I'm having trouble having figuring out which basketball game to buy this year. The past 2 years, I went with the 2k series. I Played the demo of Live 08 and it looks like it's going to be a good game this year. I'm still leaning toward 2k8 but I havent played the demo yet. Anybody has any suggestions?

I think that you stay with the 2k game because it will have the slam dunk contest in it this year!!!

2K8 is always the better game. However, it seems NBA Live '08 seems to have narrowed the lead some.

i wouldnt buy a game just for a slam dunk contest... NBA Live 08 is by far a better basketball game.

2k8 no question. Don't be a "SPECIAL" kid. :)

p.s. Personally, I hated the Live demo, although it did seem to be an improvement over the dismal 07. Play it and you be the judge.

as much as all you people are like Live 08 was better than Live 07, yes it was, but Live 08 wasn't even better than NBA 2k8 only complete noobs play basketball games for graphics, like i said if you can name more basketball players than air jordan, then you'll get 2k8

i hate how just because 08 improved soooo much from 07 that it automatically is better than 2k8

i agree 08 is gonna be a fun game, but they could get a piece of dog crap, mold it as a DVD, put it in a case, and it still would have been better than live07

Live 08 seems like a fun arcadey game of basketball, so if your into that, then by all means get it. From the past few years 2k seems like its gonna be a game of sim-realistic basketball, and 2k8 doesnt seem to be any different.

But in in my opinion of differences of quality i think 2k8 will take the cake
