NBA Live jersey creator contest
by 
The announcement that has been hinted at over the past week or so in relation to Live is the EA Sports NBA Live 08 jersey contest.
Using the jersey creator program on the website you can design your own completely unique jerseys. Entries will be accepted through November 16th. The winning submission may become downloadable content for Live 08 in addition to the top three receiving prizes.
If you create any jerseys and upload them to the gallery feel free to post a link to them in the comments or email it to me and I’ll feature them in a future posting.
I suspect there may be more to the contest than what has already been revealed. There should be a blog on the EA website today (Friday) going over all the details.

You do realize that the EA employes who created this most likely have nothing to do with creating the game.

THIS WOULD BE TIGHT IF U COULD DOWNLOAD THEM TO UR FAVORITE TEAM OR SOMETHING LIKE THT. WE HAD TO WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR THIS!

Just as I thought. The guy blogging at the EA site got overly horny over something so trivial in comparison to what the fans of the title really want, SOLID GAMEPLAY he makes a big deal out of nothing. This is the very hype machine that makes EA look silly regardless who it’s coming from it’s part of the EA propaganda.
I say fix the things in the game you advertise as NEW features in gameplay. Like the players standing around not jostling or getting after the rebounds.
Note to EA and Fans for asking for trivial shit like throwbacks. Make a solid game first that does all the things advertised.

Hum…what a letdown. But I said it all along that it would be a contest or something like that. I’m still going for Live 08 anyways. But NBA 2K8 is simply rocking my world these days. The demo has won me over. Previously I had Live as my top pick this year, now, I’m looking foward for that little green box with CP3 on the cover. But I say Live will hold its own this year, the game is good. But 2K is downright excellent.

I totally agree with Dantecamp. Live will be ok, but where is your coverage on 2k8 Pasta? I hope you at least played the demo, what are your impressions?
September 28, 2007 at 8:59 am
anyone that played the 2k demo for ps3, i played it last night and it changed my opinion completly, if 2k is like that LIVE will destroy the game, it is horrible, no commentary, they all wearing the same sneakers, no announcer, just horrible at least the demo was, i hope both live and 2k games are good honestly cuz if live were to just buy nba license it would be boring only having one nba game, because live does not have the same dominance madden has. although i like live a lot better
September 28, 2007 at 9:11 am
WELL I AGREE 2K ISNT ALL THT BUT IT WILL HAVE COMMENTARY IN FINAL VERSION, BUT TO ME GRAPHICS ARENT AS GOOD AS LIVE. THEY HAVE SOME BETTER ANIMATIONS BUT THATS IT IF U ASK ME. IM GETTING LIVE THIS YEAR TO ME LAST YEARS LIVE WAS AN 4 ON A SCALE OF 1-10 ,BUT THIS YEAR IS AN EASY 8 I THINK. NO GAME WILL BE PERFECT NOT EVEN 2K.

Folks, 2K obviously will have play-by-play. They just ripped this aspect from the demo in order to ship it in a reasonable small file (less than 400 mg). I’m still excited for Live, but 2K8 is just getting better as I play. Once you get over the not so hot player models, you’re in for a fantastic experience. One important thing that Pasta brought to the table yesterday and it wasn’t that much clear: the editing aspect in Live 08. Pasta, can you edit players’ gears (armbands, sneakers, etc…) in the game? If not, this will be a HUGE step backwards at least for me. I’m such an editing enthusiast, this will be a tough blow. Please check it with EA, maybe your early copy doesn’t have this feature. Thanks.

yeah i know they are going to fix it from the demo..but the players did not look as well as Live does and im not just saying that, because i like both games but each have their problems. I dont like the hot spot thing for 2k, i dont think that will work as well, but i will give them that they do have all of the tattoos lebron james has in 2k lol and the live demo really didnt, maybe they fixed that? hmm no biggie lol overall i will most likely get both games but i think live might be the better one

I have never been a fanboy of any company. However, I am a fanboy of great gameplay.
EA’s Live series has struggled. The demo was extremely impressive, visually and gameplay-wise.
2K is a solid title but the demo looks the same and plays the same as the previous years. If the gameplay is solid then changes are necessarily needed. However, I expect that if I am going to drop another $60 I want more than a roster update. The graphics are ragged. The player models are nice from a distance but once you zoom in, whoah….Even the faces are off kilter.
To me, 2K has taken a step backwards. This is my impression of the demo. The final build may be more impressive but I think Live will get back in the game this year.

Oh, and as far as the announcement goes, very weak. If the uniforms could be created and available for download (swap jerseys with friends ala Forza 2) that would have been cool news.
For some reason, EA has jipped the consumer of many extras over the past two years. The lack of uniform options, although a small thing, is a joke. Not just in NBA Live, but in all sports games. There is no reason that EA cannot include every uniform that every team has worn. To bust out the Sixers jerseys when Dr. J played or the old Atlanta Hawks jerseys when the Human Highlight Reel played would be sweet.
Instead, EA is relying on the consumer to do their work.

eski i agree they should have all of the uniforms like they did with live on the ps2, and the announcers should sound more excited when calling the names after a score or intro…at least for the top players in the game im sure its nott tooo hard to get one good announcer to come in and record names as he does in the games

The billion dollar question, can we use these ingame? 100,000 dollar question, how many can we make per team?

Dantecamp,
I agree with you on that the more you play the 2K8 demo the better it gets. I think we are truly fortunate this year to have both camps deliver a solid product. Live is just down right fun with the arena atmosphere and smooth frame rate (not a boring moment really). But there is just something about the 2K8’s gameplay, player animations and insanely intelligent AI. The scary part is the demo is very basic and an early build i’m sure and it’s already this good. The addition of the play diagram that will show you how to run players properly is what pushes it past EA’s live for me, thats a huge feature in terms of playing authentically. The huge downer for me with live 08 is the players once again just standing around not getting after plays or the rebounds aggressively enough. 2K8 has also expanded real maker and its kick ass.
my opinion it won’t be a waist to buy ether game or both for that matter.

This is the news we’ve all been waiting 2 weeks for? The news that was supposed to be “big”? What a joke.
