Fun:
Well folks I can tell you that I have been an NBA Live regular player from way back in 1995 with the original game. Myself or my friends have owned nearly all of the games from one time or another and I have to say this game is a massive let down.
There are three major problems here.
1. the camera angle. Its nuts. Surely the boys at EA Sports must have realised that when you are playing the game and you pass the ball from one side of the court to the other that the camera must move or zoom or do something...
In fact the EA Sports boys have indeed failed to realise this. So when you pass the ball across the court you can't see you player or the ball and so you have to go on guess work alone or switch to the baseline view and watch you players from afar.
2. Free Throws. The old + shaped target where you had to get the two spots over each other to score has been scrapped. In stead you now have to use your right thumbstick in a "down/up motion" to get the ball to go in. Sound hard? I'm about 11 for 120 shots (no joke) even when using some of the best shooting players in the league.
3. Franchise mode. This was a great idea brought in by EA Sports a while back allowing you to manage your roster and player developments. Seems now EA Sports have decided to drop it. Why? Too much work? I don't know but it really shortens the longevity of the game and takes away a really strong dimension to the game which I enjoyed.
To Summarise
I loved the graphics and the players movements it seems that EA Sports have still worked hard at being on the frontline with this. However, with all of the other cut backs on the game and after 10 years of playing it I don't like where EA Sports are going with this game. I'm done with this franchise and I would advise everyone to think about going else where to get there NBA games. I paid £18.00 for it second hand and even at that price I feel cheated.

This is excellent the graphics are life like. They even sweat. The Soundtrack and commentary are finer than any fifa currently around. The Camera Angles problarly need adjusting the first thing you play. But also they need a tutorial on how the game plays. One thing you will notice with most 360 games, are the menu systems seem to be 16:9 for some strange reason, so you will find a struggle to see as times. The game also displays cut seens to the crowd and fouls and manager losing it. It one of the best Basket Ball games around.

Fun:
Right good game, it is... honestly. Stop laughing ! This is a good game all round but the problem is the camera angles.
There's around 4 to 5 choices of camera angles but there all are a let down, for instance..... in the break you pass the pall up court and by the time the camera catches up you have people surrounding you ! pretty infuriating GRRRRR ! ! !
My advice is miss this one and hope NBA live 07 is better
