Shame there wasn't any screenshots of how the menu will look. NBA 2K5 had ESPN integration and it was really cool. I've got an xBox360 and I love playin NBA 2K6 it is literally miles and miles better than NBA Live 06 but is much trickier to get the hang of.

I'll be buying Live 07 when it comes out just cos u have to really, but its gonna need to be a whole lot better than Live 06 cos the next gen version was seriously weak on the ground and had barely anything goin on with it.

That was cool thanks Tobi, it was cool to see the pics of him doin all the motion capture. Such a quality player, it would've been a total travesty if he'd not won MIP last season!

Diaw says he hopes Nash won't get his hair cut and then .... Nash gets his head shaved. Hmm. Diaw is a great player, best signing of last season, lets hopes Banks is just as good.

Yeah I saw that and laughed too Furnish, he looks really weird with his head shaved but I do prefer it. Boris is awesome and is such a potent attacking force in the paint with his speed and the way he turns so well away from the slower big men. What I love is that he is capable of playin ANY of the 5 spots on the floor and do them all well, now that is versatility for ya!

Legend! Lets just hope we re-sign him next season without too much trouble. I reckon Banks could be a sweet move for us and I've always liked his skills, he has undoubted potential and with him at the 1 and LB at the 2 we'd have the fastest back court in the league and thats both our back-ups!

What's T-Mac doing on the cover...

Not that he doesn't deserve to be on it, at some point.

Forget the days of pressing a button. With the new tilt controller, you actually shoot the ball. That's right, grab a PS2 controller and practice your stroke right now. Hold the controller with one hand in the middle, bring it up to your head, pause, then act like you're shooting the ball, complete with follow through. Instructions on the screen will rate your performance, tell you if you're too fast, too slow, or if you're pushing the controller to the right or left. Meanwhile, your opponent can pull the triggers to make your hands vibrate, making life more difficult as your polygonal player steps to the line.

That's bollocks. Complete with follow-through? So i let it roll off the end of my fingertips launching the contoller at my tv? Sounds like a bollocksy gimmick.

I'd even prefer the Live 06 freethrow control over that. And that's saying something. :lol:

Don't think i'll be buying any NBA games this year, unless it's one of the best ones to come out over the past 5 years. They always fuck something up in 'em.

Hello, i would just like to say I am very excited about the new season and hopeful San Antonio can go all the way to the Finals this year. :)

The first game will be on in the early hours of Wednesday the 1st of November between Chicago Bulls @ Miami Heat which I think will be a very good game.It will see Shaq take on Big Ben which will be a good battle between the two big centers . You can watch this game on Channel 5 at 00:50 i think.

And Brandon Roy for ROY.

I love Miami and I can't believe they won the championship. I started following them when Zo went there because he was my favourite player. They never quite there with the Hardaway Zo partnership and then Zo got kidney disease and they weren't goin too good for a few seasons. Zo left but I still followed them and they drafted Wade out of nowhere and he is an absolute star so much like Jordan. THen Riley pulls off a coup getting SHaq out of his feud with Kobe and they have a championship team in the making. Zo comes back and to put the icing on the cake wins the championship he deserves so much.
