Video Game Reviews of NBA Live 08
Customer Review: Could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
Major flaw: Collision detection.
For whatever reason, EA has never really gotten the whole collision detection thing with it's NBA Live series. Players tend to slip and slide around each other and there is no real sense that playing defense is even remotely possible. I don't know how many times I've played this game online and watched someone dominate on the inside with a mediocre-at-best big man. It's so frustrating!!
With that being said...if you're looking for a run and gun, fast break basketball game...this is your game! It is fun to just cut loose and see how many points you can score. But if you are partial to fundamental, team basketball...this might be a bit of a disappointment.
Description of NBA Live 08
Providing an unrivaled level of authenticity, NBA LIVE 08 introduces hot spots, using real NBA shot data to illuminate the locations on the floor where your players are most effective. Couple this with all-new signature go-to moves that capture the essence of the NBA's best, and you can now play the game on a console like you see it from the stands. All-new shooting mechanics - from deep three-point shots well beyond the arc to 10-foot jump shots in the paint, every shot attempt has been redesigned to provide more fluid, realistic results. Dunks and lay-ups are now assigned to the same butto command making highlight reel plays even easier to perform. Running at a smooth 60 frames per second, NBA LIVE 08 is as close as you can get to the court, without dropping a dime for courtside seats. Player faces, team uniforms, and authentic arenas jump to life behind the power of next-generation game graphics. Whether you're working on your game in the revamped practice gym, or playing in front of a packed house, feel what it's like to be an NBA superstar. ESRB Rated E for EveryoneAll Games
