Will Yi Jianlian be in NBA Live 08?

Just wondering if Yi Jianlian and other new additions to teams like Jamario Moon, and Luis Scola will be in the game?

umm i think so, its still august so they could still have time to tweek the rosters

It might be too late for him/them considering last year, the roster cutoff date July 27'th.

remember Livingston was a hold out in live 05, so maybe they'll add him in like they did livingston

plus Yi will be on the China national team so it won't be hard for EA to copy/paste his entry in the dbf to the Milwaukee roster.

Yi was included in the build I played at the Community Day so I would say that he'll be in the game. Aside from being in the game by virtue of the FIBA deal I believe he's also been signed by EA Sports along with a couple of the other rookies since there was a handful of them available in the pre-Draft build.

here is a random question andrew, maybe its been asked but, are players ratings different for the fiba teams as they are for the nba teams? i would guess not but with the rule changes and all, some players are just better during fiba

Remember back in the day when the cutoff date was like September 1st?

Scola is on the Argentina team so i guess he'll be in the Rockets

They're rated on the same scale as the NBA players.
