    I told my dad last night how I wanted NBA 2K7, And he told me to wait until my birthday.Well, He snuck out and bought it for me last night only he got NBA Live 2007 instead not knowing the difference. I am not happy about it but I didn't let him know, I acted like it was the right game because he was doing something nice for me.NBA Live is pretty good.- At the start up menu there is a small mix of the player on screen, It shows all of Kobes real life highlights in the right corner while your looking through the options.- The X-Factor mode is awesome. It takes a 6th man or role player and turns them into superstars for a short time, Before each game they give the X-Factor player, I played with the Mavs and it was Devean George, I played with Denver and it was Earl Boykins.Clutch players that take over whenever the game is on the line or when they're in the zone. They're not necessarily Superstars, but they can completely take over and dominate a meeting between teams when the time is right. This feature is known as "The X-Factor," and is based on how frequently the player can get involved in the flow of the game. This means getting them the ball, making shots and creating turnovers. Once these athletes are feeling the groove, players can trigger the X-Factor, temporarily turning into a Freestyle Superstar for at least 5 minutes. There's also a strategic feature to the X-Factor: players aren't forced to trigger the ability as soon as the athlete is in the zone, but to retain the option to become an X-Factor, the man on the court has to remain actively involved in the offense and defense.- The touch pass, It's a great way to get a fast break started.- Player emotions, They point to the bench, Bench players stand up and cheer, They bump chests, Pump fists, Everything.- Chemistry, If a player doesn't receieve playing time, His chemistry rating goes down. If you put Raja Bell on the same team as Kobe Bryant the overall team chemistry drops.Rating 7/10.

    If you ever get a chance to play 2k7 please make a review of which you think is better. Also, is it still arcade-ish like alot of people say, or did they make it more realistic?

    It's more realistic. The free throws look amazing.

    Wow I hope they have something like this with the NBA live for ps2, the new NBA live sounds great and it's making my decision harder on weather I should get NBA live or NBA 2k6. Does anyone know how much both games cost for ps2?

    Does anyone know weather the NBA live and nba 2k7 basically have the same graphics for the older systems such as PS2,Xbox and gamecube that the new systems do like when ps3 comes out and the 360, I mean I don't expect the graphics to be exactly the same and the features but are they pretty similar, What I'm trying to say would it be worth to buy these games on the old systems?

    Hahah, whoa. Same exact story for me, except I actually wanted Live, not 2K7. Anyways, I havn't gotten around to playing it yet, but from reading your review, it sounds great.

    I will be buying 2k7 instead of Live this year. I wasnt impressed at all with last year's NBA Live. Way too unrealistic, and the superstar thing was retarded. It allowed Josh Smith to score 30 points easily. That is just retarded.The Dynasty mode was stupid too. They didnt have MLE in it. You had to be under the cap to sign anyone.
