Features:
  • All-new quickstrike ball-handling - whether you're pushing the ball upcourt or backing down a defender inside, quicker, more responsive ball-handling moves allow you to break down opponents and take complete control of your game.
  • Own the paint - put the ball in the hands of your best guys and go head-to-head in the lane. With all-new moves and counters, including pump fakes, drop-steps, and spins, post play has never been better.
  • Use the actual NBA shot tracking data to know who to feed and who to defend. An all-new on-screen overlay shows you exactly where a player is most dangerous.
  • Every player has a go-to move that they consistently go to when the game is on the line. Now the signature go-to moves of the NBA's best players have been realistically re-created to help you score when it counts. That patented step back jumper? A fadeaway with the big leg kick? If it's in the game, it's in the game.
  • With its new look and feel, 5-on-5 gameplay has never looked so good. The game features enhanced player spacing and behavior logic in the half-court, upgraded passing and rebounding mechanics, and an all-new two player interaction engine.

Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Providing an unrivaled level of authenticity, NBA LIVE 08 introduces hot spots, using real NBA shot data to illuminate the locations on the floor where your players are most effective. Couple this with all-new signature go-to moves that capture the essence of the NBA's best, and you can now play the game on a console like you see it from the stands. All-new shooting mechanics - from deep three-point shots well beyond the arc to 10-foot jump shots in the paint, every shot attempt has been redesigned to provide more fluid, realistic results. Dunks and lay-ups are now assigned to the same button command making highlight reel plays even easier to perform. Running at a smooth 60 frames per second, NBA LIVE 08 is as close as you can get to the court, without dropping a dime for courtside seats. Player faces, team uniforms, and authentic arenas jump to life behind the power of next-generation game graphics. Whether you're working on your game in the revamped practice gym, or playing in front of a packed house, feel what it's like to be an NBA superstar. ESRB Rated E for Everyone

4 out of 5 stars good game for newcomers   August 24, 2008
The last basketball video-game I've played was Double Dribble back in 1988. When I saw this game and all it has evolved the genre I wanted to try it.
Sport games doesn't evolve very much, only some variations on the rules.
The upgraded graphics, the new additions of sound fx, audio commentary, camera angles and the extras makes a great game for casual and hardcore gamers. I read that the console versions have other features that the PSP doesn't but the portability convenience makes it a good choice. If you have some time you can pick a quick game and enjoy or continue a season.
But this will never compares to the real life sport.

I searched all over for this game but it was sold out. When I finally decided to look for it on Amazon, I was so happy that they had it. THEY HAVE EVERYTHING!!!!

Bought this game for my 12-year-old son, and he loves it. When shopping online, I recommend using Amazon and am always pleased with their quick service.


4 out of 5 stars Good purchase   June 13, 2008
Very good game with actual players. Good graphics. On the season games, you have to keep saving your actual scores, because sometimes the game got reset and you have to start all over.
Very good game!! Highly recommended!



2 out of 5 stars Needs Improvement   June 2, 2008
This game is the pretty much the same since '06. I wish these sports games would stop creating optional games like "The Crown" and focus more on off-season and in-season stuff. The player trading is just as dumb as '06 (the pc won't trade draft picks). And why in the world won't NBA Live and Madden create conditional and future draft pick trading??? The rookies are better in '08, especially the second rounders that weren't even worth drafting in the previous versions. My recommendation: It's a lot of fun to play, but the franchise mode hasn't changed. But props to EA for continually creating awesome games - they just need a little tweaking in my opinion.
