Could have been better 3 out of 5
Got this game for $4 at Game Stop's XBox 360 bargain. It wasnt until after I played it, that I read some of the bad reviews and I kind've agree. There are some glitches and the game can be frustrating at times. The graphics are though...very good and the game can be pretty fun when its no frustrating.
One of my favorite parts of the game is being able to practice shooting and dunking while the game is loading the arena.
Only get this game if its super cheap where you spot it
Great Game and Great Graphics 4 out of 5
This game has great graphics and a great dynasty mode. The only thing wrong with this game is that the rebounding is hard and using the SHOOTER X-Factor is hard to shoot with.
I rate this
4/5
7/10
Great Graphics 5 out of 5
The game has unbelievable graphics, you feel like you are there. I love this game and don't ever get tired of it. There are many different settings you can play on the game. The game can be challenging depending how good you are and how hard you want it to be. So much fun!
The game is a lot of fun, graphics are good, but the overall gameplay is rather poor. 2 out of 5
The graphics really look nice and I also like the in depth "create a player." The game is a lot of fun and you can do a lot. From the Dynasty standpoint, the game is really realistic and the ESPN integration is really cool. The downfall is during the game, you can blow by anyone and dunk on anyone which is not realistic at all. It's quite fun to play, but not realistic. So, if you are looking for the overall most realistic basketball game out there, I would look elsewhere. If you are looking to just have fun and really enjoy a nice basketball game, then I HIGHLY recommend buying it.
Mostly good 4 out of 5
I can see how other people may not be into this game, but I really like it. The graphics and presentation are awesome. Some gripe about the framerate, but it's normal in my opinion and you don't really notice it when in the heat of a good game. The ESPN integration is the coolest feature I've seen for anything related to X-Box Live. Live 07 has loads of modes and features, so replay value isn't a problem. And for once, we have insightful commentators! Even non-household names get analyzed, and nothing is outdated ("Shareef played for bad teams early in his career, but finally made the playoffs last year with Sacramento..."). It avoids being repetitive, which is pretty amazing over an 82-game season!
A couple things could be fixed for next year, namely the controls. The new Freestyle control option is really cool, though a bit complicated, and personally I think basketball games should stick with one shoot button (probably at the Y-spot on the X-Box 360 controller). And this game is hard. Most opponents seem like a combination of the real-life Pistons, Spurs, and Mavs. If you fall behind early, good luck pulling off a W. But I like that it's realistic in that teams rarely make comebacks by hoisting trey after trey. The best way to win is good execution.
If you're a true NBA fan, Live 07 is great. If you're not, I can see where some nitpicking could come in. I got this one as a present and I love it. It's a ton of fun, which is why most of us play these things in the first place!
