Wowoweeeeeeeeee!!

[Andrew]

Release dates are generally subject to change though. Also, I'd assume the PC version will be out later than that as I can't remember the last time the PC version came before or at the same time as the console versions - if at all.

GameHead.com.au: 2nd October, 2005

Should be available to download from Bearshare on the 4th lol

[Andrew]

I don't think it will be out that early outside North America, and certainly not for the PC.

[stockton12]

i think its a case of wait and see.. dont have ur hopes up to high for early release like last year it could be novemeber for all we know in australia

[Andrew]

If you're talking about the PC version, you can always order from the States since PC CD-ROMs aren't region specific. I've done that in years past.

[stockton12]

yeah was talkin about pc version hmm might just do that thanks

[ice0732]

whatever the release date will be, it looks like the gameplay didn' t improve.. the basing on the screenshots alone, the graphics seems just the same as '05..

these bugs will probably never change:
- arms will continue to go through backboards
- players will still jump in outrageous trajectories
- no calls despite the player is already out of bounds (only 2 refs.. what can you do)
- outrageous dunks in slamdunk competition (esp in superstar mode)
- missing legends
- etc..

when will EA fix all these bugs? they're wasting all the money customers pay for their games..

[Chris.]

i definetly gonna wait and get the xbox 360 because that's where it is gonna be best.

[Andrew]

- missing legends

Not a bug, not even an oversight. They can only include the legendary players they are legally able to.

GameStop has it listed at Sept. 26th. It's also $39.99.

Both NBA Live06 & NBA 2K6 will be release on SEPT 26.

NBA 2K6 takes shots September 26

2K Sports' hoopster dribbles onto PS2s and Xboxes in time for coming NBA season; Xbox 360 version coming "Holiday 2005."
2K Sports, a division of Take-Two Interactive, today announced that the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the next installment of NBA 2K6 will hit the court just in time for the beginning of the 2005-2006 NBA season. Virtual ballers will be able to get their hands on the game on September 26, the same date that Take-Two rival Electronic Arts' NBA Live 06 makes it to store shelves. The Xbox 360 version will remain on course for its "Holiday 2005" release.


The move is hardly surprising, as the two competitors jockey for retail advantage. The pressure to ship a product before competitors has slowly inched up the release dates of sports games to more than a month before the sports they represent kick off.

The September releases of NBA Live 06 and NBA 2K6 come almost a month before the opening of the NBA season, which traditionally begins in the latter half of October. By comparison, the 2001 editions were released on the last day of October or early November.

This year's baseball releases also came out of the dugout early. Both 2K Sports' MLB 2K5 and EA's MVP Baseball 2005 were released in late February, while MLB's actual opening day occurred in April.

As early as the NBA games are scheduled to be released, there is a possibility that the game may be released even earlier. EA released MVP Baseball 2005 a week before its announced release date, which 2K Sports countered by releasing MLB 2K5 immediately after.

For more information on NBA 2K6, check out GameSpot's feature preview.

Anyone know the release date for the PC version in Singapore

[PinoyIDOL]

I think after EA finish the releasing of LIVE06 in consoles. Late October or early November and that's the usual PC release date here in Manila.

http://www.mundofifa.net/article122.html

It's mundofifa.net —quoting from gamestar.com— announcing the official release dates in Europe of some EA's games, INCLUDING NBA LIVE 06!!!!

[The Other Kevin]

[caBron James]

You're right. I forgot to say that those dates were for Europe.

[jaywill]

i cant wait for this game to come out

[nikkolas]

You just have to wait..Maybe 1st wk of October

[jaywill]

it would come out on sept. 12 for the pc in the us. sept. 26 for xbox, ps2, nintendo

[Andrew]

History would suggest the PC version won't be coming out that early nor before the console versions.

[Matt]

it'd be nice if it was in September though.....after skipping 05 im eager to get my hands on 06.

[Andreas Dahl]

The longer it takes them into the fall/winter to release it I consider better now actually. The more time they spend on it, the better it'll be I take it as...
