NBA 2k8 Preview Thread

[cyanide]

I really like how dynamic or variable players are rather than trading chips. My only concern are personality types. So basically if I have Ray Allen, Grant Hill, and Tim Duncan on the same team, they're not going to gel together because they're all laid-back and therefore, lazy? I hope this doesn't become a drawback where seeking personality types rather than players become more of an objective.

Looks fairly nice. This will definitely be much better than Live 08, but you are making it out to be like the best game ever or something. Far from perfect though, there are some crazy glitches like Jason Williams passing through people...

Why the smiley after every post? I read nothing funny in that article.

I dont know about you guys, but i reckon they look pretty sweet
and king2k, what's your username on mixmakers? Cause when ever something gets posted on there, you suddenly post it here

[king2k]

You can't say that a sports game will ever be the best game, because you can't compare sports games with a shooting game, right? But it probably will be the best sports game ever.

What the is this mixmakers you talking about? I get my source directly from the 2kforums.

Wade was open when Jason william passed the ball to him, that was a not necessary a smart play since time was up, but a logical play nonetheless.

This game looks NUTS. . They REALLY improved the graphics in this game

About time they added something, Association Mode is pretty crap....let's hope it's fresh & actually works....

Looks pretty amazing...until they start running and dribbling. Still looks like they're sliding on the court to me

[Scotty]

Pretty average quality imo...
But alot of Nuggz screens, so im happy...

I really hope they make a commentary overhaul in the next couple of years. It does start to grate on the nerves very early on.

Ghost Rekon?

EDIT: On topic - for god's sake fix the faces, 2k - Carmelo looks like Camby with a headband and cornrows.

[ZiGGeN]

Does NBA Live players have facial expressions, like 2k?

[cyanide]

I don't have time to nitpick little graphic details when I'll be playing the game from this distance:



Add motion to that freeze frame, and do you really think a 1mm difference in Chris Paul's nose size is going to determine how good a game is? As benji said: buncha graphic whores.

finally some real full-court gameplay shots...

doesn't look that much better than 2k7. faces look a little better though. Live still owns in that department.

combining all the 2k8 threads. we don't need a new thread for every new screenshot release.
