LIVE is Back!!!!
I can honestly say for the past few seasons NBA live has been outdone, outperformed and outclassed by a superior title in 2K. EA seemed to focus more on gimmics like SUPERSTAR and ALLSTAR player moves and things like that, and less focused on providing an authentic NBA basketball experience. Well this year, I think someone got the message. LIVE 08 did a wonderful job of making more of a simulation game. The player models are very good (most look IDENTICAL to the actual character) the game runs at a smooth 60 fps. Jumpshots are detailed to the player and not generic, and the total control dribble system allows you to create hundreds of crossover/spin combinations. New to this year's version are the GO-TO moves, in which your favorite players unique shots and abilities are replicated flawlessly. Tony Parker's teardrop floater, D. Wade's stepback J, you name it. Not to mention a revamped post game that looks like Kevin McHale motion captured himself. (He had 1000+ moves in the post.) The All-Star weekend is back and revamped in better detail, and ESPN access is at your fingertips all the time. I do wish the game was in 1080p as the egdes on the players are a little rough, and in the dunk contest the player sometimes dunks next to the rim and not in it. (Rare) The 3 point shootout is VERY difficult on the superstar level too. The gameplay over all is AWESOME. The games are fluid, the AI is challenging, and you really get into the game. Look out 2K this year EA has stepped it up!!!

Extremely good game
This game is very good, the gameplay is getting better and better for the ps3 and they have so many things to do in this game including the slam dunk contest, 3 point shootout, and also the FIFA world championship. The one thing i wish they would add is the skills challenge

Best NBA LIVE ever made . . .
Every little quirk about previous NBA Live editions that I have hated in the past, have been dramatically improved on this 2008 PS3 edition. I love the improvements that were made to franchise mode: now gives you the option of simulating coach hiring, scouting etc. no more waiting period for potential trades, allows you to use selling points of your team, city etc. to negotiate with free agents, now offers a mid-level exception to free agents . . . you when trying to make trades, you don't have to wait 3 days. you don't have to do the math to see if you are within an acceptable trade range between mutiple players (it does the math for you and gives you a green light when in range). I love the game play on the PS3 . . . player movements, versatility with the remote, accuracy of stat updates while in-game. The look/feel/view is amazing . . . it feels like I'm watching an actual NBA game on TV!
