NBA Live 07


Say it isn't so - EA commits a flagrant foul with an underwhelming embarrassment of an effort

The final nail in the coffin is the online play - it's an unplayable mess that actually hurts your eyes. The framerate drops like a brick, disconnections are frequent, and nothing short of Xanax will let you enjoy yourself out there on Live. Toss in the fact that there are no leagues or in-depth stat tracking (assuming a patch would make basic gameplay work) and you're stuck with a clunker every which way but loose.

If you're mulling over a b-ball game for your 360 this fall, the only direction to look is away from NBA Live 07. It's a disaster from the word go, and never should have made it out of training camp.
