Nba Live 08 at E3

It's a mix for me. While the AI looks to be somewhat improved. There are moments where the AI just decides to dribble the ball for a few seconds staring into empty space with their backs turned to the defender in mid post, only to pass it to another player in a worse position. The animations are down right awkward, influenced by the bony player models in baggy shorts. Dunks look beyond horrible. Some of the post shots look like they're having seizures, while the post moves are very smooth. Dribbling is half good half bad. The animations sometimes jerk around, especially during the freethrow dribbling when the hands literally jerk to no end. This makes the ball look very light as if it's an extension to the body model, and not like the players are actually dribbling the ball. Overall, it's a nice improvement to 07. But as a basketball game, I'm not impressed.

LOL. . .what's up wit the mind games!!!

by **Sauru** on Sat Jul 14, 2007 3:06 am

i was really expecting some dynasty info to come from E3 but since thats not the case now i am worried we might have to wait another month to hear anything from it. dynasty is where they will win/lose me with this game.

by **will658761** on Sat Jul 14, 2007 5:37 am

I think the people at gamespot are confused because they just put NBA 08 in the section where Live 08 should be

by **xox** on Sat Jul 14, 2007 7:12 am

I just downloaded the E3 presentations from yesterday and Live 08 looked preaty good for 360... (Y)

by **[S]Reaver** on Sat Jul 14, 2007 8:02 am

Not really Live E3 coverage, but back-door interview, I think.
