Screenshot comparison: NBA Live 08 vs NBA 2K8

i have gotten nba live games ever since 2003 and i got live 07 cus i always thought nba live was the best b-ball video game series but that changed when i went to a friends and played 2k7 on his 360. i was AMAZED at how much better the gameplay AND graphics were plus the halftime report and shit like that was awesome!! the only thing i didnt like better about it than live 07 was the dnasty mode. u cant do as much stuff and when trading a player u atomatically get wut u want, the team doesnt even reply to reject or accept the offer and they forgot about player’s salary!….thats not realistic! and u cant train players, sign staff, etc. if these nba games didnt have dyansty then i wouldent even buy them! so im praying that they 2k8 change to just what live 07 was like then 2k8 will be perfect!

nba live 08 has improved heaps…even though the legs are skinny and the shorts are skirts..whos gonna look at that wen theyre playing?

oh and look at the baby oil on the players on 2k8
who looks like their already exhausted when they havent even played yet?

Freddie what you wrote was exactly what happened to me, i turned into a 2k guy, but man i just downloaded the live 08 demo on xbox and that thing is incredible. seriousley im thinking bout going back to Live, as a matter of fact im gonna drop a deposit tomorrow.

Live demo Sucked. Im stickin definitely wit 2k. When is it available in stores??

october 2nd, like 2 weeks from now, i cant wait. both live 08 and 2k8 come out on that day

i am getting both games, but im worried that i am going to fall in love wit 2ks game play and not go back to nba live, and it could be a waste of money

Anyone who cares about playing a game that remotely resembles basketball would play 2k8. Anyone who wants to play arcade ball plays live. If you have ever played ball in real life, or watch basketball as an avid fan, you get 2k8. If you are 10 and only care about graphics and arcade games. Get live.

NBA LIVE 08 BABY ALL THE WAY

t-mac looks better than the cover boy chris paul and t-mac ain’t the coverboy

LOL live fanboy using bad 2k8 pics as comparisms!

got to go live with real faces and no sweat that could fill the great lakes

Nba live is the best, the ones saying live sucks dont know what they are talking about. Nba live last year was surpose to be the best but instead it was Nba 2k7. This year it will be the other way around, Nba 2k8 is the flavorite this year but Live will be the winner in the end. Gameply also must do with graphics.

Stop haten on Nba live 2008 just because all the 2k8 fans know 2k8 sucks ass.All you haters start jumping on the ship because last year 2k was boring and so will it be this year. Listen to the game master when I tell you live has improve. With just alike nba moves, better post play and better defence Live has 8 International teams,some Teams is Italy, China, Spain, America, France, Argentina, Brazil and Greece with a better dynasty mode and better online play,liVE HAS MOVE TO THE NEXT GENERATION. Also Graphics is part of game play if it dont look a like how can it be better gameplay.Foe exzample look at chris paul in both 2k and live ask your self which is better,live right? also I know what I am talking about because I play basket ball in college so because I play I should know if its real or not even the pros said its real all of them have said live is the way to go. Kobe said in the LA times “I have both 2k8 and LIVE 08 personaly live gives tha fan a tast on how we play 2k8 Shows only half of our game and I cant lie I love lives animations this year when they gave me the second copie of the game I didnt know what to think of the game ( THEN KOBE ENDED ) I will tell you go get live 08″.so if not belive kobe.

the live demo is off the hook and its just a demo i cant wait till the real game comes out. The only good thing i hear about 2k is in the franchise mode each player has a personality thats it. We all have eyes and lets not lie to are selves (fanboys)live looks better this year and the gameplay is better than ever its so real. i hate how ppl just go off of the past this game is the shit 2k is boring and online it is the king of arcade. all ppl do is dunk and shoot three’s at least this year in live there air collisions and u cant just dunk on anyone and live got the international teams. give it a chance last year was last year and 2k was still not great it was just the fact that live wasnt that good either. this year u all will be shocked and stop taking video games to serious u guys are killin me with all this shit about the croud. i like both franchises the same but it seems like to the 2k fan boys as long as the croud is cool than its ok to be boring. Any true baller will get both games anyway i do every year and i know that 2k fan boys will rip me but its cool u guys are loyal just please just dont lie to everybody about this shit who ever is comfused just get both.

and this is to the true ballers at one point in time live was king and then 2k took over so why is it a shock that this is lives year????

Enjoy both games on october second i will

i’ve played both demos..
Live 08 owns in realistic graphics but player movements seem stiff and robot like.
2k8 owns in realistic movements, and smoother gameplay, but graphics seemed only slightly improved from a year ago.

Live has improved and is great to look at.. but 2k8 is more fun to play.

why cant the NBA gaming industry come together and combine the two so we can enjoy both, the beauty of the graphics and realistic gameplay. sucks we have to choose from the two.. but i’ll go with gameplay.

im definatley going with live 08. i looked at its gameplay and 2k8′s gamplay and live has really improved. in 2k8 all the players look too skinny and tall for their actual height and weight.

and i trust nba live 08′s dynasty mode more. thats my favorite thing on it. i wouldent buy these video games if they didnt have dyansty mode

NBA Live 08 all the way, hands down. Key word Go-to-moves : ) two days away.

just played the 2k8 demo and damn i feel bad for the fanbos the players are skinny as hell and they have skin tone prob (i play on high def so its not the tv) manu is slightly red in this game and the game play is the same shit as last years sam exact thing it looks like they took last years game updated the roster and f*cked up the colors i was shocked i thought this game was going to kill it looks like the same thing as last year they did nothing new and it sux im still getting both but live 08 is looking way better and live let the demo out way b4 2k i thought 2k was keeping it a secret cause they had some special shit but no same game so if fanboys hate live i know what u can do put your money in your pocket pop in 2k7 yes 2k7 update your roster player create Kevin Durrant and punch your tv a few times and you got 2k8. just tape the number 8 over the 7 next to 2k, and u cant even tell th differece.

OH MY FUCKING GOD NBA LIVE 08 IS THE BEST, I JUST GOT IT I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY IM ON HERE NOW. BYE IM GOIN TO PLAY IT ITS SO AWESOME!!!!

Yeah yeah yeah, i hear every1 talkin bout graphics. both look good, now lets talk bout the game play. Live is a playground nba and 1 game, and thats the bottom line. if you a real b ball guy you know that 2k has the closet to real life gameplay.

Would everyone quit comparing and say which one is the better! I haven’t opened either of the $140+ dollar games here.

nba 2k8 looks like its taking over
but Live i’m hoping that you all can come back tremendously
