Pros and Cons of Both. The New Living Translation biggest pro is that it encourages Bible reading. Its readability is great for reading through the Bible, and even in Bible study, it brings new life and clarity to verses.
If it were indeed a new translation, one would expect the language to be a bit different than what Kenneth Taylor used in the Living Bible.
In the case of the NLT, the opinions and theology of one man, Kenneth Taylor who paraphrased the Living Bible , still holds strong sway over what the translation team suggested. Other Christians feel it is better to consult all available manuscripts and that drawing from older manuscripts that are presumably more accurate is a good thing. One important pro is that, as a literal translation, the translators were less likely to insert their own opinions or theological stance into how the verses were translated.
As a word for word translation, it is highly accurate. In places that may be difficult to understand, the ESV has footnotes explaining words, phrases, and issues with translation.
The ESV has an amazing cross-reference system, one of the best of all translations, along with a useful concordance. The team for it took the original language texts and made a fresh translation into English. The NIV also changes an active to a passive construction. So was The Living Bible. But where that version sometimes sacrificed precision for readability, the NLT has been made more accurate, without making it too forbidding.

A readable translation; uses vocabulary and language structures commonly used by the average person. Translators were involved in bringing the classic Living Bible from its status as a paraphrase to a thought-for-thought translation of Scripture.
But we will not boast of authority we do not have. Our goal is to stay within the boundaries of God's plan for us, and this plan includes our working there with you.
Clear, simple English that a child can understand, but with a mature style that adults can appreciate. We don't brag about something we don't have a right to brag about.

Furthermore, footnote usage is being used if any text has been omitted in which compromises the authenticity of the Scripture. Paraphrases Dynamic-equivalence was heavily used in this translation over Literal Formal-equivalence.
Due to many discoveries of the biblical manuscripts in the mid-nineteen century that was more ancient than the KJV. Paraphrase was employed sparingly chiefly to compensate the deficiency of the English language in the process of equivalency translation. What manuscript forms the basis of each translation?
In some cases, when consonant has been divided other than the Masoretic text they indicated in the textual footnote. Later, they consulted the earlier version such as the Dead Sea Scroll as the earlier stage of the transmission of the Hebrew text. Any significant variation from the Dead Sea scroll writings footnote is being employed.
Alexandrian texts were used in the New Testament translation. On the other hand, Septuagint and Latin Vulgate were also consulted. There were only a handful of scholars involved in this translation.
