Shaq is spot on.

those screens look damn awesome, but the ball almost looks fuzzy

[dafunk]

im playing the demo right now

[king2k]

Even the pre-rendered Live screens don't compare to these real in game screens of 2k. How can anyone with average eye sight say that Live's graphics are better than 2k? The ball in Live are much better, but that's it, and you only notice the ball when you shoot a freethrow. So we win.

In 2k8, it will give you the ability to change the controls and have the right stick strictly for dribble moves and still move with the left stick, etc.

Now where the hell you heard that from? Rightstick is shotstick, and that can't change.

When I played the Live the demo, the dribble controls were unfamiliar, so I hard a time doing crossovers just like you guys are having a hard time doing dribbles with 2k, because you're not familiar with it.

[J@3]

Who is "we"? Are you part of the 2K production team?

[The Other Kevin]

He's younger than me, and I'm 14. Could still be possible though, I hear 2K's been outsourcing to Bangladesh. Better programers than EA, still.

Hmmm I don't know, maybe...... the producer of NBA 2k8!

Let me be a bit more specific, you can use the shot stick as for shooting, but you can also change the controls so the right stick is for dribbling moves (helps the users such as Live Users take advantage of this option)

Now since you claim youself as "we" when talking about 2k8, how do you not know this?

Nevermind kid, "we the 2k Family?" and you still don't know about the option to perform dribble moves with right stick.

Search is yourself, I'm not gonna go around getting it for you!

[shobe81]

Alright kid here is the source:

in the controller config menu, you can change your RSTICK to be dribble moves in 2k8. actually, it becomes a dual purpose stick. in this config, if you hold down LT, the RSTICK goes back to being the shot stick. kinda nice for you right-thumbed gamers.

and yeah, you can map it to be a pass stick too. same as above.

have a nice day.

That was by Beluba aka Mike Wang (lead gameplay designer) who posted this on OP (operations sports)

Now if you still don't believe me, mr. "we the 2k family" then I don't know what more to say to you.

[SHAFT23]

this is great news for me personally who doesnt feel comfortable witht he shotstick and the dribblingmoves in default.

im a live gamer so ill be getting 2k8 if this is true

[jonthefon]

I love the shot stick, it feels smooth to use it. Isomotion is pretty comfortable as well. Pity current-gen NBA 2K is inferior to next-gen.

If you're such a "development king", king2k, mind disclosing any possible info about current-gen 2k? Or have they moved beyong that?

Once again - is that anything like the Manson Family?

What do you need to know about current gen? There will be updated rosters and maybe a few more sig jump shots...

[jonthefon]

Well, then it's another year of nothing for me in terms of b'ball games...

*Fires up Live 2005 again*

[Scotty]

Anyone know if it's region coded? I really need to know, cause it comes out on the 26th here, but the 2nd in the States, i'll get it from the States if it's not region coded....

[BOSS]

Those graphics look slick.

[Andreas Dahl]

PS3 games are never region coded. Don't know if you use that or the 360 though..

Yeah i know, most 360 games are though including 2k7, so im 99% sure it will be, but hopefully i can find a PAL version to buy online...

So nba 2k8 will not be region coded? So if I buy 2k8 in North America, can I play it on a ps3 say from China?
