[fredfr]

So will NBA Live 07 feature the new ball they are using next season?

[ataman5]

yes if you look at the screenshots ea released you can see it

[gobulls]

were r the pics?

[-Young Buck-]

its not really THAT different, so i dont know how this can change the way we watch the game. lol

[dada]

Can someone find an actual (real life) pic of that thing and post it. I've been looking for it for the past 10 minutes and cant find anything on it.

[-Young Buck-]

apparently they used it during the all star game, which i didnt even notice.

I don't think anyone noticed, and the play by play guys didn't even point it out.

[OldFoolStyle]

It's not that big of a deal, but I still feel the need to make an early request for a traditional b-ball patch. I know one of you artests out there must be having the same idea.

[-Young Buck-]

if it was red white and blue then i could say it WOULD change the way we watch nba, but not the way it is, not a big change.

By watch I think Stern meant better performance by players who use this, who knows???

[dada]

It looks pretty cool. Didnt even notice it in the allstar game. I'll welcome it.

I think that new ball is inside the black box that will be revealed in the nba draft tomorrow.

I think its quite obvious now, since that ball is even in the game screens.

Like someone said before..that ball belongs in the "XtReMe Basketball League" or some other knock off. Though i do like seeing new things..i just hope it doesnt have different properties than the regular ball and fucks the game up.

sweetness. i think that be me.

[zakIrah]

Looks pretty ugly IMO

[BHD]

here's the new ball ;]

the ball absorbs sweat, so it is not slippery anymore ;]
ps. u can buy it in the nba-store for 99.99$

[HtownBallaADL]

tha ball is tight
im goin to buy it

[hammertime23]

It's going to cost 100 dollars unless other companies change the design of there balls too.

[HtownBallaADL]

100 dollars not dat much

[volsey]

I have that ASG poster hanging in my room, really surprised I never noticed it before. Even though the ball is not made of leather, and absorbs sweat or w/e, I still don't think we'll see an improvement in performance from the players.

[zakIrah]

Anyone that says $100 US is cheap is either loaded, saved up or plain spoilt rotten. What do you mean $100 is cheap? Are you joking? I sure hope so.

I have a few ASG posters from SLAM. Never noticed

[volsey]

Well that is pretty cheap, my friend said he bought his official nba ball for $200+ (I think) so compared to the old ball that's pretty cheap. I'm happy with my 4 year old ncaa wilson ball that's torn up and faded.

[HtownBallaADL]

i am loaded

[.Dee.]

Well its just a ball so 100 is too much, espically with the quickness
that it could be damaged (GF puts knife through it, car pops it, ect.) but
it does look nice, but i dont see how it can change anything.
