Live is known for its terrible ratings.
They gave Dirk a 86, when he was 3rd in MVP voting.
Anyway, 2k6 is by far more realstic and fun than Live, including 24/7 mode, creating your own kicks, and the Association mode is SERIOUSLY DEEP.
You get to be the GM of your team, create his body, his name, his face, and you're under the owner, who can fire you in a years time, so its accually like real life, a real job you need to get your team to the promise land.
Besides, when you play 2k6, it feels like the NBA, when you play Live, it feels like your moving a bunch of lego blocks who can't make fundamental moves nor lay ups.
lmao, who does a 360 dunk in the full court 3 times in a row on Superstar mode? PLEASE.
And the first game I bought for ps2 basketball, was Live 2004, I liked it accually, but when I got 2k5, I was like wow, what an idiot I was for wasting so much money.
Plus, 2k6 ratings are the best by far.
Nate Robison, just edit his rating to 74
Tim Thomas should be an 55
Ariza should be 76
Lee - 72, I think he's lower though
Fyre - 75
Houston - 75
The rest are good
lmao, didn't they give Lebron a 68 in his rookie year? do you guys know what 68 means? Remember Lebron is a 22 6 and 6 player...thats like a bad -C, below average player rating, who gives all stars below average ratings?
Plus, how come Superstars in Live can only average 22-24 points when you sim? and thats at most, you don't see Allen Iverson averaging 30 ppg, its usually the center or a random guy who gets alot of shot attempts.
If you rank the order of shot attempts, you'll see its mostly big men, when it should be a good list of guards there (T'Mac, Kobe, Iverson)
Anyway, if you still want to feel kiddy like, play the game just see Kevin Ollie do a 360 dunk, go ahead buy live.
But if you want to buy a basketball game, go buy 2k6
