[Question] NBA 2K7 versus NBA Live 07 for XB360

Having looked at a few images of NBA Live 07, I can say it's done one heck of an upgrade from last year. I rented 06 recently and what a complete mess of a game. :doh: Visuals were something else and the controls were quite sloppy. I've been a big fan of the 2K sports series and after having played the demo, I decided to just rent 2K7 instead of making a purchase. Problem with these sports titles is it's updated every year with new rosters, dunks and other features. That didn't stop me from adding the game to my queue list so it should be in the mail either tomorrow or wed so hope to see ya online over the weekend. :eyebrow:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Got impatient yesterday after *0* media reviews of NBA Live 07 and just picked up NBA2K7. Well I looked a bit at the Gamefaq boards and from what I can tell that 2K7 is the better package.

Will be playing it all this weekend so feel free to friend/msg me if anyone wants to do a game. I'll add you Jeff if you dont mind.

Feel free to go ahead and add me to the list, just be sure that you jot something down. I usually prefer having some sort of message description before adding users on my friend's list. The game just shipped from Gameznflix, no idea as to why it took so long but it should be here tomorrow. I'll have it all to myself tomorrow, classes were cancelled.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Gameznflix totally screwed up, they sent me the Xbox version of 2K7 and I didn't bother to play it. Just wrapped it back and ran up the block to the mailman to send it back. Not only that but they're system is not working as it should be...according to their records, I have returned games that I have sitting at my doorstep. :eyebrow:

As for cons, I'm surprised nobody mentioned the soundtrack. That party people track, I don't know what on God's green earth was that?

Update: Got the game in yesterday from gameznflix and it seems the creators of the game were concerned with loading time most of all. There are some player models on 2K6 which actually look better than certain 2K7 models. Yeah I know, I'm still scratching my head over that one. The game features no main menu which was odd and not only that but after a quick game, should you choose to alter the game settings, there is no way to accept these settings and go back. Basically a slap and pack job was done here and passing it off for a quick $60. The achievements for the most part should keep you busy but that's if you can make it out without pulling all your hair from listening to the horrible 2K7 soundtrack. Thank God for my Zen Micro. While the game does feature some motion capturing, you'd figure by now that would be an actual standard when it comes to basketball games, heck it was done on PSOne games. I'm just glad I didn't pay for this. When I think of it, Live 07 must be one hell of an awful game for players to praise this as the next gen BB fix. That's something I won't be renting but overall, I'll grab a few achievements over the weekend and send this game back.

Oh yeah TonyDaTigger, if you're interested in those online achievements, we could set up 1 minute games and swap wins back and forth. Easiest way I can think of. :lolsign:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
