Basketball has always been a highflying fast paced, fun to watch and even more fun to play sport. It has a way of energising you whether you are sitting back and watching your favourite team light up the court or out in the driveway driving the paint with the buddies. Basketball is the ultimate sport. The NBA has one of the best marketing team of the big sports. They simply understand that the fans just want to be like Mike. The have made the stars of the game household names. We can go back and recall the stars of each generation and know whom their most fierce competitor was. Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird, Michel Jordan vs. the entire NBA, Reggie Miller vs. the New York Knicks and who can forget Shack vs. Kobe, oh yeah they played on the same team at the time of the rivalry. In NBA Live we can be anybody we want. We can rush down the court as Jason Kidd and dish an ally op to Vince Carter who does a highflying Tomahawk Dunk, or look down court for the likes of Chris Bosh of the Raptors who is down low and hit him with a no look pass for an easy lay up. You can always count on NBA Live for the same real life game experience.

15 games are coming to Xbox One in its first year, and 8 of them are exclusive to the Xbox One platform. Of course, there are many more in the works.
Come one, come all (unless you are Friend #1001)!
While it’s unlikely that most people will be able to afford TWO Xbox One consoles at launch, the possibility of starting a game on one console, pausing and then moving to another console to continue playing it will be possible, thanks to "The Cloud".
It also can read your heart rate and your emotions, see your body in high definition (even your fingers) and even recognize you based on voice alone, among other cool things. The potential of Kinect-enhanced gaming just got real.
