Paul Pierce layup NBA Live 08

This game features the Miami Heat facing off against the new look Boston Celtics and is played on All-Star difficulty.

A couple notes:

I’ve seen comments in different places about the aggressiveness of point guards and that is true to a certain extent. You’ll need to play good defense on them otherwise they’ll drive the lane or pull up on you. However there is a big difference depending on who the PG is. Face Jason Kidd and he’ll terrorize you when you’re controlling Earl Boykins (trust me on this one) but here Jason Williams wasn’t really a big concern of mine.

I noticed a few auto-subs made in this game for the CPU. I doubt it was necessary given the little fatigue that comes off with the default settings, but that should mean you’d see more in longer games, or especially if adjusting sliders.

I’m going to attempt to get up one game video tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday. I’m looking at Chicago @ LA Lakers and Charlotte @ Atlanta. If you have requests for the thrid matchup make them in the comments. Sorry that I won’t be able to get everyone’s teams in obviously but I’ll choose at random from the suggestions.

I’ll also try and add some more responses in the questions/answer posting (added a few regarding dynasty today). I hope to record at least one online game as well, possibly tomorrow.

Continue on to view the videos.

*****QUESTION*****

I noticed no one has asked this and you haven’t address this so here it is: You know how in the demo (at least on PS3)when you first go to the arena they show Gilbert Areans and his eyes are crosseyed, is this glitch still in the final build? (I also noticed this happens in the game as well.

Also is the game speed up when players dunk or do moves slowed down at all or did you have to adjust sliders to correct this problem?

Thanks Pasta!

Lovin Live but it seems like Shaq never got the ball, he should get the ball way more.Also GTMs could be used more too as far as the CPU. I wonder what a CPU vs CPU game would be like?

Oh and a Suns game would be great,but not GS I am tired of seeing them. Lakers would be the best b/c everyone Im sure wants to see all of kobe’s GTMs. So Suns vs Lakers.
ron

Yeah, are there any new brands like Converse and and 1?
Also does Gilbert Arenas where the Gil 20?

the heat don’t play like the heat.. the ball rarely went to shaq… and shaq wasn’t even establishing position… in reality almost every play goes through shaq.. some bad ai logic here

For the people wanting to know about the shoes in the game, prepare to have your hopes dashed: Pasta just confirmed me today that you can’t edit/change any gear in the game. That’s right. If your baller came with a miss-placed armband, knee brace or even a wrong pair of sneakers, that’s it. What a MAJOR letdown. I don’t understand why the developers rip a feature that’s been staples in the series for years. I love editing my rosters. If it’s mid-season and Kobe decides to go with a headband and long socks, I won’t be able to re-create that in my game now. I thought that was part of the authenticity of the experience. Live 08 lost some serious momentum with me. It’s all about the little details. I know there are other things to adress that may have more importance gameplay wise. But we know they have the technology to give the user the ability to edit his own players because it’s been there for years. I’m so pissed right now.

Any word on the fatigue?? I hate to think it’s not a part of the game at all. Are there sliders that can be used to adjust it? Sorry for the basic questions, but I have not been a hoops guys for many years as the games haven’t looked good enough for me.

Thanks,

Chad
