NBA 2K8 (Xbox 360, 2007)

Somehow 2k8 seemed o improve from its last installment 2k7. Graphics are more crisp and smooth, the crown is louder than ever, and so realistic.

I have both NBA live 08 and NBA 2k8. By far NBA 2k8 is better. It has all new mechanics so where every player reflects every move of its realife counter part. That Kobe Bryant fade away, they got it, that Lebron dunk they got it. From the no shows to the playmakers they all use the same movement as the players in the NBA.
One of the great things about this game is that you feel like you are actually watching a real basketball game, the announcers are great, they are the real ones from the TV broadcasts. The breaks are great, the replays are also pretty good, and the halftime show and post game states are pretty neat.

The graphics arnt the best in the world but they still look real. The gameplay is smooth, no jumps or freezes. The new A.I. makes it so where there are no 100 to 60 point games, the defense plays physical and hard.

Another great thing is the dunk contes, being able to jump over cars is cool, the three point shootout and more add more things to the game. Getting tired of playing regular games, play a game of 21 on the blacktop.

I recommend you get this game soon, before you get live
