| NBA Live 06 Review This is NBA Live 06 for the PSP.  This is pretty much how the graphics are. Pretty impresive... Graphics The graphics are above average in my opinion. There is much detail in the jerseys and even their faces. The court looks fantastic and the crowds really react to what's really happening in the game. The animation really has a flow to it making this game really fun. Sound The court sounds and crowd noise also add to the atmosphere, and the announcing is pretty good too. The game uses EA Pocket Trax and use the same songs from the Xbox and PS2 versions. Controls If you have played the NBA Live 06 versions on the consoles it is almost the same. Due to the lack of a right thumbstick. To pull of cross overs you use the square button. And the circle button is used to dunk and shoot. Which seems more easier to use.  Pulling off a playmaker pass on the PSP... SWEET!!! Gameplay The gameplay really blows you away. The lack of realism in this game doesn't matter because this is just pure fun. There is this really smooth flow of the game whether they are shooting the ball or making a pass. It really resmembles the console versions because of how it plays. The thing that really made this game an awesome game is the fact that they included the Superstar freestyle buttons where you hold the L-button and pull of amazing shots or passes. Only certain players have this feature but it is still great. There are some part of a game where you miss a shot and players just ignore the ball, but you'll get over it. Dificulity If you have played NBA Live before the game you know is kind of easy. Well, it just so happens it got easier. Sometimes players don't really chase after the ball or they make bad passes. But, this dosent take off the fun factor of this game.  The shooting will feel "different" during online play, no biggie... Multiplayer Options There is multiplayer both Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure. The Ad-hoc supports two players and the game really flows smoothly. Nothing bad to say about that. On the other hand, when you play online it is really pitiful. All you do is sign in and challenge someone. From there the game really sucks. The buttons go unresponnsive sometimes and it will just freeze or you will lose connection. Sort of like the same problem Madden had. I just recommend that you don't play online because the game dosent have flow.  Why yes, all the goodness of the NBA All-Star Weekend is here... Replay Value There are the season modes and the All-Star weekend events to keep you playing this game. The mode that will really interest you is the Superstar challenge. You are put it a situation during a game where a certain player has mind blowing stats (ex. Steve Nash getting 19 assists in a game) and it is your job to accomplish that with like 3-4 minutes left in a game. There are a lot of these and and it is the way to unlocking things in the game. Overall I was really amazed after playing my first game and I just kept wanting more and more. If you are an NBA fan with a PSP. This is a what you gotta get. Final Verdict I give this a 9 out of 10. This game is awesome. Good job EA. If there weren't the rebounding and online flaws, this would have been a 10 in my book. Well still its a great game.
