Pretty nyce. . .I'm sure EA is trying to show IGN that this year's game means business

Sounds like they saw a similar presentation to the one I was shown during the conference call. Anyway, thanks for the heads up.

Please justify the hype..

[Andrew]

I wouldn't say there's a whole lot of hype at the moment, though a focus on gameplay and the lack of another new innovation concerning control methods is something I'm sure most of us are happy to hear.

[Sauru]

dear god let it be true. it was a dumb idea from the start. also enjoy the fact that they wont seperate the dunk and layup button anymore, maybe we can get a post up button again

"We only saw Live 08 in action for 15 minutes, but it's clear EA has a chip on its shoulder..."

I hope that's true.

We recently visited EA Canada in Vancouver and got our eyes on NBA Live 08 and came away impressed. Not by the game -- it's too early for that. But the EA cafeteria is awesome. Very impressive.

Ullrich zoomed in on Kobe Bryant and he looked just like his Eagle County mug shot

Maybe EA used the same pic.

Freestyle Superstars is still in there, but they're not adding any new control related innovations this year. They actually mentioned removing some of the less realistic moves though, particularly when it comes to the High Flyer dunks.
