Co-Sign. I got a problem with them just because they devoted all that time to Live 07. Can't wait to get some solid game time with NBA Live.

Innovation for all sports games? Right. Funny how they dunked in NBA Live 07 with Lebron but then use AK-47 for the dunk in NBA Live 08. Anyone notice that switcheroo? Post game looks alright. Just wish the players would roll off the defender to either side. What about the hook shot too? Is that missing? I don't know about this game still. I'm going to pick it up eventually......hopefully. These videos are marketing's idea right? Honestly, EA needs to just be straight honest with their product instead of pulling these pre-rendered cameo shots to get users happy.

I know these dudes did not just say that this year the balls stays in the players hand when they dribble. LOL
Once again, I say that everyone that bought '07 should get '08 for free. This is just pitiful.

OMG, dude did not just compliment them on having "a real dribbling motion". LMAO

Yeah, I thought that was sad, and the shot in the paint where the ball went high into the air. These are the most basic things that should be in a basketball game, they're acting like it's a special feature for the ball to have a realistic trajectory or to actually stay in someones hand.

Re: Is this a new Live 08 video (gametrailers.com)

this marketing was great though. i think i saw the problem that their having, guys making the game who look like they've never played a real game of ball in their lives.

Yup... good point. It's funny how they're trashing '07 themselves...

You can do a hookshot, you should DL the demo and try it yourself. It's actually pretty decent.

Just showing that they are improving series...The guy on MLB 2k7 actually talked about their game just after release...personally, i think live is a year away from being a great game...Right now, i'll settle for good b/c they did fix and work on a lot of things...and these things take time (game developing).

i wish they bring back th 10-man freestyle where players half fronted in the passing lanes instead of just standing there. And players planted to pop out on the wings.

Re: Is this a new Live 08 video (gametrailers.com)

Yeah I know what your talking about phant that 10 man mo-cap was great. I really don't know why EA didn't bring that over to their next gen versions it could really help push live to more a sim style of play. I hope they incorporate that stuff back in the series next year.

Re: Is this a new Live 08 video (gametrailers.com)

What is a 10-man mocap? I've been trying to understand that thing for the longest. Doesn't logically make sense to me, but I'm just an innocent fan. Also, if they bring that over, I'm sure their game would slow down even more. That's why their games on the XBOX/PS2 were so slow and off. They had too much going on that didn't need to be going on. They tried to put to much in that didn't really help the game like it could have. That's why they're still on the subpar level looking up. Mediocrity in this new generation doesn't seem to last which is what it should have been from the beginning. That's just me though.

From what I remember, the 10-man mo-cap was a good idea but implemented poorly.

Maybe it was because the lack of real plays, but everytime down the court, every player went through the same motions. Almost like synchronized swimming.

Whatever they need to do to make the off the ball guys motion and move to their correct spots based on the play called is what I want.

Re: Is this a new Live 08 video (gametrailers.com)

Yeah you got it right bigeast the problem was like both you and Mist said it was just poorly implemented. But the thing I liked about it was how the players off the ball moved like they would do in IRL like waving their hands when open or how the defensive players would actually look like they were playing the passing lanes because of the stance they were in. This would look great in the next gen games because they could add in even more animations like that and it would just add to the authenticity of the game.
