Its early i know, and i have seen some of the same crap that REALLY sucks on nba live (defence AI on the fastbreak still looks bad). Im a huge 2k7 fan and thought that the series would blow live out of the water this year. I just saw the dunk contest and am a a little bit dissapointed. They didn't seem to do any work on the character model (if they did, too bad cause chris paul looks horrible and the animation system looks very similar. Live, despite the talk, looks.....good....the quick strike system looks better than anything ive seen in any basketball game, the character models looks fantastic (much like nba live 07), and the AI for the offence looks really tight. I hope whatever 2k comes out with is also good, but after seeing that dunk contest, im REALLY discouraged. The animations look horible, peoples feet acctually slide around more than the new live...very disturbing. I really thought that 2k was prepared to really stake their claim to best Bball sim by making new innovations in the gameplay and graphics. ANd while we haven't seen any new acctual gameplay, we can tell that the graphics arent better, and that the animation system is the same on they used on 2k5. All-pro football sucked and im worried about the aproach this company is taking.

all viewpoints are welcome

NBA Live was always the better looking game, it just lacks gameplay. If EA can get their act together, NBA Live 08 could be the best B-Ball game ever. And notice the IF.

Well graphically, the game has always shined. However, I've always found the gameplay and the franchise mode extremely frustrating and unsatisfying.

I will be honest, yes NBA Live does look better than NBA 2k8. But NBA 2k8 gameplay is why the game sells like hotcakes. If you only buy games for graphics then you should think again.

nba live always looks pretty, that's about the only good thing they have going for them. I won't lie 2ks graphics are not great but they have solid gameplay every year,it's a shame livecan't match 2k basketballs gameplay though, that's why they have been dominated by 2k basketball ever since it was released on the dreamcast

Yeah, I actually thought the gameplay for 06 on 360 was really good but they just didn't have any modes to play. Then when they added the modes on 07 the gameplay was horrible!!! I like both bball games but I do hope NBA Live gets it together because I have always enjoyed it.

I saw the vids for both and I agree that Live does look closer to the real players than 2K8. I don't remember which game vid I saw but it didn't impress me to where I simply lost hope for both titles. I played 2K7 last year and I quickly traded that game away.

yea...the gameplay sucked...loose ball situations sucked, rebounding sucked...ball handling and shooting sucked...as well did passing...and the glitches....seriously the game wasnt even playable

Yeah, I actually thought the gameplay for 06 on 360 was really good but they just didn't have any modes to play. Then when they added the modes on 07 the gameplay was horrible!!! I like both bball games but I do hope NBA Live gets it together because I have always enjoyed it.
