NBA Live 08 achievements list

The full list of Xbox 360 achievements for NBA Live 08 has been revealed.

All of the achievements are offline and single player based. There are 26 of them making up the 1000 points.

Personally I feel that achievements in sports titles should come through the natural course of playing the games. That should include some that are specific to different game modes. However I am frustrated when there are several that I know I'll never get before the game has even been released. These are the ones which require you to play the game differently, basically as it isn't intended to be, in order to have any chance to get them.

For example from this list I know I'll never get the ones based on breaking individual records. And that isn't because of skill, its because I'm not going to turn the quarter length to 15 minutes, put the difficulty on Rookie, and spend 2 hours trying to shoot with only one player (101 points) or take bad shots so that I can try and get a specific player more rebounds (56 rebounds). I don't see how people would find that anything but a waste of time except that now you're being rewarded with an achievement.

There should have been some online/multiplayer achievements along with being more about rewarding accomplishments through the natural course of playing instead of trying to cheat the stats.

You can check out the full list of achievements here.

I disagree with Padre a bit on this one. There are people that don’t have acess to online features or simply don’t mind playing online at all (it’s not my case but anyway). Games that focus too much on online achievements turn those gamers off from the whole achievements experience, although I’ll admit that it might be a way to bring them in. I like the idea of braking records though.

I agree I can’t stand the achievement rewarding for cheated stats.

But I do love all this info EA is giving us.

sure I understand that, it doesnt have to be dominated by them. But you’re assuming that everyone plays offline vs the CPU. What about the people who generally play multiplayer? There are those people out there also. It should be a mix.

Achievements and sportsgames dont really mix. Its all good if the achievement comes for accomplishing something during the game, but the 15 minute qtr, rookie level, use 2 controllers, adjust the sliders, method of going for sports achievements is something that I will not do. I did it for nba2k7 and then I realized someday I will be on my deathbed and bad enough to think of the hours I wasted playing videogames, but the hours wasted not even enjoying the videogame just to collect meaningless achievement points?

I just wish the accomplishments were a little bit more varied, it seems like every EA game or sports game in general has the usual achievements…

A few random certain stats that you have too get, usually not too hard but some are a challenge. A few ridiculous records you have to try and break, a few best record/championship achievements for dynasty mode and then a couple “play a ranked game” type achievements.

Meh…just…meh.

Yes, I was told specifically that both the 360 and PS3 will be 60fps.

I’ll see if I can double-confirm this cause it was a month ago that I was told the info and that I could spread the word on it. I suppose things could have changed but if they have I haven’t been told so.
