NBA Live 06 - The Game That Killed NBA Live 

This game killed NBA Live? This game was my favorite live game! Granted I played the GameCube version

I actually loved this Live. 03 was my favorite but this was the last good Live for me.

Once NBA Live went to the Xbox 360/PS3 generation, that was where the developers really lost their way. I still have my NBA Live 06 for PC to this day. For me, NBA Live 2005 on PS2 and NBA Live 06 on PC were the last two great games in the franchise.

The 360 version of every EA Game from this era was shitty They stripped so many features just to make sure they had the graphics down

NBA 06 was great, NBA live 07 was not...

This was the best basketball game of all time. I still play it on the GameCube to this day

The ps2/Gamecube version was better imo

Live failed miserably on next gen.

03-06 were good for me the ps2 ones I got 2k7 on ps2 then never looked back

Bro this was my favorite nba live besides 04 and 05 , I only had 3 games when I first my got my 360 live 06 fight night and some racing game game, I use to get chills when I seen dwade load up on that screen for the first time.

d wade on the cover 2005-2006 heat...how can it be bad?

Live 06 on ps2 was like 1/4 of my childhood 😂

this game was the best LIVE ever made...F you mean? This game was best on ps2 but rushed on to NEW GEN

Nowadays people expect too much from any video game they want a game to Almost be realistic I don't care about that as long as EA Sports and NBA 2k make video games that's all good I say stop complaining and enjoy the video games like I say at least they are making them for us to enjoy imagine if they stop making NBA games just cause some people complain about it chill people chill just enjoy I'm grateful for this companies EA Sports & NBA 2k for making this videos games that I enjoy playing 😎

This game was crap because it was bare bones in features. No Dynasty mode, no dunk contest, 3 point contest or one on one. Also the animations looked worse because it didn't match the graphics. That said if I was forced to play Live 06 on 360 or Live 14, I'm playing 06.

NBA live 2006 xbox original was the best nba game of all time the x box 360 and ps3 version of the game was not the same this new generation is trash in everything there video games are way too technical the new NBA games 2k 17-20 is like u have to hold the button 3.3 sec to make a shot 3.2 sec u miss 4.1 sec u miss . It's too technical too real it takes out the fun . U have grown men play8ng games in this generation..smh video games was for kids . And then u wounder why u have a bunch of immature grown ups they ruined gaming .. the best games was in the early 2000s after 2008 it went down hill and that's NBA games NFL games wwe games the only game that got better was UFC as far as sports NBA 2k doesn't even have a dunk contest that's like pathetic smh NBA live 05 and 06 was the greatest hands down

In my own personal opinion, NBA Live had been on the decline for quite some time. The last good NBA Live to me was NBA Live 2000. It was the last one that had fluid and intuitive gameplay. The physics were right, and the ease of pickup on the controls were right. I bought 2001, 2002, and 2003 out of pure habit, but i hated those games. Then i just said screw it, and tried ESPN Basketball in 2003, and I was a 2K convert ever since. But now 2K sucks too with all the micro transactions, so i dont even play that anymore. 🤷🏾‍♂️

nba live 2005 was the better

NBA 06 went hard 04 too and 08 with Gilbert arenas on the cover was the last good one

Live 06 was played like live 99 and had really good graphics

NBA Live 18 is actually very good, its the first good NBA Live game that EA has made since Live 10, in my opinion.

Graphics aren’t bad compared to today

The basketball net was the only thing good about this game, sadly they reverted back to no net animation in live 19

This game is completely different from Xbox to PS2

i love live 2004

If you never played live 06 at the time, how can you make your claims. 06 was great

Madden is now more enjoyable than 2k? Objectively false.

I still have NBA live 06 for PS2 Dwade was my favorite player growing up I was 11 when I got this game I even bought the PS3 version when I was 13 in 07 and got the PS3 for Christmas

The worst nba live by far is 07 for ps2/ og Xbox. 06 for ps2/og Xbox was good. Once 07 came out it was like they tried to do to much and didn’t even finish the game before shipping. It’s the most broken nba game I have ever played hands down.

PS2 XBOX GAMECUBE was great for NBA live 06. XBOX 360 better graphics texture quality yes

It was at least the beginning of the end.

Where to me 2K beat NBA Live is on Dynasty or GM mode, (NBA Live had way too many undersized players in the dynasty and didn't have multi team control dynasty, ) someone also on NBA Live a point guard for years would be the highest scorer which wasn't always realistic

Same from Nba2k13 as well. The gameplay in NBA2K13 Was horrible. The graphics in NBA2K13 Was Amazing but the players was Horrifying!!

nba live 07 is what killed nba live franchise not 2006

Lmfao 😂 this is how I know not to listen to other people’s reviews of video games. This is my all time favorite sports game. When I was a kid I could’ve gave two fucks about other people’s opinion on my favorite game. Crazy

This is why I'd rather avoid the NBA Live games and stick to the NBA 2K games instead. The same goes with avoiding Sony's NBA series.

