I have written a guest blog for the EA Sports NBA Live 08 website detailing the 10 games of the upcoming NBA season that I am anticipating the most.

5) 12/17 Phoenix Suns @ San Antonio Spurs

We get the rematch of the real NBA Finals. Only this time there will be no suspensions for leaving the bench, Steve Nash's nose will hopefully be healed by tip-off, and there will be no Tim Donaghy. I'm obligated to add that Tony Parker married Eva Longoria over the off-season.

You can check out the full list by visiting here.

Hhhmmm…will these games be officiated by legit refs or is Stern still going to pretend his ref situation is an isolated case.

I think EA should add a corrupt commissioner mode where gamers can hide corrupt refs, fine players out the ass and change the basketball out of the blue. Now thats authenticity guys.

oh and the Suns will take the Spurs 12/17

Padre,

Anything new on EA tightening up the “D” in Live. You mentioned in a previous post that that could be a problem if they left it were it was when you played it at the community event. The game looks and sounds great but so far from what little I’ve seen and read it all just seems a little to geared to the offense. Am I wrong on this?

Nothing new specifically. We were told we’d get a demonstration of what they did to improve in the areas that we suggested but I haven’t heard more about that yet. Also we’re looking at a demo in a few weeks, and I’m hoping to get a copy of the game early as well. So there should be plenty of opportunity to assess the game.

I think the Sun s/Spurs game should be number one. It will determine if the NBA is going to let players like Dirt Bag Bowen and Cheap Shot Horry continue to make a mockery of the rules.
