Another dissapointing,unrealistic Live from EA.

User Rating: 3.5 | NBA Live 08 PS2
By cloudff7cld | Review Date:
Well,this game is basically NBA Live as I've come to expect since 2002- in other words an unrealistic arcade-style game that has only a passing resemblance to what I watch on television.It resembles And1 streetball much more.You can't play anything resembling defense;far too many blocks;your teammates just stand around like idiots watching whoever has the ball,only play that makes anything happen is pick and roll.They also stand and watch on rebound chances as the ball hits the floor in front of them then bounces right to the other team.This game has a poor basketball AI and too arcadey unrealistic gameplay.EA hasn't made a good Live since 2000/2001 which was by far their best engine and most realistic.Bottom line Live is not good-buy NBA 2k.
