The GameDaily One-Minute Review

NBA Live 07 is better than its predecessor. EA sped up the gameplay, tossed in some additional animations, and delivered true sports content to the masses, an ESPN-powered feed that provides players with news, video, scores, and more. But some of the old, nagging problems remain. The game is fun to play, but the action still feels a bit slow, and while the music is exceptional, the rest of Live lacks passion. The players don't exhibit many emotions, the crowd only seems to care about 3-point shots, and the commentary is sometimes nonexistent for several moments. Still, NBA Live 07 is a pretty decent basketball game. That is, if you can deal with being unable to shoot while double teamed and character models that look nothing like their real-life counterparts. If you're cool with such mediocrity, then this one's for you.
