Fans of basketball are given the chance to virtually rub shoulders with their heroes by playing NBA Live. This is being hailed as one of the most detailed and exciting basketball games around and has already won the hearts of fans the world over.

It?s all About the Hoops

There is much more to NBA Live than simply playing a game of basketball. All of the intricate elements of the game are represented including the influence of the coaches who can be seen standing at the side of the court during the actual game. the game controls are easy to get to grips with and making the players do exactly what you want is much easier than with other games of this type. However in some cases it can feel like things are a little too smooth and the odds are stacked in the favour of gamers and while this can be fun at first ultimately it detracts from the realism of the game.

Reaching New Heights

In terms of cool features and playability NBA Live is a real winner. Gamers are sure to love the chance to manipulate some of their favourite NBA players and watch them work their magic on the basketball court. However the often jerky moves and the fact that gamers always seem to be ahead can detract from the realistic feel of the game to some extent.
