"October 2, 2006 - Last year, if 360 owners were looking to step into the next generation of basketball play, they weren't doing it with NBA Live. Without a Dynasty Mode, All-Star Weekend or Superstar moves, the game was more like a shiny demo instead of a full court experience. This year, NBA Live 07 for the 360 tries to make amends by restoring everything that last year's game lacked: a full-fledged Dynasty mode, the All-Star Weekend that PS2 and Xbox owners have become accustomed to, and introduces Freestyle Superstar Controls to the game for the first time. Unfortunately, while they pumped in additional modes, the gameplay and the basic mechanics of the sport itself are still extremely flawed. As a result, Live 07 is a game that really should be riding the bench instead of starting this year.

Welcome to the GM's Office
The Dynasty mode actually comes to the 360 this year with a larger focus on the draft, team dynamics and scheduling. Players can now choose to relive the 2006 NBA draft and pick their favorite rookies to help build the future of their team. Along with the standard assistants, scouts and trainers, you'll also need to hire a new assistant head coach to schedule team events such as practices or press days as well as check up on potential rumors that may be used to your advantage. These can range from players potentially being traded to highly skilled coaches and staff members looking for new organizations to become part of. As you progress through the season, you'll need to continually check in with these guys to see how well your squad is progressing, as well as what the team's particular chemistry is. Team Chemistry is important because the play of your team is affected by how high or low your rating is. The lower the rating, the harder it is for a team to mount a comeback during a big game."
