Hey,
I was a silent reader of this board....
i played the NBA Live Series since NBA Live 95 and i thinging a long time about to buy nba 06
Ok so i just do it and the first lock is smooth. But after approximately 4 hours playing time my feelings about the game are conflicting.
Positive are the better ingame grafics, the very cool music - if like this music style

- the smooth moves of the players, the reports of the staff
But....a low resolution for rosters etc, that i must scroll to lock at the complete roster......

Also ohter screens looks bader as last year....to much Xbox influence....

again like every year no practice for config the pad in the config screen...much more pushing triggers for special moves.... (stick back trigger 2x 4 etc

) and an very big thing......Player Post up
where is post up ???
In NBA 05 for example dish the ball to Shaq inside or a other big men player he post up and he push the devender slowly into the paint..and finsh...
I look with the board searching function, but after 900 postings...puhh i give up

.....and the last big thing.....yes last year it was blocking...this year it is off rebounding.
Marc
Happy X-mas at all !
