Man, I just love sports titles, and I will play every new one it comes out, and it always seems that 2k sports makes the biggest leaps then any other gaming titles out there.
some pros:
player animation is fantastic! there are actual moves "layup, crossovers, jumpshot, dunks" that are unique to every player! Also the realism is there, fighting through screen, wrapping around a defender as you drive past him. amazing. oh and they even RUN like there real life counterpart.
aesthetically beautiful. picture is alot more clear this year, last yr was a little choppy, now the graphics looks great!!! whether HD or not.
AI is tougher! great team d by the AI, and makes you run a play to find an open shot... and once you make a nice play, you feel like a million bucks!! Just makes it a little more enjoyable.
Kevin Durant!!!!! enough said :P
CONS::::::
presentation. Lets be honest we all love some eye candy as well. There is no animation to annouce the line-up like live08. The halftime show is about 2 mins, and only list your stats. There is nothing between quarters, it just goes straight to the next quarter. So i must say NBA live08 WINSS in that category.
Menus are still a little odd. It sorta the same-ol from last year just beefed up a little bit, so i suppose you could be used to it if you played 2k7.
Overall i highly reccomend this game. In my opinion it is THE best baketball simulation this year! if you love bball games, it simply is a must buy, if your just a sports fan in general. You AT LEAST need to rent this game. And if you played 2k7 through and through, you will love the suttle nuances that 2k8 will bring to the table.
much love,
ajj
