NBA Live 08

This is a review by an experienced videogame player of basketball. Trust his judgment.

Live 08 is one of the smoothest playing basketball games on the market. Limited time with NBA 2K8 may be the reason that I was never sold on it, but by far Live is better. The game play is near the same speed of what the real game plays like. Shooters get hot and cold and of course there are unstoppable franchises just as any sport game has. The Celtics, just as in real life are unstoppable and could be titled as completely unfair. Room for improvement lies in the effort players put out to save loose balls from going out of bounds. No effort whatsoever is given to saving the ball, they simply walk out of bounds, bend over at the waist and pick it up. Another glitch is the fact that an overwhelming amount of shots hit the back of the backboard causing an out of bounds call. It's somewhat frustrating, but nothing too serious. Overall I give it a 9/10 with some room for improvement.
