    Improved from 07 but not enought

    It´s certain that this game is far from the disaster of Live 07, but it´s no enought, overall in terms of gameplay. Yes, the graphics are great, faces, details, sweat, all really acurate (the arenas need m... Read Full Review

    A bit of a disappointment

    I had been expecting more from this game in terms of graphics, controls, and funfactor. However the controls are a bit stiff, the graphics feel like its from NBA 2005 and the game lacks depth. You can barely make out the... Read Full Review

    Live 08 and 2K8: Both aren't that good this year. Just pick your poison!

    I got both 2K8 and Live '08. Live '08 was free because a friend of mine gave it away for some reason (hmm...I wonder why). Turns out BOTH games are OK this year. BOTH games have issues that could've been avoided. Live... Read Full Review

    Live 08 makes wonderful strides but still comes up a little short... Still can be enjoyable for you. maybe...

    Finally EA took some time out and actually worked on their basketball game this year. The result, a smooth game of b-ball that is easily the best Live in years... There's still some questionable things about the game, ... Read Full Review

    It's a big disappointment. I'm still waiting for the PC version.

    I started a quick game and it felt like playing NBA Live 95. The graphics were bad, the gameplay is lousy, and the commentary is boring. Unlike NBA 08, NBA Live 08 does not have the minigames you can play if you're tired... Read Full Review

    With Leaps and bounds the NBA Live Series makes a huge comeback!

    NBA Live 08 is by no means perfect. But has it grown and improved... absolutely! It has improved so much, that even though I love basketball, and played Live every year, with a small hiatus to 2K (During 06 I think), th... Read Full Review

    NBA LIVE 08 hits the wii is it still as good?

    Graphics: The graphics in this game are okay. But they move really smooth and fluidly. Gameplay: The gameplay is very easy to learn! The wii-mote and nunchuck movements work well for the most part. Presentation: I ... Read Full Review

    ITS GOOD!!!!!

    This is coming from a 2k fan for the last couple of years. I chose Live this year because I enjoyed playing the live demo over the 2k. Easy to learn controls and a completely overhauled free flowing engine, and key Hot S... Read Full Review
