- Better than i thought
i have this game for playstation 3 so i bought it as a present for a friend of mines who owns a 360....i use to constantly read forums who claimes that the game was crap. My advice is to play it for yourself and find out.....no matter how i try i cant put the game down. i love the go to moves....anyway...you wont be disappointed it is a better game that people is giving it credit for.

I am one of the many former Live fans, Live 95 being one of the best and funnest games of the series, but with recent iterations of the game being lackluster I have moved onto to greener pastures, also known as the NBA 2K series. So when I saw that Live 08 had made some big improvements over the disaster that was Live 07, I figured why not give it a chance. While this game is significantly better than Live 07, it still isn't that great a basketball sim. Certain animations seem to be missing making the game seem not as fluid as you would hope especially from a game running at 60 frames per second. Dunk animations in particular are just not right. Guys can go from running or standing still to a dunk in a very quick leap, essentially making the shot unblockable. At best when someone dunks it's either a foul or a dunk. Blocking the dunk is definitely not an option even with some of the best shotblockers in the league. Also jumpshot animations really have no rhythm so it does not feel very fluid when shooting a jump shot. Watching the game also isn't that fun. The way players move on the floor has a wonky feel to it, not like watching a real game. All in all I'd have to stay skip this Live and pick up 2K8. Even though 2K has its flaws, one being a terrible roster glitch that screws up all player match ups on defense, it is still a far better gameplay experience than Live. While I was hoping Live would hit its stride next year, I think we'll have to wait for NBA Live 2010 before this game is relevant again.

- Great game, but not quite a slam dunk!
Every year, it's the same debate. Should I get the newest incarnation of NBA Live with all it's promises of better gameplay than the year before or should I stick with the reliable, yet bland 2k series? Well this year, I actually find myself playing NBA Live 08 more than I do NBA 2k8. That's not a knock to 2k8, but I find Live 08 to be a more straight-forward basketball experience. There are no crazy gimmicks that detract from the gameplay.

So what's new this year? Everything. The game has been completely rebuilt from the ground up with gameplay being the biggest improvement. Low post players can now dominate the paint with a variety of offensive moves (spins, hook shots, pump fakes, etc.) Cross-overs and juke moves using the right thumbstick are more fluid and realistic and new signature moves are also a nice addition. For instance, while holding the right trigger and pushing either the dunk or shoot button, your superstar will pull off a power move only unique to him that increases the chances of having the shot go in. There's even a nice video tutorial during the shoot around session at the main menu which shows each superstar's primary signature move.

The graphics have been given a complete overhaul and surprisingly, I found that the player models in Live 08 were much better than the ones in 2k8. Facial modeling is superb and dead on. EA really went out of their way to create eaThe courts look accurate and are cleanly rendered. The crowds are also very nice and don't resemble spray-painted card board boxes as they do in other sports titles.

Despite the vast improvement in this year's game as opposed to the year before, there are still a couple of glaring problems that are downright maddening. The worst is the ridiculous loading times before a game. I once clocked it at four minutes. Online games are not much better.

The A.I. substitutions can also be a little loopy as point guards will occasionally be substituted for centers. Point blank shots near the rim tend to clang off the metal and there are instances where a player with the ball will be standing clearly out of bounds and nothing is called.

Despite these bugs, I still enjoy playing Live 08. It's not much better than 2k8, but I appreciate the fluidity of the controls and the excellent visuals and player models. Good job, EA.

Man i was almost fooled in to geting the cartoony, NBA2K! Live is just much better. I've been a live fan for yrs, and yes last years version sucked. But i think EA got there head out of their azz, and took thier time on this game. The game play is so much better, the controls are not like your playing a fighting game(combos) Its striaght forward! So if you were a live fan since the 90s, you can rest assure this is far better then the SEGA game. Only prob is which one to get ti on PS3-XBOX360?

Three stars may be generous for the game. There is really only one way to consistently score: take the ball right to the hoop while using the "juke" moves. Short range jump shots don't work. Post-up game: forget it. Anything resembling a real basketball game: forget it. But if you do take the ball to the hoop and use the juke moves and you have one of the star players it is unstoppable. Play LeBron: he'llo score every time. If you like a pure arcade-style game then you might like this one.
