Damn they're maximizing that ESPN shit...impressive.

[-Young Buck-]

wow, thats amazing shit.

[J@3]

Sounds pretty cool. They have something similar in Madden with the radio show but I can't stand it, hopefully this is better.

[Srbija]

That looks awesome. Some hi-tech stuff right there.

[Ruff Ryder]

Yea but the radio is fictional isn't it? It's a cool feature but I'm pretty sure these are real shows you can stream in Live.

[J@3]

It'd still be the same thing. It'll get repetitive and annoying after a while, regardless of whether it's a real show or a fictional radio show they won't have an endless amount of material to use.

[Null17]

impressive indeed. i was expecting something crappy like just changing the scoreboards and menus

[ThaLiveKing]

Sounds nice. . I want some Visuals and movies now. .

[koberulz]

what's wrong with watching ESPN normally? completely unnecessary.

[funk99]

still its pretty cool

[koberulz]

but unnecessary. in fact, what decent new features are there? none. 2k7, here i come.

[Melo_Poland]

is it only fo' next gen ??

[Raptorel]

What is this all about? Are we going to see real-life shows in NBA Live 07 or pre-recorded shows for the game? I mean, is the game going to connect to some ESPN server and play real-life, present happenings in the league or just some pre-recorded ones?

[CERVANTES]

OH NO... EA Sports starts again with the same shit... they try to show the cool features of the game before their shitty gameplay... I really want Live 07 to be a good game, but I'm not sure it will.

[RSox]

It's alright, but it is for the next-gen.

[koberulz]

who gives a shit what it's for? it wastes space, i dont want it, and i wont use it. period.

[Old School Fool]

Mike and Mike is real, and it never gets repetitive. I have it on ESPN2 right now.

[J@3]

That's because it's a television show. Recorded daily with new material. The Live version will have alot of pre-recorded things that will be quite general and repetitive after a while.

That being said, if the gameplay stacks up I'll buy the game. This is a step in the right direction somewhat.

sos the stuff in the game. its streamed from the real thing. but who gives a shit? i have a televison. and a radio. so does the rest of the world. why do we need to watch it through a fucking video game? whoopdeefuckingdoo. it's retarded. they dump the gameplay in favor of STREAMING A TV SHOW YOU COULD WATCH ON A TV ANYWAY. i swear, if we got 2k at adecent time of year, i would not get live. period. not if they're selling it on footplanting and streaming a fucking tv channel.

[J@3]

Oh are you serious? How fucking useless.

[koberulz]

exactly what i've been saying. and yes i am, i read it on gamespot.

[Cornerthree]

Fuckin' amazing shit

[Cloudy]

I still like this idea, not useless.. It's interesting and a very useful feature for me who do not get ESPN radio...

[koberulz]

why would you need espn radio? especially a half-assed stream in a video game? what are they adding to the gameply? SWEET FUCK ALL, that's what. ooooooh, X-Factor! how fucking arcadish. x-factor player becomes unstoppable in the last 4 minutes of the game. how many NBA players are actually like that? NONE. sure horry/crawford whatever knock down gamewinners all the time, but what about the previous four minutes? NOT FUCKING LIKELY. you can redo the draft. well, whoopdeefuckingdoo. is that ENHANCING my gameplay experience? FUCK NO. they have no sliding. again, whoopdeefuckingdoo. do i actualy notice sliding in the game? not really. do i care? FUCK NO. do i like its disappearance? yeah, its alright. do i like the fact its the only gameplay thing they've changed from last year's coaster-worthy piece of crap? FUCK NO. it IS fucking useless, and i dont care for a half-assed fucking radio/tv show. i dont get ESPN radio either. do i want it? NOT IN A VIDEOGAME.
