NBA Live 08

by Electronic Arts

Product 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.

well I am here to say this game definately does more justice than a 1 star!! With all the capabilities that is offered in the game, how could it be? I enjoyed the game, and actually was suprised by the game play on the PSP, the graphics are more enjoyable than the PS2 version, but I would say the realism it not... in the PSP version, I don't like the fact that it is so easy to make shots, players go to the hole anytime they wish, and it's extremely hard to steal in the game... but like I said, it really is enjoyable to have all those options at the palm of your hand; shot out is added which I have never played before, and it seemed I was stuck on that challenge even before I experienced playing a real game... bottom line is the game is good, damn good for PSP, I just hope EA can make some slight adjustments towards next years edition.

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.

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!
