New info of NBA Live 06 at IGN.

[J@3]

Considering how good ESPN 2K5 was, I"m assuming 2K6 will be the game to buy the rookie scouting was something I was unaware of and it sounds fantastic. In 2K5 you can only get scouting reports (albeit indepth) and NBA comparisons, but no workouts or anything. The actual draft itself is nice too.

[Mentally Hilarious]

Will ESPN be non-PC as 2k5? I hated not being able to compare the two.

[J@3]

Yeah I think it's still console only.

yes, NFL 2k5 was good "hey, im Kurt Warner, oh, you're trying to sack me. but in this game, anything can happen, so i'l' just duck under anyone"

[cocobee]

Enough about NBA Live superstar already! Isn't there any other aspect of the game EA has touched (cough) like the shallow ass dynasty mode and lack of multiplayer dynasties?

Man, I'm getting sick of them talking about nba live superstar like it's sliced bread. I hope 2006 is deeper than just nba live superstar?

Thanks for the article my friend. I'm a little bit concerned though they are saying the power players are the unstoppable force ...... and i wonder if I double team a power player could he stil be able to dunk on them... very intrigued. D-Wade also said he was a highflyer and he could dunk on anybody.

The article mentioned that if they were to go up against a stopper they could get rejected or get offensive fouls. I guess it's natural for Shaq to be able to dunk on Olowokandi, but if he goes up against a much better defender like Ben Wallace, he might get rejected.

Ben dont want it with Shaq noooooooooooooooooooo [/jay-z]

[Point God]

i still dont like the blocks ... i think the defender should just swing at the ball and if he hits it he blocks him ... not if the D jumps at the same time while the guy on offense is doing a layup/dunk there is a certain percentage that we will get blocked and YOU KNOW when he will get blocked when the guy on offense's body kinda changes position in the air... as you can see in the pheonix/miami clip where Q get blocked by shaq

[BeastOfTheEast1]

i agree with u i hate it when it slows down then u get blocked or when ur far away and then out of no where he runs and blocks u i hope they fix that

[Its_asdf]

I have never seen such lyrical poetic artistry.

thank you, least someone is smart lol .... argh, stupid blocking IMPO they should have blocks kinda like the 2k series, i like them more than Lives

-Ben Wallace should have any offensive sets either being considered a power player. The only player who in my opinion should have the right to have any offensive sets in the Detroit Pistons should be Richard Hamilton, the rest of the team are just average to above average as far as offensive end is concerned, nothing special in them to take them into superstar consideration.

-The pic linked by Andreas looks good but they have only 3 players sitting on the bench >>> is that realistic? I know it's a minor thing and I hope EA put enough effort on the mayor things.

-I thought for one moment that the quotes pointed by J were from Live 06 but then I read his first sentence and noticed it was not

Chauncey Billups is arguably right there with Rip offensively. Also though Rasheed on Detroit hasn't been as offensive a player, he's a guy that through most of his career has been in the 17-19 PPG range, but their's no offensive superstar thing you'd give to him.

You could give Billups the "shooter" one, actually he should have that.

[beau_boy04]

For some reason I can't edit my posts anymore. Maybe it's my cookie control which is not letting me do such thing.

Anyways I meant that Ben Wallace shouldn't have any offensive sets.

The way I see it in Nba Live 07, I say 07 because 06 only allows you to have one offensive sets per player.

Korver should be a outside shooter
Ben Wallace - inside stopper
Iverson - shooter and outside scorer
Kobe - highflyer, shooter, outside scorer (only if he betters his shots selection)
Lebron - same as kobe
Bowen - outside stopper
and so on...


Oh my gosh, isn't this superstar thingy supposed to highlights the best players in the league? I doubt Bruce Bowen is a superstar and one of the best however he truly deserves the outside stopper superstar icon. This whole superstar case is tricky.

[Goldenstatewarrior]

Yea. Maybe the whole Superstar thing should be called another name to make it more specific.

[fgrep15]

Kobe - highflyer, shooter, outside scorer

Kobe shooter? Lebron same as Kobe would make him also be a shooter, they aren't shooters by any means, especially LJ. The only SG's who should get shooter would be Ray Allen, Michael Redd, Rip if their's shooter for Mid-range only [maybe Kobe could get that one], and maybe Vince because he's a much better shooter than people give him credit for. Career 39% 3PT shooting, and 3 years shooting 40%+.

[Voxel]

yeah LBJ's jump shoot got better this season but it's still kinda average. outside scorer would be ok both for kobe and him with occasional high flying. what scares me most about this stuff is if the AI is going to limit those moves, they better not have wade or lebron dunking on the opposite centers more than 2 or 3 times a game. also the way to prevent it should be not beeing able to pull this moves and not just turning it into a high-flying-dunk-block-fest. same goes with power players. i don't recall but i seriously doubt someone got dunked on in the face more than 3 times in a game except maybe shawn bradley.

[Rokas[LTU]]

except maybe shawn bradley.

[Goldenstatewarrior]

LOL...Remember when T-Mac posterized Shawn. WOW!

[naciremadream]

Keon Clark's facial on Shawn Bradley was the best IMO. it was on ESPN top 10 shawn bradley posterized plays

[Kobe101]

Whats a "Barkey Dunk"?

Do you mean Charles Barkley's dunk?

So how did he dunk?
