NBA Live 08 is the worst basketball simulation game out right now. It's really easy to just give it to ur best player and have him drive in for the dunk or layup, and its the same way for the AI its impossible to guard a dunk. I just played as the lakers against the Celtics and the final score was 120 to 115!! Both teams had over 100 points by the end of the 3rd quarter!! Besides the horrible gameplay, the menus are terrible! the dynasty mode does have a lot of cool features, but its still difficult to manage ur team, because the menus arent fluid. 2ks menus are always very easy to go through. Also u cant improve a plyers stats through dynasty like on 2K. The graphics are pretty good, if u like comical disney graphics! The players look like they are all 5 foot and have huge heads, and they look ridiculous running down the court. If ur looking to buy an NBA game get 2K8.
