[WhatsHisFace]

I am rattling with anticipation of when the next one will come out. Or even if they're ever going to make another one. Some people are saying this is the conclusion to the series...

 

[Purple Prancer]

Believe.

I would doubt that, i dont think 2K has given any indication of that.

I think he was trying to make a joke. I mean, it wasnt at all funny, so it's hard to tell, but it certainly feels like sarcasm. I could be wrong though.

From what I can tell Manu looks and plays like Manu!!! Same with Parker! Havent played it yet just cpu vs cpu(something I love to do). Graphics improved! But I cant really tell without the instant replay so I can zoom in.

The biggest thing I'm hoping to see corrected is late game AI. If the CPU is down by 4 with time running out they need to be in rush mode, in the previous games they would just run a normal offense, that ish irritated me to no end.

Or sometimes they wont even shoot the ball at all! One gripe I didnt like is when you sub a player, the player thats leaving gets a huge downgrade in graphics!!! Keep the players looks on and off the court.

That doesn't really matter, why concentrate on making players off the court look good when they are still having some trouble getting the players on the court looking like their real life counterparts. Besides, the players on the court look better. Gooden even has that pubic hair looking thing on the back of his head. Seriously, what the **** is up with that? Shave that **** off.

Holy Moly!!!

Edit: So the review has been posted.

IGN gives it a 7.9. It seems the major flaw that brought it down was the addition of the Lock-On D where it made Shaq the "best point guard in the game." Also mentioned that the AI on offense was great, but no so great on defense.

NBA Live got a 6.9.

The Gamespot review gives it a 8.5. "NBA 2K8 is one of the greatest basketball games in recent memory." So go figure I guess. Either theres some shady business going on with IGN and EA or something, who knows.

What do you mean? Ign gave NBA Live a poor rating(nothing new there), it also said NBA 2K8 was a step down from last yr(from what they said about the lock on D, it deserves the rating it got). I dont see any shady deals.

When was the last decent NBA live game....?

 

[WhatsHisFace]

OMG 8.5 they were obviously paid off by Sony.

 

[Jerry!]

I really don't think there is anything to it, just that the way they contrasted was weird.

 

[Fran]

I was gonna get this, but got NHL 08 instead.

why the hell would Sony pay for a reviewer to give a 8.5 to a 360 version of the game? 8.5 is pretty solid. Its good but not quite a 9
