NBA Live 08 or NBA 2K8?

[Roi]

NBA 2k8 should be the better game, but I hope they make a lot of improvements. I hope they fix the Draft class import so I can properly import my draft class from College Hoops this year. Last year, after 2 years in Franchise mode, your scouts would go away and never return.

Secondly, I hope they fix the Franchise mode in general. They shouldn't have the computer making stupid trades as often.The computer should trade draft picks and not feel obligated to sign free agents that don't match the team just because they have the capspace. Also, they should have a random generator that can generate Foreign Free Agents.

Also, NBA 2k8 should make coaches relevant. Certain coaches should have ACTUAL styles that go with ACTUAL plays. That way, we don't have the same plays over and over again and teams can play like their coaches. (That way if you fire a coach and want to change teh style of game, you can do that. By doing this you can create more control over the game as a GM).

If they made scouting a more intense thing in 2k8 it would add to the realism. A little report saying "Team X's best player is so and so. He tends to go right x% of the time, blah blah).

Also, they should make talent scouting for the draft more intense and Assistant coaches should be actually useful. If they used my idea for the coaches, they could use Assistants that could work with individual plays and increase stats in that regard. They could use them to improve the Player development games. Ex. they coach you select passes in the balls or gives you access to certain drills maybe?

Why there even be a debate about this? The franchises are a 1000 miles apart

2K8 by a landslide. I used to be a Live fan back in 04, but the 2K series is just getting better and better. I can't wait to start my Celtics franchise in 2K8.

I bought live 07 instead of 2k7.....07 is aight....but I'm always a 2k player first.....prolly gonna get it for PS3 in a few months.

NBA 2K8 will be better than NBA Live 08 because gameplay is much smoother and realistic. You can't explode for 150 points with LeBron every game in NBA 2K series.

That is so true u cant score 150 pts with players the only thing i dont like is the passing in the game i cant do fancy passes either but i still prefer 2k series.
