Yeah, no doubt about it. NBA 2k8 is undoubtedly the best NBA video game ever created.

2k8 no doubt. Most realistic basketball game you will ever play.

I got 2K8 for the PS3 last week, and really like it.  It has a dunk contest, dunk practice area, and 3 pt shooting contest (as opposed to FIBA competition with NBA Live '08) among other things.

Not to mention the fact that if the Celtics are half as dominate on the court as they are in the game - we are in for a fantastic year!

maybe its just early in the game for me...but it is the first basketball game that if i set the quarters to 5 minutes i only score 50 points per game maybe a little more...but definitely not the usual 100 points I generally found myself scoring in the past.

That's one of the beauties about 2k8. If you play realistic ball and want realistic results, you have to play a realistic 9-12 minutes per quarter. I play 10 minutes per quarter and get very realistic results.

like everyone else has said, I bought both games the day they came out and I just got back from returning Live 08. 2k8 is, in my opinion, the greatest basketball game ever.

I have a Wii and I read a really bad review of Live 08 on the Wii.  Anybody played it?

  • I just might be a basketball machine. -MS
7 min quarters are great for me - I routinely put up 90-110 points.

2k8 is a good game but it is far from the best game ever.

That would be NBA Live 2005.

Why NBA Live is better than 2k8. First off, the direct pass is much much better. When you direct pass to a player, it doesn't move him off the 3pt line like in 2k8. So when you have that player spotting up for 3, you can direct pass to him and he actually stays at the 3pt line unlike 2k8.

Also the shooting is much better. In 2k8, everyone has different release points which is highly annoying. You have to lab every different release point, and if you have 2 players who look the same, it's tough in the heat of the moment to remember which release point to use. In NBA Live, all release points where the same.

Nba Live was also easier to play defense in. In 2k8 is mad tough to block a dunk, it's almost impossible. Basacally if you get the dunking animation, it's over for the defense. In Nba Live you could actually block someones dunk like they do in the real NBA.

The AI is also pretty dumb in 2k8. In live it was much better.

Now after 2005, NBA live turned to ****. But as is, NBA Live 2005 is still the best NBA game ever by far, no game even comes close imo.
