NBA Live 08 full game: USA vs Germany
by 
Here is another full game broken down by quarter. In this FIBA matchup Germany faces off against the United States. This one is played on All-Star difficulty and to me is by far better than the two games I have posted previously. I made sure to do a few go-to moves in there as well.
Of note, these are the default FIBA rosters. EA has stated they will release roster updates which will include adding Kobe Bryant to the US roster around the release date.
This will probably be the last significant update for today (Thursday). Continue to check the question/answer posting which I’m updating when I have the opportunity to do so, and tomorrow and through the weekend when I’ll have more new content.
Continue through to view the videos.

COOL THIS WEBSITE IS THE BOMB!

Pasta, so did EA just like totally remove the Superstar and Star Icons (playmaker, highflyer, inside scorer, outside scorer, steals, blocker)?
September 27, 2007 at 6:14 pm
…. oh and pasta, what is the free throw shooting scheme like this year?
September 27, 2007 at 6:17 pm
4th quarter 5:00 mark….dunk through the backboard
Still, looks fun. chalik360, FSS as been scrapped completely.

September 27, 2007 at 6:19 pm
good vid. i only watched up untill the half but i’ll be back..this makes me wanna play so bad
September 27, 2007 at 6:24 pm
Pasta does your game take a while to load because mine takes about 2 minutes just to load an exhibition.
September 27, 2007 at 6:26 pm
I’ll have online impressions up by morning.
iathrowback- sometimes, usually though it loads up after 3 or 4 trivia questions. Talking with Shawn from 5w-g he mentioned a few times hes had it take minutes to load for some reason.
September 27, 2007 at 6:31 pm
Mine is taking about 2-3 minutes, that gets really annoying. Thanks

This just got me so excited for the release!!

Hey the big news was a jersey creator on the live site. What a let down but if you enter you can win some signed basketballs and shoes.
September 27, 2007 at 7:06 pm
I actually think there may be more to it than that. I believe there will be another blog posting on the EA site with more details tomorrow.

is kobe or any of the other new usa team on there
September 27, 2007 at 7:45 pm
Pasta, I have a theory…I know the game plays smooth and the dunks are fast. How about speeding up the game to see if the game speed matches the dunk speed.
September 27, 2007 at 7:53 pm

September 27, 2007 at 8:36 pm
any fatigue issue in this one, Padre?
September 28, 2007 at 12:59 am
I like the net movement..it flow smoothly as the ball goes in…also the dribbling motion..pretty much like 2k but yet they improve some motions of the player and the lightings are far different from live 07…im looking forward for it this Oct.2…hope my expectation to this game would satisfy me…not to disappoint me like what it did on live 07…i hate live 07…really disappointing..especially movements and gameplay…hope this one have some improvements…im gonna buy this as well as i will buy nba 2k8 also which will release on Oct.2 also…
September 28, 2007 at 1:21 am
2k8 is the one for me.then 2k9…2k20.:)
Team germany sucks.Pick hellas(greece).It’s the team that last year scored 101 points against team USA.:)PROUD

to Artoficial, wow the stats really are pretty bad, for tmac at least, i mean ok 82 speed??? are u kidding me the guy runs like a 4.5 in 40yd dash, n he has the lowest passing and court vision out of kobe and dwade? noo way tmac is one of the best passers in the league, and 73 3pt shot??? same with kobe, kobe n mac should be 82-85 at 3pts n tmacs mid range is good, and good think his dunk rating is 93, cuz i thought it was lower beacuse in some website it showed top 20 dunkers and tmac wasnt there,i guess they just forgot about him, good thing you can change the stats yourself because dwade last year was not better than tmac, tmac should be at least 94-95 and kobe 98-99, and how is tmac not 90 in clutch??? i dont remember the last time he missed a game winning shot, he usually performs the best in the 4th too and not too good in the 1st half, w/e though roster updates better fix this
