    As with hockey, EA's NBA Live 08 entry is far superior in terms of graphics, sound, and gameplay to 2K Sports. Skip this one.

    Damn man...these graphics look like they have taken a leap backwards. the character models are embarassing and feels way too arcadey and too easy to score. Live 08 character models are very impressive and I find it more of a sim than 2k8 this year. All of the nba games this year are somewhat disappointing but this is the not the best of them.

    While NBA 2K8 may have some kinks to work out in its post game, it’s still the best basketball sim on the market.

    It's certainly the best basketball game on any system this year. The Association is a solid franchise mode and, if VC can iron out its AI and gameplay issues, next year's model could be something very special.

    Despite a few nagging issues, NBA 2K8 is a fantastic basketball game packed to the brim with features and game modes.
