You know what it is.
First off, Live has way too many mistakes for them to even think we'll be happy with a game that not only has things wrong with it within the game-play but also cost us 64 dollars to purchase.With that said i think nba live 08 is still a good game, nice to look at and even better when you actually play it. It's fun!!!!! yes it's fun and a lot of people believe this to be the case also, it just should not cost us 60 plus to own it maybe 45 to 50 dollars tops.
Now 2k8 is allot of fun also but is flawed do to it's lack of eye popping graphics, awkward controls and presentation this year. Come on 2k what the h*LL,no player intros, starts up the same as 2k7, no one wants to see only line up pictures two years in a row. My biggest gripe with 2k is that it doesn't give us the range of control over a player like nba live does, wich live pissed me off by taking out the separate layup and dunk buttons as-well as a couple of juke moves this year. But still has better overall player control.
Overall live 08 is a good game ,would have been even better or even the best game this year if it was not for 2k8. No joke if 2k8 didn't play and animate the way it do live would kill it. Same goes for 2k8, if live 08 didn't look as pretty didn't have fiba, and all-star weekendlive 08 would be in trouble.
I have to say I buy both games every year, even found a way to have fun with live 07, but this year I'm only gonna buy one of them first and the other when price drops a little. The first one i'll buy is 2k8, sorry I just feel i can't go wrong with it. 2k8 has soooooooooo many sliders, that you can almost make it play how ever you want plus it's more of a challenge. The main reason i feel 2k8 is the better game this year is because the game just flows more smoothly,Player models are way better than 2k7's and gameplay wise i can't get enuff. 2k8 player models are so good this year you can tell who's who just by looking at there body type, plus player faces look a hell of a lot better,not to mintion they play just like their real life counter parts. Next year who knows who the champ will be, but this year it's 2k8. Hay I LOVENBA basketball, as-well as video games for it. I'm in no way biased, that just happens to be my opinion on the two games.Don't beleave me my gamertag is APEstanKonYA. I'll be back on line soon. I buy both games every year. Live 08: 8.2 2k8 9.1
