Live 07

My Verdict...

Played 1 game this morning, on Superstar Level (or whatever the highest is), played 8 min quarters with the Mavs V Cavs.

I've changed the settings so that the CPU settings are all 50, and the Player's are all 60. Gotta make it interesting yeah?

WELL...
Taking charges are f-cking hard as, your player just gets "pushed" outta the way.... POOR!

Trying to drive past a player defending at the top of the 3, is f-ckin near impossible! POOR!

Trying to rebound is shit, you think you'r about to jump straight up, and you leave the key, and end up around the 3 point line....POOR!

Blocking shots has improved, it's now easier, and more realistic.

Being dunked on every trip down the floor on D sucks tho. How does Larry Hughes come down, stop, and pop a jam over Dirk? POOR!

There's still the need to have someone drive the lane, get bumped and lay their shot up from behind the backboard, causing it to go out of bounds... POOR!

And what's with stealing? I guess it's all about timing, but I seem to get beat off the dribble everytime I try one.

Passing sucks, this tap, or firmly press bizzo is not an easy task.

Alley-oops suck, the player receiving the pass just jumps, doesnt run towards the rim at all. POOR!

I decided at 3 1/4 time to quit the game, since I was down by 40....

Started a new game on the next level down (All-Star) and actually made it a game. Although 8 mins still seems too long, cos I had about 30 points by end of 1st quarter.

Can anyone provide some decent settings changes and skill levels, and quarter durations that can make this game any better, and or more realistic??????

Not overly impressed with it so far.

About to get the rosters, and load up 2K7.

do you actually know how to use the controls though? like for an allyoop you make them do a basket cut etc then pass the ball....charging...you have to press a button to make your player plant his feet...so yeah...the stealing is hard though....just wondering if you use the controls like they are spoce to be used? or just playing it without that stuff

Well with Live 06, if a player was cuttnig and you lobbed it, they'd get closer, and catch the lob, now they jump straight up. But maybe they're not cutting enuff?

As I said with the Charging, you plant you just get pushed asside...

"spoce"??? Playing without what stuff?

so u got my package scotty?

i liked nba live 07,beats 06 but still.. coulda been better... a dissapointment in my book, but playable.. i love nba 2k7.. the more i play it the more i love it

 

[WoobieZarz]

Oh yeah sorry mate, forgot to thank ya, was over-excited with them! lol.

I'm giving Live a 2nd chance, just updating the Rosters, and will try and have a go.

Worse thing about these games, is the teams at the moment (on nba.com) have like 16-17 players, and they're only allowed 15 on the Games. So we gotta wait till the season starts, and they waive their no bodies, till we can play a REAL season with Live/2K.

aw na na i just didnt know how you played the game thats all. with everyones comments on this i don't know if i will buy it now lol...but i think i might considering i buy it every year.....i thought live 2005 was the crap one to me........looks like 2007 might be as well with everyone saying how bad it is

It's a good game, better than the previous ones.

Same with 2K7, but which is better? Not sure... Live looks more realistic, but I guess for 360 they'd both be different again.

There's glitches in both games, just shit bits they havent fixed yet, like taking charges, and getting bumped when driving the lane, and ending up doing a reverse layup into the back of the backboard.....

Just small things.

Now this sucks...

Just started a new Dynasty to up the Simulated Mins.

First game opener against the Spurs, was up by 3 with 28 seconds to go, Duncan gets fouled and goes to the line.....

Dirk decides he doesnt want to line up and stands in the middle of the f-cking key.... game glitched up, couldnt do anything.

Actually I could, I could run around, pump up the crowd, pause, etc, etc, etc, but still couldnt get Dirk to line up and run the game out...

Was on a high too, Harris had 18, 12 dimes, and 8 rebounds! Dirk had 28 & 8.

Faaaaaaaark......

I wish I could play it on HDD and not off Disk. Bloody EA suck!

 

[white_chocolate_55]
