NBA Live 08 - PC: MAJOR BUG

I hate 2k sports for only one reason.. the dont make nba for pc... they cant?I dont think so

I actally was enjoying the game this year for once, but the game crashing after 1st quarter, and after timeouts is ridiculous, EA get ur S*it together, the only peple still supporting them 13 year olds who play console game who dont know any better.....................if 2K made NBA 2K for the PC with online play, they would make lots of money, because there wont be any competettion......cmon 2K.

Man, couple of weeks ago I sent an e-mail to the customer service and requested them to bring the NBA 2k9 or at least port NBA 2k8 to PC.

Here's my e-mail:

Subject : From a Basketball Fan - NBA2K

Hi,
I'm a real world basketball fan and basketball video gaming fan since 2000.
I'm from Turkey. Realize that I've mentioned i'm from Turkey.
I've mentioned, because many people around the world like me want only one thing from you:

Please make the NBA2K game for PC platform.

Is that really too difficult ?

Please, at least make a pc port of the game. We PC users want to play this -only in the world- great basketball game, not for its graphics, just for its great REALISTIC SIMULATION GAMEPLAY.

Please answer me if this can be or never be !

Have a great day !

........Sorry for my bad English........ "



But look how the lady from the customer service answered my request:

Did you see that ? They have no plans to release NBA 2k on PC !

But why? A big company can show its bigness with only competeing against its rivals (i mean rivalry between NBA 2k and EA sports on next-gen consoles) ! And i'm sure if 2k Sports release NBA 2K on PC, their income will largely increase !

Do you agree ?

Actually, it is quite likely that they cannot. There's a chance EA owns exclusive rights to NBA titles for the PC.

Thats a buncha crap, i guess we will never get good sports game for the pc.

Yeah, we can clearly see how EA benefits from those rights : NBA Live 08 for PC !

No, EA does not have any exclusive rights for the NBA. The NBA does not want to limit it's cash intake to one game company.

Good job reading what he wrote.

There are no plans to release NBA 2K8 on the PC.

So,EA delayed pc version one month to create that bug?

They probably thought they could fix it in a month...

I am convinced they spent almost no extra time on it. Almost all the files have dates of July 25th. (And the disc, August 17th) I would say they ported the PS2 version after it was done and let it sit until release.

the only way it doesnt crash is when you pause/esc after CPU time outs AND after quarters you pause it a couple of times before resuming.

i layed a whole game and it crashed after the final quarter, but i only paused it once then.

game itself needs a lot of patching. the cameras are horrible.

How could this have gotten by testing?

They didn't test it.

I think you all guys download the game.... removed.Don't you all point fingers on EA.... removed.I didn't read all the comments but i have a friend who bought the game no crash for him but still 2k8 is better.

Moderator edit - Please follow the forum rules, thank you.

Do not request/discuss illegal downloads (including but not limited to NBA Live CD Keys and No CD cracks)

Last year was substitution and this year is crash. Isn't it worse?

maybe easports forced to release this kind of game(LOT OF BUG) in order them to faceout this version and force us to buy nextgen console and play the console version. what do you think?

yeah like i said in the other thread, next gen consoles are the BIG thing now-a-days..so definitely it has drawn all the attention.

I've played now an astounding two games of Live 08 (haven't had time to play more) on the PC and the game has crashed once. It was while loading my Dynasty. I killed the game and started it again and it loaded up ok.

I've played through two games with 8 minute quarters and haven't seen a single game time crash yet. Plenty of time outs called and the cut scenes played. But I have a 3 month old computer...

I report no crashes due to cut scenes...

Well if they want pc gamers to play basketball on the 360 or PS3 then everyone will just get 2k instead of Live.

ive got a very temporary and annoying solution til a bug fix comes out

any time you or the comp calls a time out
or at the end of the half

keep pressing esc, "resume game"
esc, "resume game" after the time out has been called or the half is over or the quarter
keep pressing it til u see the game go back 2 the sidelines 4 u 2 play n it should be sweet

wheb u do that after that it just doesnt go 2 the bug which crashes it n goes 2 the 2nd quarter

ive played 3 games this way no probs at all, its just annoying 2 miss all the cut scenes

^Hahahahahahahaha I know what your username means

that would be so annoying to do it over and over again.

That would be bad business.

EA gotta recruit some bad-ass patchers man

I was just thinking about it!!! Let's start a campaign to convince 2k sports, to bring NBA 2k to PC!!!

Pro Evolution Soccer PC kicks major butts... is patch friendly... I'm sure a NBA 2k8 PC series would kick it too!!!


2K sports bring us NBA 2k8 to PC!!!

where's the subscription ??? ...i want to be the first to do this !!!

WE WANT NBA 2K FOR PC!!!