Live 06 was good on the older platforms

This game definitely did not kill NBA LIVE.

This game was lit but glitch asf . All you had to do was drive n kick worked every time big man would always help lol

Visual concepts made nba action games prior to their 2k name change.

This is actually live ‘07. Wrong title

This was the BEST NBA live dude lol 07 killed it.

Playback speed: 1.5x

The skinny ghostlike player animations lol

NBA live 06 was one of the best Nba live games ever

06 was a classic on ps2. Next gen is when live fell off

Ps2 live games were good not 360 or ps3

Live is still the best 2k was good up to 2k12 than in 14 live killed it and has been since last year sucks they slowed up on the production this year

Dynasty mode was the bomb on nba live 06

You Forgot to mention that the 2K series NBA/NFL 1st came to Sony &Xbox the games were $19.99 each instead of the $49.99 each for Live and Madden . So getting both Nba&NFL2k for cheaper than cost of an EA sports was a win

For me, Nba Live 14 killed Live

this game was the real shit wtf are you on?

Bro I played this all the time at Walmart! The nostalgia!

The best nets

This graphic wise was the best until 2k14 came out lol

Complete swing and a miss

Loved the Original Xbox version but when I got it for the 360 it just felt horrible and I was hyped to play it because of the graphics

300th like

LOL I HAVE THIS GAME TOO

What a terrible take. Lol

That's the best gameplay of Live 06 on the 360 I've ever seen. Did you edit sliders and rosters? It plays much better, other than the terrible running animation/speed.

Bro you know nothing.

NBA Live 06 on PC is the GOAT. I think I played that up to like 2011 or 2012 or something.

I still got this on my PSP lol

‘03 and ‘05 were the BEST NBA LIVE GAMES. 2000 was iconic as well ‼️

It was cool on ps2

Android po ba

This game on Xbox 360 is the best in the series and of the best NBA games of all time

Chris Paul is 2k8 Shaq and Wade is 06 2k6 Kobe 2k10

I liked this game a lot actually. Not as much as 05.

This version is for pc, ps3-4, xbox? Can it be downloaded?

Killed live!???!?! Heelllll nooo this was my fav one fr AI was that nigga on here

That's the problem with EA today. It's nothing but a dumbed down pick up and play arcade game. You are out of your fucken mind if you're telling me the most recent Madden games are better quality than the NBA 2k series.

EA didnt even bother to fix issues in Live 07 that were present in 06 but Live 08 was a step in the right direction which i did enjoy

The title is off. Live 06 was the last good Live.

I have this game and I had fun playing it

Crazy thing is, this game was actually incredible on the previous gen

EA’s exclusive license deal with the NFL killed all their games lol

I had the original Xbox version I loved the game but I remember gameplay being choppy as hell

Just bought this on GameCube is there not a shot meter ?

WTFF THERES A PS3 VERSION??!!?

The gameplay was ok

It wasn’t Live 07’ ??

99, 03 and 06 was the 3 lives I played

Hardest live ever 06

Shit, this is well done.

Amazing graphics

This one of the best

I think the comments said enough, this was a good game. I spent hundreds of hours on this game.

ah yes 2005...nazr mohammad at center for the spurs who played bruce bowen robert horry and brent barry all these major minutes cause they had no one else so poor tim tp manu were spent by the end of the year...look at that spurs bench in 05 outside of horry and brent...glen d brown rasho udrih tony mass marks wilks...wow what a mess of a squad....they had nobody outside of 7 guys they could trust ...

NBA Live 10 killed it 06 and 07 were advanced

How the hell you say, you never played NBA Live 06 but give the video that title? Fuckin backwards. After Live 09, they went dead. Live 10 is the killer. NBA Live 09 is seriously top 5 basketball games of all time.

I dont know what you talkin bout mane. This game was fun af.

If we talk about great NBA Lives you have to separate last gen and next gen. Last gen was 06, 07 and on was basically the same game repackaged and next gen 06 thru 09 terrible animations stripped game features and basically they ported 06 from last gen with new textures. I think EA got very greedy and that came back to bite them. 2K6 really wasn’t that good of a game tbh but compared to NBA Live it’s makes it seem like it’s better when you compare animations features realism presentation. EA focuses on little stuff while 2K will make the whole game feel different but leave out little features that could push them to somewhere they couldn’t be touched like with 247 mode in 07 which was the first myplayer storyline in 2K history

The ball has no physics looks like a putty been hurled like a fast ball

Both NBA live 06 & NBA live 07 Were Absolutely great in my opinion.cause I had both of them long time ago back on Xbox 360 and PS2
