It’s definitely recommended if you didn’t pick up the game for current-generation consoles.

Even though this game shows sparks of brilliance I don’t necessarily recommend the purchase of it due to the short list of features and slow pacing. However it’s those sparks of brilliance that can very well turn this NBA Live franchise into a juggernaut of a NBA sim in a year or two down the road.

Beyond the visuals, the new Live is a completely fresh experience, rebuilt from scratch for Xbox 360. [Holiday 2005, p.94]

Feels more like an elaborate tech demo for HD televisions than it does a complete gameplay experience. Lacking all the gameplay modes and tweaks that one would expect from a yearly release, this version of the game is incomplete.

NBA Live 06 has a lot in common with your favourite supermodel, or at least the perceived stereotype - it looks absolutely stunning, but is lacking in depth.

Sadly, the game offers much less than the Xbox version, and gamers are expected to pay more but get less.

Don’t expect any sort of deep managerial options, because all you get is the bare bones trade/sign/release functionality. No team practice, no hiring and firing of coaches, and no scouting at all. It’s like playing through the ‘98-99 lockout season, and it’s simply not deep enough for a next-gen game.

JeffA What drugs are you on? This game's trash on the 360. ''Why spend money on an Xbox 360 to play last generation graphics'' Because they're more fun than this crap. ''There is no way any user should rate this game under 7.'' Yes they should. It's your opinion. But others don't like it. ''I doubt they even own the game'' Many won't even get the game, dork boy. Game is trash and JeffA, stop being an idiot and stop liking this game.
