painful disappointment

User Rating: 6.5 | NBA Live 08 PSP
wow... this really feels like a light weight game. The game play itself seems to be a bit in the 06 serious:

The good: Toned down stars\ players
There's basically 3 ranks of players based on skills regular star and super star, star and super star players have whats called "go to moves" which aren't really any less likely to be blocked of picked of,than any regular player move. The only real benefit is the fact that you'll get an almost guaranteed quick score when executed correctly (that is if your not hacked frist}.The fact the the superstar and star moves have to be timed it actually gives the game a more realistic felling to it as aposed to executing an unstoppable high flyer from anywhere on the floor. 30 ft" floater

The Crown
before i actually bought the game I'd herd or the "Amazing Crown"....not so amazing trust me . the fact that EA tried to do SOMETHINg innovative and new i give them two thumbs up. But the crown is just a stat tracker the sets goals ,it's just a gimmick to enhance the over all replay value of the game.

The bad
sound track.......I wont even say....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz
annoying bug: in dynasty mode dont expect to see any of your young rookies faces, because around the 3rd to 4th season the sides of all new CPU created player faces tend to ....glitch {ps: cld just be my game}
game play: EA tried but this still feels a bit to arcade like. almost uncompetitive. The only separation between all star and rookie mode is in all star passes get picked of ...in a nut shell the CPU sliders\abilities are up and yours aren't }
mini games: nothing grate just ok games {there's only two...makes you kinda yarn and wipe the dust off that NBA 07 }
over all its not a bad game it just falls short of whats expected of a "NBA live" game excspecially one with agent zeros face on it.

note: am a live fan and am a bit dissapointed especially after hearing the there's no plans on releasing a roster update on the psp version
