NBA Live 08 has some awesome features such as hot spots, salary cap exeptions(dynasty mode) and rumers(dynasty). They are all cool and can help greatly depending on the situation. The dynasty is fairly extensive as you have many factors in keeping your team running well.
Though a new addition to the game are hot spots, I have found that if you are not in a hot spot making a shot becomes highly difficult, however, if you are in that hot spot, you can make a good percentage. For instance, using Ray Allen (who has a hot spot all the way around the 3point arc exept in the right corner) I put down several threes with guys in my face, however, when he had the ball WIDE open in the right corner he missed the shot both times. So hot spots have advantages and disavantages. The gameplay is very good because it reflects real NBA play fairly well. (Better than other years of the game)
The biggest problem I personally have with the game is that the Celtics are rated quite low. Come on, Pierce, Allen and Garnett.
I would definatly suggest this game. It fun and challenging.
