New NBA Live 08 video @ gametrailers 9/12/07

Nice find... This is one of the best videos yet. I think it looks pretty amazing and the announcer makes it sound as if most of the bugs are fixed. However, this is all irrelevant, because I don't own and will never own an XBOX360. Good video though...

Very nice video! Too bad we won't have that game in PC version..

sounds like all the issue from the demo have been fixed and defense is good he states. I havent been able to play d in the demo

Nice. It looks very good and I like how he says that most of the small problems can be fixed by ship day....very encouraging.

I'm still not sold on buying it though, but I might just to play around with it on and off. . .The gameplay still has it's issues. EA is on the right track for sure, I still think they need another year or two to actually make a GREAT game.

Another thing I wonder what problems they are talking about!! Probably AI issues cause I think they are done with gameplay and player movement

It looks really good to me, I wish this version came out for the PC

I wonder what the game speed is like (on default). I would hope that it is realistic. Looking great though.

Again, another great NBA Live preview from Gametrailers. The gameplay and graphics look much more cleaner than NBA Live 07. Man, I should get a next-gen console, but I'm not in a rush.

It looks very good, but most of all fun to play.

Dunk animations are very hit and miss. The bad ones are real bad. Haslem and Lebron seem both do a straight forward 2 handed dunk where they start on one side of the ring, go straight up, but somehow end up rotated to the other side of the ring. At least they are somewhat smooth though.

The alley oops look bad and good. The catch and dunk animation looks good, but the passes come from nowhere. They get thrown up REAL dang high into a crowd of players who are all unaware that the ball is there until the receiver decides to rise up (previously not looking at the ball, or running in a suitable direction).

At least the dunks this year are all realistic. Last years next gen dunks I saw had heaps of round the back dunk, even through the leg dunks which looked not only unrealistic, but CRAPOLA.

Other than that little rant about dunks, the general animations look great. Dribbling, defending, posting. I hope there is enough variation in the post fake-shot animations, as I have seen the same one that Oden does several times, with not much variation. It also looks as though Odens shot after the fake will go behind the backboard. A large problem in previous versions.

So, good and bad.

Thanks for the heads up.

Good to hear that they will still being fixes before the final release!

i'm deffinately buying on release day....not that i think it will be great, but it looks good enough

Great video, release less than a month away! Can't wait.

Looks good, but don't really be fooled!!! EA still has TONS of improving to do!! I don't kknow what they are gonna fix before the release, but I doubt it will involve gameplay. . .Maybe some AI issues hopefully

they are gonna probably fix some of the dunking packs of some guys and maybe AI features. Don't think they are gonna change anything gameplay wise.

i think the demo doesn't have the defensive controls yet, though. There is no analog stick defense. you can't swat the ball away witht he analog stick. you can only use the steal button. The analog stick does a charge/flop move.

all in all it looks pretty damn good to me. the demo plays great aside from some small factors. I dont throw alley oops often anyways so im not bothered much witht he bad timing etc.
