these are the new features at gamespot

Key Features


All-New Quickstrike Ballhandling—Whether you're pushing the ball upcourt or backing down a defender inside, quicker, more responsive ball-handling moves allow you to break down opponents and take complete control of your game with the right analog stick.

Own the Paint—Put the ball in the hands of your big men and go head-to-head in the lane. With all-new moves and counters, including pump fakes, drop-steps, and spins, post play has never been better.

See Who's Hot and Who's Not—Using actual NBA shot tracking data, know who to feed and who to defend based on a shooter's Hot Spots, an all-new on-screen overlay showing you exactly where a player is most dangerous.

Dominate with Your Go-To Move—Every player has a go-to move that they consistently go to when the game is on the line. Now the signature go-to moves of the NBA's best players have been realistically re-created to help you score when it counts. That patented step back jumper? A fadeaway with the big leg kick? If it's in the game, it's in the game.

A New Look and Feel—5-on-5 gameplay has never looked so good. Featuring enhanced player spacing and behavior logic in the half-court, upgraded passing and rebounding mechanics, and an all-new two player interaction engine.

All-New Shooting Mechanics—From deep three-point shots well beyond the arc to 10-foot jumps shots in the paint, every shot attempt has been redesigned to provide more fluid, realistic results. Dunks and lay-ups are now assigned to the same button command making highlight reel plays even easier to perform.

The NBA Goes Live—Player faces, team uniforms, and authentic arenas jump to life behind the power of next-generation game graphics. Whether you're working on your game in the revamped practice gym or playing in front of a packed house, feel what it's like to be an NBA superstar.
Like Butter – Running at a smooth 60 frames per second, NBA LIVE 08 is as close as you can get to the court, without dropping dime for courtside seats.

to be extremely honest....i really do think these features are STANDARDS for the game...not some sort of extra feature..this is what we rightfully deserve as consumers. but guess they thought it wasn't for 07..lol
anyways...all this seems nice, but i feel something is missing...just not sure what it is..soory just felt like putting it out there

probably not a lot of new dynasty features any way!!!

[Sauru]

cant believe how bad dynasty is in live compared to how good it could be. though andrew sounded a bit excited about it, cant wait to read his write up. i thought we might have it by now but guess not.

[Andrew]

Sorry, still can't post it but I still like what I saw.

Every bit of "news" about NBA Live 08, including community day reports, is nothing but marketing product phrases like "all new own the paint."

Is the PG domination fixed?

Do subs work?

Does player lock keep losing lock?

[cheater1034]

Don't worry, I can't imagine subs don't work, and I can't imagine pg domination isn't fixed.

They knew about these problems, everyone knew about these problems, and besides (weren't those problems only on current gen? I thought next gen had other problems), EA isnt talking about current gen so I guess we'll never know.

But they already fixed subs, and I cant imagine PG domination isnt fixed, that's probably the only thing they're going to do to the current gen besides updating the roster.

You've asked this before and I explained it then. Those are issues concerning the Current Gen version which was not on display at the Community Event. I can't exactly give hands-on impressions of something I didn't get my hands on. As yet, I haven't been handed any information on the PC version. As soon as it's made available to me I'll post it.

Its ok andrew we wont tell, you can tell us about dynasty

[Sauru]

my opinion is, if andrew tells, he will never be invited again, and possibly some other bad things. i rather have andrew go there yearly as i trust his reports more than most than just 1 year of early info(i know you were joking btw).

[Andrew]

That's pretty much the deal.
