Pros: Great graphicsDynasty mode w/ Fantasy Draft Cons: Gameplay lacking fluidityUnrealistic player decision makingAudio skips The Bottom Line: I do not recommend buying this game. The gameplay has too many glitches and is not nearly as fluid as other basketball games. Review: The NBA Live Series one of the leading National Basketball Association simulations on the market. However NBA Live 08 has many flaws making it underserving of that title. from Shopping.com However, it takes up to 2-mins to load and by the time it loads, I dont feel like playing it anymore. Having said that, I sold it just after a week. I used to play NBA 2K and I thought NBA Live was better. With the slow loading time, I'm going back to NBA 2K. from Amazon.com Both offer unique styles of gaming. Seeing no review of this game made me write a brief one. NBA Live 08 is a great game. I would consider it the first next-gen basketball title to date. from Amazon.com NBA 2008 is a great game, don't get me wrong, but I am sorry, you just cannot match up to NBA 2K8. The graphics and the gameplay are better on 2K8. from Amazon.com quite simply the reason why I had to purchase a Xbox 360... yes it's true, after playing this at my buddies house, I had to go out and buy the console as well as the game the next day... I, like many, have been extremely disappointed with recent EA NBA live editions for a couple years now, so I wasn't expecting to much from this one... boy was I amazed by the change of graphics and realism that was implemented into the game!! from Amazon.com is nothing new but still works really well. - The CPU will still violate your personal space when you are trying to maneuver, making it hard to get past them unless you can blow by them before they get to you. As far as the Pro-Hop feature, or whatever it's called, it doesn't seem to work for me. I've coughed up the ball each time I've done it. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com Man i was almost fooled in to geting the cartoony, NBA2K! Live is just much better. from Amazon.com After quite a few years of dissapointing releases the NBA Live series has done itself proud with NBA 2008. The biggest improvement being the realistic games play, and the shotting, passing and all-round movement graphics. from Amazon.com
