[will658761]

I guess it looks okay...

[k083]

I don't see NBA Live 08 anywhere.

[Bob Monkeyson]

yeah nice find...
it looks just like live 07, the dunks, layups, movements and everything looks pretty much the same. Even the bench players don't move the way they do in next-gen...but at least they gave us something to look at

[Patr1ck]

They previewed Xbox-like shaded jerseys for the goto moves trailer and the 6 images. The ps2 gameplay videos show the same old type of jersey we get every year. Also, the lighting is much different than the gameplay videos.

There isn't much I can tell from these videos. I'm glad for the new gameplay features and hope the issues and bugs that hurt the gameplay and dynasty modes are gone. I'm not worried about the graphics, the graphics patchers can take care of that.

Finally XBOX textures???

Or AGAIN...is jut lier screenshots!

[Fluffy Taco]

they even have hotspots...

[Lagoa]

EA still a JOKE! SERIOUS!

In Screenshots...textures apears like Xbox version....

In videos...is the SAME POOR NBA Live 07 textures! Man! I dont believe!

[JaoSming]

Lagoa, Ill take c0nr4d's or Lean's jerseys over those Xbox ones anyday of the week.

Looser and your courts (and dahl's ) kick the shiz out of EA and compare to the Next Gen courts.

The CF's people create, man, simply amazing.

And some of the lighting patches along with sweat and stuff?

I am not too worried about this at all, pretty much we are getting a cleaned up version of 07, which yes, we should have gotten most of this stuff last year, but we are getting it now. And we can patch this stuff.

Yes it seems like EA is dropping the ball again, but hopefully they can give us a good enough game for PC 08 so we can continually update it and keep it fresh..so we dont have to buy pc 09

[Cool2Fool]

The graphic is set to "low" on the gameplay videos LOL!

[Fitzy]

woah whose the tall bloke to yaos left, hes almost as tall as yao is

[foxhuqi]

i cannt see the differences between 07 and 08. EA took a whole year to fool all of us.....
hotspots (in pc) means nothing....and they added sig jumpshots. How many players would have his own sig jumpshots ?......

EA let me down again and again and again and........

[Arthas86]

Once again, this forum is the key for a nice Nba live

[SHAFT23]

it's still easy to get to the hoop....it's still possible to get it to your bigman on the break and let him get an easy lay up or dunk.....i didn;t see any sig shots. they just took some freestyle moves and implemented them in the gameplay for certain players. Like arenas and pierce will do that weird double pump leaner only MJ used to do and it doesn;t even look right.

live 2005 looked like human beings....live 06 and on they looked like cartoon characters.

[deliric]

hotspots.does that mean new rating systems for shooting like on next gen?

[Vlizzle]

After what i saw....R.I.P. Nba Live Current Gen!!! R.I.P. EA Sports, LONG LIVE 2k Sports

[deliric]

termina bah ca e fain,decat de loc:))

[looser]

It looks almost the same...but i can see a better crowd....or not???

[Mexeyz]

E praf ma....

[Joker.]

Its all the same, even moves are identical to live 07...

[Vlizzle]

I't suckz ass....it's NBA 07 with NBA 08 splash screen !!

E DE CACAT, prefer sa imi i-au ps2 si sa joc 2k8

[buzzy]

Go-To moves? Are you kidding me? They just took a random dunk/shot and call it some players go-to move. Graphics and moves are identical from 07.
Nonetheless I ain't very disappointed, I thought of somthing like this.

[benji]

If you are surprised by this...you fail at cognitive thinking.

[Joker.]

Oh man... one more disappointed year in NBA live gaming.
