In NBA Live 07, players can try their luck at every aspect of professional basketball. "Dynasty" mode promotes players to GM status, and they must manage their team from the first game of the season to the finals. Gamers will scout promising players, initiate trades, and investigate rumors to keep their team running smoothly. Players can emulate basketball legends by re-creating their moves in the "Superstar Challenge," and with total freestyle control, players may change skill attributes on the fly by switching through a variety of moves. Gamers have a total of 24 performances to mimic successfully, and over 100 moves to experiment with. Accessing the Media Center through the Internet earns a player updates every 20 minutes for scores, breaking news, video footage, and even radio content like The Dan Patrick Show and Mike and Mike in the Morning. Also accessible through the Internet is the "All Star Weekend" that includes such games as a slam-dunk contest, a rookie challenge, and a three-point shootout. Calling the action throughout the game is legendary announcer Marv Albert and former player for the Chicago Bulls, Steve Karr.
