    The core game remains unchanged, the AI still quirky, the music ace, and the commentary surprisingly intricate and relevant. [Dec 2006, p.101]

    It's still one of the best basketball sims available, just don't expect much beyond recycled goods. [Dec 2006, p.85]

    A severe disappointment to fans of the genre. While EA has added many of the features that were missing from last year’s offering, there are still too many issues that need to be ironed out, including the animations, the flow, the online gameplay, and the challenge.

    If you're desperate to dunk on a desktop, a patched version of Live 07 likely won't offend your senses to the core, but you can do better on just about any other platform.

    NBA Live 07 isn't much different from last year's game, and the numerous bugs and glitches make it not much fun to play.

    It may be time for EA Sports to do what it did with its old "Triple Play" series: Scrap the whole thing and start over. [Jan. 2007. p.67]

    While not perfect, it's actually a fun basketball game and IMHO better than last year. There's a defensive game now, rebounding is While not perfect, it's actually a fun basketball game and IMHO better than last year. There's a defensive game now, rebounding is much better, and the game pace feels good. And unlike some of the reviews here, I don't see any of these overhyped crashes or bugs.… Expand

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! The game crashes on almost every occassion and there are numerous bugs within the game which can blow your mind, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! The game crashes on almost every occassion and there are numerous bugs within the game which can blow your mind, leaving you to wonder how did EA ever even let this game out in the stores. Its impossible to play the game without constant anger and dissappointment. Obviously they never did any kind of testing, and you can tell they have no respect whatsoever to their customers. It is said that there will be a bug fix, but whatever they come up with, EA cannot be trusted any more. They have lost their touch and also their customers who has been loyal to them. It seems each year NBA LIVE is getting worse, and this years version is by far the worst of them all. For years and years EA has done nothing to listen to their customers and finally have totally let them down. Again, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! There is no hope, NBA LIVE is just not worth it anymore. SAVE YOUR BUCKS!… Expand

They can't be serious about the crashing? Surely EA would have patched the game almost immediately?". Well I have been disabused of my baseless faith in the games/software industry. It's now almost 2008, I bought the game a month ago, and the patch that everyone has been screaming for has never come. I would almost go as far as saying that this game is a fraud.… Expand
