NBA Live 2006

"NBA Live 06 isn't a terrible game, and it really depends on what you want out of a basketball game as to whether or not you're going to enjoy it. Hardcore simulation fans really need not apply due to the broken rebounding model. But if you want a lot of high-flying sizzle in your hoops game and you don't care about the other minutiae, then by all means pick it up. Just don't expect a lot of authenticity."

"This is my favorite two-player sports game of the year so far. The Superstar moves really change the way you play the game, and for the better, as for the first time in years you can really tell the difference between players like Shaq and Eric Dampier. I also really enjoyed the deep Dynasty mode and Player Evolution."
