I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's not 2k8 - looks like 2k6 on 360.

The overlay is pretty nice for me.

By the looks of it I reckon its probably a 50% or so completed video just like the screens were only 50% done, the jerseys looked pretty shite too.

Its less than 2 months left, If they're only 50% done. Isn't that a bad thing??

Yes it is a bad thing. Well hopefully 2k8 is good because I haven't been a fan of EA games as of late.

That's purely speculation though. Who knows how close it is to being complete. I'm still betting on 2k8 being a better all round game then the Live equivalent. Until both games are out though, we won't know.

Haven't heard that yet. Where did you hear that?
I really hope not, but at least it would give me a reason to give Live a go this year, as well play some other games for a change.

hmm i thought it was something i read on operationsports but i cant find the thread. hmm well anyway, if there was a delay we probably would have heard about it by now.

It was just some gamesite that had the release date posted as January 1st, 2008.

This vid was shot for promo purposes, and it was a few months ago, which would mean this is a waaaay early built, even though it was leaked few weeks ago.
I'll admit, if you slow mo the action of any 2k nba games, it does not look ok, but on real time, we all know it is smooth as real................

LOL, you don't finish 50% of a game in the last 2 months of development.
The game's probably closer to 85%, they said the dunk contest was 60% done a few weeks back, they are definitely more than half way done.

Don't worry about any sliding. They werent sliding in my 2k7 and 2k devs arent going to regress on gameplay.
NBA 2k8 peeping toms.

His review from what he saw tonight.
Looks like we have another minor update coming our way. The gameplay looked quite similar to 2k7 with poor colision detection, foot work, defense and terrible pacing. I watched one of the testers run up and and down the court unabated by defenders. I was also seriously disapointed to see that rebounding the ball was just as random as before.
The speed of the game was also rediculous. No it was not so fast that the game was on fast or arcade, the pacing simply seemed off! The ball ziped around the court like a pinball and players failed to have varying speeds.
The graphics do not look great either. I was able to see the players reaction to a foul and overall the game looked just like 2k7 with slightly better graphics.
From what I saw I will just give this game a rent. Dont say I didnt warn you guys but 2k is giving us the same old this year. Looks like I will have to try nba live this year.

Can you use the quote function?
As some people have noted, a picture of a sign outfront a building isn't really "proof" of anything. I mean he's not going to ever be able to prove this as he wouldn't want to face the legal ramifications.
My uncle's brother has a sister in law, who's ex-boyfriend used to walk a dog for a guy who once talked on IRC with a guy who used to work for the IRS, who once audited a guy who lives just inside Washington, and works in BC, so this guy was out on his smoke break and he saw the Live team eating babies for lunch. Babies! Oh, and they also said they hate Live fans and purposely put bugs in because they hate us personally. Especially KevC.

i read through the 2k forum page a bit and it turns out there is a 2k testing building, exactly where the guys said it was... Here's proof:
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/sof/397913104.html
It prooves there testing 2k there, but he could have made up that he actually saw them playing...
