. Well, you're pretty lucky, you got it free. I paid $50 for a piece of crap game..

Definetly not going to buy Live 08, unless EA decides to completely remake it.

But seriously now, what's up with EA. I bought NFS Most Wanted and beat it in 4 days...

It's a marketing scheme

I've never played the 2k seried, only Live. Your right though, it is pretty dumb.

on youtube, there was a video showcasing the development of Live 07 with some interviews with the chief programmers. Compared to 2k7, the entire mindset was blatantly different. All the Live developers were talking about were "being able to pull off even sicker dunks and passes, even more fancy moves, enhanced superstar modes, etc"

It was such bullsh&t and truly showed the state of mind that the entire Live series is approached from. It's pathetic

06 is trash, every time i play on allstar mode and face tony paker (or any other pg) he ends up with 40, shooting 3s and getting my bigs in foul trouble. I get him on my team and he misses 2 open fast break layups in a row and when i try to get inside he gets blocked by a bum like frye or curry.

No way to play defense and if you want to win all you need is a dunker or a power big man.

I dunked with Nash on NBA Live. Is anybody ever going to believe me??

I've never had Nash dunk for me. What year was it?

J-Will could throw down a vicious one hander in 2003

ps2

and the best basketball game has to be 2k3 or 2k2

[QUOTE=thenextgreatbigman]ps2[/QUOTE]
Ohh ok.. I got it for 360, might be a bit different....

[QUOTE=thenextgreatbigman]and the best basketball game has to be 2k3 or 2k2[/QUOTE]
You got to be kidding, that has to be the worst game I've ever played.

You can enjoy it if you enjoy missing 90% of your open dunks by 7 footers. Or your fast breaks consist of fadeaway hookshots when a open layup is available.

Probably the only game worse than Live 07 is 2K3. They made so many improvements in 2K4.

Maybe they could just re-package NBA Jam?

2k has been better than Live since, um the very first 2k in 99. Quite frankly I'm still stunned at the ammount of people "wondering which game to get" every year. I mean it's not like it's one dude's opinion, every year, with the exception of 2003 (the year 2k3 got a bit too complicated and Live first introduced the cool gimmick "freestyle) 2k has beaten Live in the ratings/reviews BY A HUGE MARGIN. Every publication, every year.

Really, by 2007, you're still wondering if 2k is better, or if you're still playing Live and are only NOW starting to complain, then in Will Smith's words, that's "YO FAULT".

The worse thing is that it is almost impossible to find a copy of NBA 2K7 in Hong Kong, I went to the store two weeks after it came out in USA and that guy says it has sold out, all 10 copies, I was like, "Bullsh** why can't the 2K company market their things better?!":banghead: Then I went to England and rented 2k7 (I didn't go there just for the game of course) and it completely blew me away. Pros about 2K7:

Emulates shooters style, its soo good, got a bit harder to shoot with different players though.

Free throws were excellent, I will never understand the concept of Live's free throw shooting.

No Superstar mode. Makes the game more realistic.

PGs don't score 70 points in a game, somehow dish 15 assists and Kobe Bryant gets 7 points.

24/7 is a great mode to play, but it can't compare to:


Dynasty Mode of Live. That's probably the best feature of NBA Live along with All-Star weekend. the 2K series definitely needs to get their hands on Dynasty, and All-star weekend, it will improve their already great game.
..............

Of course, now I only have my NBA Live 06 but it's better than nothing.

I rented a copy of 2k7 for Xbox 360, and I think 24/7 was in the Games Mode section (or something similar to that).
