NBA 2k6 (X360) - 1up.com review

This is NBA 2K6

Damn your edit!
 
The graphics whore in me is calling to Live now :(


(As a side note, we should point out that 2K6's graphics benefit greatly from a high-definition television. While both games obviously look better in HD, 2K6 makes a bigger leap than you might expect when moving from a normal to an HD set.)

Since I dont have an hdtv,im not going to get the better upgrade in graphic quality it seems.It would be like turning around and buying a 60$ version of the same xbox game I just traded in that I already spent $40 on earlier this year.

$100 for the same game with maybe a little bit of a difference in graphics for me and despite what everyone says about the ft system in 2k6,I hate it this year,but thats cause I sucked at it so much :(
 
why do you think NBA 2k6 Xbox version isn't on the BC list for 360! you're all brain washed! F YOU 2k SPORTS!














p.s. none of EA's xbox sports games are compatible w/ 360 either :D


also, you can actually save $20 because NBA 2k6 is $39.99 on xbox.

*If you care about graphics over gameplay


I didnt even care for the gameplay in 2k6,not saying lives is good cause its usually worse,but I had more fun playing street ball in 2k6 against Fifty then playing an actual game.

Yeah, I have a feeling, since it's the exact same gameplay, that we'd end up doing that again on the 360 :lol :( And if that's true, I really don't see the incentive for me to get it. I don't doubt it's a solid game, just whether or not it's a next gen game.

Personally I only play online, so as long as Live's core gameplay is there, I'd probably get it. The animations just look SO ridiculous at times I find that hard to believe.

Yea,but this time we would have the joy of paying another 60$ for the same game,doesnt that make you all giddy inside like Konex,atleast you have an hdtv to make it look better :( If I do get the game,I'll just use my slick older brother skillz and talk my bro into buying it.

I only play online too,but EA's track record with bball online is horrible and thats another thing for me to worry about.Best thing for me was getting out of that walmart.com bundle,now I can pick which bball game I want.

1up.com guys,make sure to have atleast one crotch shot of Jgar!
 
Well you guys gave live an 8 and 2k6 a 6.8 on the xbox. Anyone that thinks Live is a better game than 2k6 must not watch or like real basketball that much. This post has nothing to do with your thoughts on the graphic, but I guess you guys gave the game a 7, a whole .2 points better than the xbox 2k6 review because of the graphics. Let me guess, Live will get an 8 or 8.5 even though it has less features than its xbox counter part and plays just as bad.

I have an HDTV! So, I'm getting this version. 2K6 360 for the win!

Me too. :D

But I do have to say, 2K6's current-gen gameplay plus realistic player models would rate well above 9 to me.

I don't know, I must like good basketball games or something, I'm crazy like that. :)

The fuck are you talking about. NBA 2k6 got a 9/10 on the Xbox from 1up.com.

Yeah, I just looked. 9.0

My bad. I was looking at the Avg. Scores box for 2k5. :)

Anyway, the gave it an 9, so what in the 360 version is wrong to drop the score down to a 7?

And one other thing. You guys call that a review, you said absolutely nothing about the actual gameplay. What a joke. You all play game for a living at least write a decent review.

My post might give off an angry tone, but I'm not at all, it's just a videogame.

I dunno. Perhaps you'll have to read the review.
 
its a prettier version of the game that is already out for $39.99 on the xbox.. The game is old news, despite its graphics as the gameplay isn't any different. If there was only a 360 version, of course it would have gotten a better score. It is essentially a late port with a graphical upgrade that costs $20 more than the original, I think a 7 is justified in this case

You can pretty much say that about every sports game that is release. And what will you say if Live gets an 8 or higher with less features and busted gameplay.

So what you're saying is...

Live: Worth the $60 because of graphics. Live isn't a port since it has near none of the features the current gen Live does!

NBA 2K6: OMG every feature we expect from a b-ball game is here, and has the best gameplay of any b-ball series... I WON'T STAND FOR THAT! The gameplay and features are already found in this gen's version, so it is just a crap port! The graphics also aren't quite as good. No buy! Waste of $60!
