NBA Live released for iPhone

EA has released NBA Live, a fully licensed basketball game for iDevices.

NBA Live includes all 30 of the real-life NBA teams and lets you play through a full 82-game season mode or a one-off exhibition game. You control your balers using a using a virtual analogue stick. You even get to use the accelerometer to control your throw when making a free throw.

NBA Live is a premium game though, weighing in at the top gaming price point of £5.99. You do get quite a lot for your money though – the game even includes an album’s worth of hiphop tunes from the likes of Xzibit and Snoop Dogg.

We’re going to wait to play the game first-hand before coming to any conclusions, but it looks like the iPhone may have found its new top b-ball game. You can find NBA Live on the App Store now for £5.99.
