Well, you can't really decide until they both come out. But, if you were to choose now, I would definately go with NBA 2k8. EA has been making horrible sports games. Now, there are people who are saying Live 08 will be totally different, but I won't believe it until I actually see it. EA has just had a bad history in making improvements on games. You would think that after making so many sports games, that they might actually be good at it.

2k8 is the way to go. Live has potential to be good this year, just not better than 2k8.

2k sports has been greater (quality) than EA Sports for a long time.

Even with Peter Moore now working for EA Sports now, I seriously doubt he will be able to have some positive headway into improving the quality of EA's product anytime soon (certainly not with any of their 08 products).

The only positive changes being enacted into Live 08 now are in response to the (class action) lawsuit EA lost to with the horrendously poor Live 07. Yes, they got sued, and the people suing won. That's basically the only motivator for EA to improve their quality anymore. :|

Unfortunately, for us b-ball fanatics, there has been no choice but 2k games for the past 5 years or so. Not that 2k has made a bad game, in fact i think 2k7 is the best sports game i ever played, but competition breeds better games and lower price points. I have seen no mention of live making any of the needed drastic changes while 2k seems to be adding some much necessary fluff (slam-dunk contest) but i would not jump to any conclusions until the games go gold.

Live is probably going to be garbage again, go with 2K.
