There´s a lot of people that is claim NBA 2K8 this year, and there´s people is that does not understand basketball at all. This year game is more realistic, peace game, lot of plays well reflected on the arena, screens, pick´n´rolls, etc...and there´s so much people dissapointed because this game is so real. This people preferds to smash the hoop all the time like in Live, but in real life this does not happends. So, it´s clear that dissapointed guys with this game, don´t know how NBA works, this is a simulator not an arcade. Furthermore, you have the "blue lines" to understand how to make the plays. What more do you want?

Another complain it´s about the graphics....what? Did you see the 2K7 faces?, for example, caucassian players like Ginobilli?? They were really weird. This year on 2K8 faces look much more realistic and acurate, the bodies are better, in 2k7 they were exagerated, this year you can reconigze each player from far away. Take a look to the arena!! my god, it´s totally ALIVE, the ambience is awesome, better than last year.....at the end, all it´s more real.

I love real basketball, and this game provides me it. If you preferd some easy arcade ans repetitive thing, this is not your game,,,, Live 08 it´s ok.

And with the inclusion of dunk / 3 point contests, the editor and the association mode, this game rocks. A great work from VC and 2K

Take care

    This game is so fun. The Gameplay is great the best ever in a basketball sim. The Graphics are better but not that big of an improvement. The new features like the Dunk contest and the 3 point contest and rookie Sophomor... Read Full Review
