NBA live 08 demo - 09-07-2007, 12:51 PM

Just played a few games on it on the 360, first impression are that its a major improvement on 07, everything seems alot more fluid and the graphics are very nice, flaws that i noticed were the controls werent that responsive and the animational transition from dribble to dunk didnt seem very realistic, also i didnt like the way the action replays seemed to play faster than the game did.

good stuff, was the depth of moves and individuality of the players, they really seemed to get that down well. Overall I really liked it, and shall definately be getting it. It's worth a download anyway, at least before you condemn it.

It sucks. The dunk and layup animations are awful. Some of the layup animations are alright, but the ones that involve collision look horrible. The dunks are terrible, when you dunk it, it doesn't feel like anything special like some of the power dunks in NBA 2k7. They also aren't fluid at all and jump like 600 mph. The signature shots aren't really good either. Arenas's is, but LeBron's is horrible.

I found it too easy to take the defender off the dribble on the two highest difficulty modes. The AI is questionable, they never seem to wait to take the final shot at the end of quarters, the rush something and leave like 7 seconds on the clock for me. I hate the way offensive fouls are done because it doesn't seem believable at all. Yes, it's nice that they don't always flop or fall down every single time, but there doesn't seem to be enough evidence for it to look like an offensive foul like the player lowering his shoulder or charging full speed into the defender.

Pretty much all the animations suck. They just don't have that fluidness like they do in NBA 2k7. Granted, it is an improvement over the past couple Live's and it's running 60 fps.

The good things are the graphics are alright, even though I still prefer 2k's graphics to Live's. The commentary is superb as usual. The quick strike ball handling is pretty tight too.

I'll probably pass on this year's Live again unless 2k8 has some kind of game killing glitch.

Like TMac, there's nothing to appreciate. He's terrible but a lot of people around here still think he's good, but he's awful.

I don't think its terrible. It is DEFINATLY better than last years game. At least its playable.

Won't even touch 2k8 tho.

Ive recorded a vid of it with my camera, quality isnt perfect, but it shows 8 minutes worth of the demo, including the practice arena and cavs-spurs first 2 quarters(which i got a bit owned on lol) its about 121mb if anyway wants me upload it. (on my HD tv)

Edit: I can do a shorter one or record something specific if anyway wants it.
