Official site is Up for NBA LIVE 06

[kp4life]

It is finally up with the key features. It seems like there is nothing new in dynasty mode, and their main key feature that they are going for this year seems like superstar freestyle. I was a bit disappointed with the key feature. I think superstar freestyle is cool and everything but i don't think it should be a "main" feature that they are going for. Steve Kerr is our next commentator which i like, and rest of them is just a basic feature that appears every year like new graphic, authentic 5-on-5 Gameplay, etc.

That is claimed to be a PS2, not PS3 shot. Hmmm...

Some screens from the website:











I hope those aren't renders, the lighting looks a lot better. They seem to have added mesh holes again, if they had it in Live 05, I hardly noticed it. I really like the lighting, Denver's jersey's actually look nice.

One thing they also seem to have gotten right is the black. In previous Lives the black jersey color hasn't been black, it's been a dark tint of gray. The Heat jersey's actually look black!

Grr, if these are renders.

Naw they can't be renders, they look just like how the game would exactly look. It would've been funnyi f the game looked like the actual video they showed which I knew the game wasn't going to look like it. I would like to see more of that sweat feature that they added into the game too from the pics. I couldn't really tell if the sweat was showing or not because the players are always shiny in the game

The screens look nice but I hate the short texture on the Sonics's jersey!!!

[MaD_hAND1e]

LOL, I reckon.. this looks nothing like the first video at all.
That screen of Josh Smith(i think it's him) does not look promising at all, his head is way above the rim!!!

Man, i gotta tell ya...this game I think will blow 05 outta the water. Guess i cant say for sure till it comes out but i got a feeling its gonna be MUCH better.

I believe that is because the first video you saw was for Xbox 360, these screens are for Xbox, Ps2, Gamecube, and Pc...

[[L3]1101]

so EA's gonna release something completely different for Xbox 360 than PC, Xbox, PS2?
Is it possible that they'll release the same version for PC as the 360?

Ever seen Josh Smith throw it down? he gets pretty damn close to what you see there.

[Old School Fool]

Noooo....Not Steve Kerr! We're all gonna die!!

Oh yeah, I noticed that there is a Dorna for Toyota.

[T-Comm55]

Nice Pics. From what I read so far I think NBA Live 06 is a advancement of NBA Live 2003 not 2005. SWEETTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The camera view helps make it look that way too.

[Sauru]

they better do something with dynasty mode, its the only reason i still buy nba live

[Blazers]

you are right sauru, dynasty mode is a big part of why most people buy nba live. i am looking forward to hear any news or see any pics or video about dynasty mode.

[kp4life]

yeap... dynasty mode is huge... and i think andrew was also looking foward to seeing some new dynasty mode features.... but i doubt it because it's not in their key features. If they were making something new then they would definitely put that down on their key features but i guess not...

[Blazers]

yeah i guess ea is not ganna add a new feature in dynasty mode. most people play in dynasty mode so why ea is not putting a new feature in it? the only way to make it fun is to add more to the dynasty but yet people who work in ea don't think that way!!!

Did anyone see that episode of The Simpsons where Mr. Burns recruited heaps of pro baseballers to be ringers in a big softball game? Remember Ken Griffey Jnr drinking that nerve tonic that gave him a gigantic head? That appears to be what has happened to NBA Live 06.

Hmm?

Dynasty Mode had so much promise last year, that I hope they just make the scouting a lot easier. Allow us to send out all 3 scouts without having to exit and re-enter the screen...and let us scroll a page at a time.

Other than that...Dynasty mode took such a quantum leap last year that it would be okay if not much changed.

Oh, I would like players to gain weight, though. And there weren't enough guys getting to true superstar ratings. But other than that it was great.

[Blazers]

i know what dynasty mode has right now, but i really want to be able to fire/hire coach and ability to do 3 way trade. also to sign a player for lower price if you are a title contender. If these are in nba live 06, then i want nothing more.

[J@3]

Look at the size of their heads in the pictures, it's just wrong.

[[L3]1101]

those wrinkles in the jerseys better move when players move. Orelse it's just a hoax. I personally hate the graphics. It almost look animated than realistic. The faces looks good, but it's not much of a improvement from 2005. They look nothing like what I saw for the Xbox 360 video.

[Andrew]

Thanks kp, I've posted the link on the main page (giving you credit) and added the new information to our NBA Live 06 subsite.

Personally, I have no complaints about the graphics. I can sort of see where Jae is coming from with the player heads, but I think some of the camera angles are contributing to that. I really like the player faces and jersey textures.

I'm not greatly worried about the absence of Dynasty Mode features on the official features list at the moment, Dynasty Mode has already been overhauled and I would expect the next improvements to be fixes, improvements and new "little things"; those aren't the things that make the box as selling points.

[J@3]

Actually I also like the rest of it, the heads bother me but otherwise I think it looks ok.

Oh, apart from Kenyon Martin seemingly shitting himself in the first pic.
