Which NBA vidoe games do u guys like??

I don't know if this thread belongs here......I just wants to know who here plays any video games............

I myself like NBA LIVE (EAsport) I'm constantly updating the roster so I can mimic each game the kings play in hopes of them winiing in acutallity.

I have NBA Live '05 and like it a lot except for the dunk competition which I just don't have the patience for. I'd love to hear about '06 when you (plural) get ahold of it. Maybe get a game review from those who have it? I too try to give the Kings Karma by crushing the opposition in the digital realm.

Skillet, i was going to start a thread similar to this but you beat me to it.:) Anyways, i have Live '05 too. I always play the fanchise mode(simulating regular season games and play only playoffs games).I mimiced the current Kings lineup, and the result is really curious, the kings had one of the worst points allowed/gm( a sign of things to come?).:(

I'm just not a big fan of those simulation games, personally i think the best nba game ever was nba showtime for nintendo 64 lol. it was just so much fun playing with j dubb, c webb and vlade.

the 2k series is my personal favorite...ecept for 2k5 which was very week...2k6 looks extremly good and less arcadish than live does....the whole code is being rewritten too so those of you who may not have liked the 2k series in the past may want to give it another consideration

and the 2k series games are only 20 bucks! i love those games, i think that they can be the most realistic out of them all if you want to simulate a real nba game. graphics are better than live too. but the best one to play over and over again is mos definately streets 2. i can play that for hours

I'm a ESPN 2k fan myself. One of the things about 2k5 was that Peja and Bibby could knock down about 90% of the 3's you put up with them. It was a little rediculous actually. I play with 3 other friends, 2 vs 2, and my team never lost. One game Peja went 16/17 from 3 point land. :p

Haha, yeah the Peja and Bibby 3 pt shooting was pretty ridiculous in 2k5. In fact three point shooting overall was pretty ridiculous. I'd like to see a couple things changed about that game to make it more realistic and value finding the open man closer to the basket.

I haven't tried NBA Live. I'll have to check them both out when I get my Xbox 360. As far as I know they are both launch games.

2k is that game.... i cant wait to buy 2k6 tomorrow....

2k5 was a little off with the 3pt shooting.... peja could actually take advantage of his height in that game.... i used to play him at the 2 or 3 and just post up 6'6 players, wait for the double team then hit open guys for easy shots..... i had peja average a triple double for a season and bibby lead the league in assists since i always posted people with peja....

i cant wait to do that again with peja and miller.... play peja at 2 miller at the 3 but have them guard the 3 and 5 on defense..... so i can just post up players and let bibby score 30 pts a game.... on nothing but wide open 3's..... totally unrealistic... but its funny.... people freak out online when i had peja at the 2 posting up kobe and wade.... or had brad posting up lebron.... they'd be in foul trouble by halftime.... players got so many open shots in the first half that i wouldnt even play them in the 3rd..... id alter minutes, peja would play in the 1st and brad would be on the bench half way through then i would switch in the 2nd.... then bibby would get his assists in the 3rd.... the kings averaged 132 ppg, martin averaged 15 ppg, bobby had 20..... it was hilarious....

Any of u guys heard of NBA '06 by Sony? Thats the game im gonna get, u can actually lead a PG through the game, its called Life Vol. 1. u play a PG on any team, and there are cool cut scenes. Ingame, instead of playing the whole game, u have to accomplish certain goals. Be sure to look it up on ign. Its obviously only for PS2 and PSP cuz sony made it.

But that game is WAY too arcadish and if you want a better sim than get NBA Live 06, or NBA 2k6, but I ALWAYS prefer NBA Live 06. :D
