Quit saying they had 8 months man. How you going to get on here talking about people acting like they know so much and then saying something this wrong? If they only had 8 months to work on this game, then that would mean they started on it in January. A typical development cycle for the NBA game starts in October right after or just prior to release of the current game. Even if you buy EA's talk about putting a team together in November, that's 10 months ago. That's not even touching the fact that Peter Moore (yeah, EA COO Peter Moore) said they had a talented team that already had the game up and running in August of LAST YEAR. Whatever though. Guess I'm not being truthful about things (that happened to be facts) and just being biased here.
