Here is a little link about the oh so great quality of nba live 07, at the bottom of the link there are some youtube videos of some hilarious bugs that have surfaced in the final game. Thank God the NBA didn't sellout to EA like the NFL did.
Now if only NBA 2k7 came out on a PC or on the Wii...chances of either are about 1 in million though.

Now that the 2K series has stopped trotting out ports of the old Dreamcast version, Live really has no redeeming functions whatsoever. EA better either fix what's wrong, or pull a Madden and give the NBA a big bucket full of money to outlaw all competition.

Reading the letter it seems the site is full of hardcore EA fans. Most of us anti-EA types just don't like EA's style of game design, even when it's executed correctly. Real fans sh!tting on their product shows that EA has really started to slip

QuoteDidn't 2K games start supporting the GameCube again recently? I just want a hockey game on the Wii - that new analogue thing EA did with the 360 version is cool, but imagine that with the controller..

Since Madden is the only NFL game out there I'm really in a tight squeeze. I haven't played an NFL game since NFL 2k5 on xbox, and the last madden game i've played was 2002 on GCN.
I haven't really played any new sports games but i kinda want to so I'm gonna take a wait and see for Madden on Wii.

I think people would be more willing to ignore the niggling little issues like that if the big ones were being addressed, but it's just not the case. They keep adding new, often ill-conceived aspects to the game, but they never address the very real flaws that already exist. I think they need to make a hard choice with Live as to where they want it to go.
Either it's a simulatoin, in which case those franchise mode things have to be fixed, the AI has to be spot on. They must get the CBA right, and frankly the franchise mode needs more depth. Or it's an arcade game, and those graphics bugs need to be fixed. In an ideal world they'd put enough developers on it to handle both tasks, but I think everyone's had enough of them resting on their imaginary laurels.

ppl need to start realizing EA is completely evil, look at what they did to DICE: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=11153
EA first took about 60% of shares back in January 2005, and now they've taken them completly out and closed their offices and are "interviewing" employees for jobs at other EA studios. I don't know about u guys but that reminds me of Office Space where they are interviewing for their own jobs, very scary.
Any game developer out there should outright quit and look for a new job as soon as EA starts buying up stocks of their company. The Rare guys all ditched when things with Nintendo started going south and Microsoft started getting in the picture. Those guys were smart to do so.

My gaming tastes usually are 30% RPG, 20% Adventure, 20% Action, 5% Fighting, 5% Racing, 10% Sports, 10% Music games. Past Gen's I've only purchased 1 sports game for NFL and 1 for NBA. For me my options are going to be extremely limited unless i break down and get a 360, which i will not do untill there are atleast 5 games I'd buy.

Do you play ANY game that wasn't made in Japan?
