This is ok game but seriously, this game has some issues.
The bad things about this game is that there is no defense on certain players, and when you try to make close shots or layups you miss them most of the time. You will sometimes miss easy shots. Come on if I miss one from down town, no big deal, but like standing 3 inches away from the rim??? But other than that the game play is good. The graphics are good and the sound is. I like NBA Live 08. The game will also show you where you players hotspots are
which is helpful. The arenas have working scoreboards and a lot of excited fans. The game has some pretty good controls and the controls are very responsive but when making layups or very close shots is sometimes a pain in the butt and not much has improved on this game since the Past series. This basketball this isn't the best basket ball game but good.
This isn't the greatest basketball Game I have ever had.2k8 might be a little better. The game is fun and all but has some issues. NBA live 08 has 'Rent Me first' written all over it. NBA live 08 is a game you should rent first before you buy and right now the price is worth buying it for... if you really like the game. You can also download the demo at the playstation store.
