 Clearly the best live of all time on the ps2. Jul 12, 2009
I'm still playing it now and what is it 2009? It's game play is better than 07, 08, and definitely 09. I see a lot of people complaining about the a i and the dumb shots they make. While this is true, there is ways you can adjust to make it more competitive on superstar mode.
For one, you can do pretty much the same thing the computer can do. In fact when you get it in the post and you pump fake, the computer never bites but it freezes them. So you can shoot and they wont even jump to block or affect the shot. And if you have a scorer rather outside or inside if you do the L1 and y move it usually goes in every time. Thats how you get back at the amazing shots they make.
Another thing is you can play off a guy that cant shoot 3's if you have a guy with a good steal rating. Then when they pass it in the post get an easy steal. Also you can go to full court and play the guy defending the inbound pass and double team the other guys. Sometimes you get easy steals this way.
Plus the superstar features that you can abuse definitely make the game even when going against the computer. Sure you'll be pissed off when you lose or they do amazing things. But you can do the same thing. No one likes to lose and so its easy to get pissed. But the fact is you can do the same thing the computer does and some things better.
A few flaws though. One thing I really hate is when the computer is playing defense, a guy that isn't even looking at you or knows where you're going with the ball moves in front of your pass or drive. This ends up bouncing off of him and into the hands of the other team. Its stupid because the guy isn't even playing defense on you and he ends up with a steal or helping to steal the ball. While you can do this stupid feat as well, rarely does it happen.
Seriously the guy has his back to you and cant see you but he mysteriously knows your next move. For instance you get past a guy and no one is around. The computer is guarding your other player at the corner 3 pt line. He miraculously back peddles with his back to you to beat you to the hole where he then can defend your shot. Basically what its doing is the computer responds so no one can get an easy bucket. So no matter if they can really see you or not, they know where you are and will beat you to the spot. Unless you have dunker where you can put your eh, shorts on their heads.
You actually just have to be a live veteran to play superstar in 06.I mean rarely do I lose. But I tell you when I win, I work hard to win as well. Depending on the team you play with. Its tough to play with a team that doesnt have the proper shooters. The computer just goes to a zone and clogs everything up and you cant get open shots because of the miraculous defenders always popping out quick. And its hard to have the proper ball movement because they'll steal it easily with one wrong pass. Dont expect to make a dumb pass and not turn it over in superstar mode.
How you counter this is dont play with a sucky team of shooters. Or you can play small and put a shooter at the 4. That takes away the zone easily and evens it up to man to man. But unless you keep playing it to develop, you wont win on superstar mode. Its easy to stop playing but I just cant live with a freaking video game being smarter than me. So I'll keep playing until I find advantages I can exploit to win games.
Not much else wrong with the actual gameplay. But if you're like me, you play the dynasty. What I HATE about 06 is when you keep the injuries on ( gotta be like real life right), and a guy gets hurt, he never gets back to what he used to. Now I can understand if the guy gets a 3 month injury and has to work his way back in. But say Lebron gets hurt for a week or two, he comes back and he barely scores 6 points. The only way he gets back to himself is when someone else is hurt. The problem here is if Lebron gets hurt towards the end of the year, and no one else gets hurt, he ends up being a scrub in the playoffs and not even averaging 6 ppg. I've tried some counters like changing the position, putting someone else on the ir, etc. Nothing.
Also the rookies are pretty bad usually. They take too long to develop and none of them usually end up being superstars or having a superstar power which is unrealistic. I've yet to find any drafted players with a superstar power. The rookies usually have some sucky defect no matter how high you draft them. Like low offensive awareness or defensive awareness. Slow speed or extremely low stamina, or no shooting at all. Live 07 did alot better with the rookies and their development though.
Another thing is you cant use the Bird rights rule in 06. Its very helpful in 07 because say you got a guy that you can offer more money but you want to sign someone else. You let that guy test the market knowing you can offer him more plus you have his bird rights. So you can sign another star and still go over the cap to resign that player and even over pay him if you have to. So you can let Lebron walk, go sign Kobe with the cap space and then go over the cap to sign Lebron. In 06, if you let Lebron walk, you cant resign him even if you have his bird rights. So what happens is Lebron ends up in the fa pool until someone signs him. Whats even more stupid is if the computer does the same thing and no one signs the specific player after the fa period, that player goes back to his original team. I tried this and lol, no. Lebron stayed right in the fa pool and I couldnt sign him. Thank God for the memory card and so forth.
The draft also could have a better lottery. You'll never see a team move up that much in the lottery on 06. Where in real life it happens all the time. Also like all the lives it has a dumb flaw. You can easily and legally get a team's superstar for a couple average players if that team really needs to fill that position. Say the Lakers need a pg and I have two decent ones. I can match the salaries and trade both of them for Kobe or even add a 3rd if the Lakers had enough roster spots. Its stupid because of course no one in their right mind would approve those trades. You'll find it alot easier to rebuild a team because as soon as you develop a couple young guys you can trade them for Lebron, Kobe, Howard etc. Try winning a title without doing a 2 for 1 trade, good luck. That's a big challenge and its also alot funner. But the dumb injury glitch makes it even tougher.
So as far as gameplay especially playing against friends and what not, live 06 is the best. High paced action, superstar modes, freestyle replays are all great. Its just certain things in the dynasty mode that pisses me off. Still not enough to take away from the best live of all time imo. At least for the ps2. So a five star indeed. I have the money and in fact I've already bought live 09(sucked), live 08(sucked), and live 07 which I may repurchase to play a better dynasty mode. So to see me here with the old 06 instead of keeping these should be a given. I actually just bought it to play with my little nephew. Turns out Im playing it more than him now.
Fun May 18, 2009
This is a fun game. Whatever faults it may have, it is fun, and that's what I look for in games: fun.
Great Fun And Easy to Learn Sep 17, 2007
This was my first basketball game for my PS2. I've always stuck to football, baseball, etc. I don't like basketball much so I figured I wouldn't enjoy playing it on a PS2 either. Boy was I wrong! This game is fast paced, easy to learn, and yet difficult enough to keep you interested. The graphics are not bad like the previous reviews say. They're not the best - but they aren't bad either. I highly recommed this game.

 They get worse every year Oct 23, 2006
EA sports are going in reverse. The 99 version on playstation one was better. The graphics on this one haven't improved for 5 years, the camera angles aren't helpful and gameplay is unrealistic. I still own the playstation version from years ago and would rather play that. At least until a worthy substitute comes along. The only positive of this one is the career mode.
