NBA Live 08 full online game: Kings @ Warriors
by 
I was able to record a ranked online game against a random opponent. He had the Sacramento Kings against my Golden State Warriors.
Once again the experience had absolutely no lag or frame rate issues. Gameplay wise you’ll see it is a little more open going up against another user. He ended up getting hot from the outside in the 2nd half and I didn’t do much to adjust to it. However I came at him with the Warriors up-tempo style throughout. Who ended up with the victory?
Continue on to check out the videos as broken down by quarter.

I’m not the biggest Live fan anymore. Haven’t been for some time. But I’ve gotta admit that i’m EXTREMELY impressed with this online game that was played with absolutely no lag. It was so seamless…almost like the opponent was sitting right next to you pasta. Gotta give kudos to Live. Having seen the full version of 2K8, I still FIRMLY believe that it’s a superior game to Live, but it looks as if Live is back with a bang after being AWOL in 07′. The fact that Live is much improved this year and 2K is rock solid once again will only force the two companies to push the envelope and continue to create high quality basketball games which means we’ll all win (2K and Live fans).

I’m still very much on the fence between Live and 2k.
I was, however, very impressed with the “loudness” of the Oracle Arena; the crowd’s chants seemed so lifelike! I love the graphics, but am not sold on the gameplay quite yet. You know 2k will deliver the gameplay so its a tough decision.

Could you post the entire roster of the Toronto Raptors? And if possible, their ratings.

Wow, looks great. I am onboard, will pick it. Man, your opponent had one shot over and over. Shame he almost won, good job down the stretch. I sure would like to see more fatigue involved, but I hope that’s something my friends and I can do with sliders online.

O man PP, you just made my day with this. You did well with my Golden State Warriors. Good job with the win. =]

@Iverson4Life: It seemed so life-like because it was. I remember reading a blog entry on Live by one of the producers (over at IGN I think) that stated they actually recorded the crowd at the Oracle when the Warriors knocked out the Mavs in game six. Loud indeed!!

Hey pasta, is Manu Ginobili on the Argentenian squad in this game? If so, can you post a game with Argentina? Thanks

This looks really good to me. No lag whatsoever and gameplay seems fluid when playing against a human opponent. It did seem real easy to run and gun and it looked to be effective also. Defense may become a problem with cheesers online.
I noticed that your opponent didn’t bother to defend himself on ball.
the game looks good to me so far. I guess i’ll see what it’s about soon. Since i’m in the netherlands i will have to wait longer than mostof you guys, but i will see yall online.

wow check out the last part of this review, this shit kills me. What a bullshit statement.
http://www.gamestop.com/article_viewer.asp?article_id=27020&product_id=270101#27020
“Sure, the game’s better than it was last year, but this series is far from being good. So baby steps–even if they’re in the right direction–just won’t cut it. The bottom line is NBA 08 is not a good game, and there’s no reason to play it.”

All I can say about the gamestop review is that you cant go by what other peoples opinions are, you have to play the game for yaself and make ur own judgement
with that being said to all my TRUE NBA LIVE FANS.. Tomorrow is the Day.. Pasta, Great online vid.. also, good job towards the end of game down the stretch..
October 1, 2007 at 11:37 am
like sdot927 said…
that review was posted for NBA 08, not Live 08.
That’s for sure a mess up by gamestop like they always do!
I was very scared at first, but realized there is no way Live 08 could get a score like that!
October 1, 2007 at 1:39 pm
YH HOPEFULLY IGN WILL HAVE A REVEIW LATER ON TONIGHT. QUESTION, WHY WOULD I RESERVE LIVE FROM GAMESTOP WHEN I CAN GET IT AT TARGET AT 8AM???
October 1, 2007 at 1:55 pm
So Pastapadre which do you think is better NBA Live 08 or NBA 2k8?
October 1, 2007 at 2:53 pm
NUGGETS VID PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 1, 2007 at 2:54 pm
How do you get the vid straight from the 360 to your computer?? I really want to know because I’m always playing videogames and want to make a vid, but I have to film the TV with a digital camera (very bad quality)
October 1, 2007 at 3:55 pm
umm i notice there is a lot of missing in this game..the shooting must be terrible lol and some people complain about too many shots being made
October 1, 2007 at 6:09 pm
all star weekend
October 1, 2007 at 6:11 pm
NBA ALL STAR WEEKEND PLEASE
October 1, 2007 at 7:04 pm
pasta do you know if the last episode of NBA Live:Uncovered where it suppose to show Gilbert Arenas and the winner from last year compitition, will play each other….plzzz let me knowww…if you saw it can you post it here thnks pasta.
October 1, 2007 at 7:53 pm
in one of the commercials it obviously wasnt gameplay, but it was gilbert arenas with a game winning shot…does he really turn around before the shot goes in with a game winning shot??? and do more players do specific celebrations??? like kobes fist pump, tmacs punch(the one he did against san antonio 13pts, 30seconds, best comeback ever lol)
October 1, 2007 at 7:59 pm
jeff:
i saw kobe’s fist pump in the bulls lakers video
October 1, 2007 at 8:17 pm
oh ok thanks…was it a game winning shot??? im gonna get both because i think 2k has more signature things, and i like the 24/7 and street modes…but live has the best graphics and i think both will be good games
October 1, 2007 at 8:26 pm
it was after a dunk, 2nd qtr 4:15 mark.. could have been a generic celebration though
October 1, 2007 at 9:30 pm
is Varejao in the game?
October 1, 2007 at 10:13 pm
I am really looking forward to have it on my computer!!
October 2, 2007 at 12:17 am

October 2, 2007 at 6:28 am
I was very disapointed about EA after 2006 and 2007 nba live but now I believe that this game is better that any other basketball games [I mean about EA's production] so I can’t wait to get this game on pc, but if it will be as sucky as it was nba live 2006 or 2007 i woun’t buy or play any other Live produckts
October 2, 2007 at 11:09 am
this is the best basketball game ever
the graphics is awsome the arenas ,the fans ,coaches,
players on the bench sweating moving around looking behind them, talking to each other on the bench
the fans jumping out of there seats when there team is winning, this game has everything . the game play is
great the moves the dunks an the layups NBA LIVE 08
has improve alot on there layups they layups are authentic as is the dunks . every player on the game has his own layups an special dunks special moves in the paint. they even got TIM DUNCAN shooting the ball off the back board just like he does in real life
i played NBA 2K8 . the game play is real just like NBA LIVE 08 but the players bodies don’t look real there faces look real its like they look like the boble heads
NBA LIVE 08 is perfect in everyway its more realistic
than 2k8 the players look better game play is better
an on 2k8 every player even the scrubs can do awsome layups an thats not real each star player on nba live 08 has ther own signature move
October 2, 2007 at 2:37 pm
sweet as!
October 2, 2007 at 5:03 pm
To any1 out there with the game yet i live in australa and so i havnt played this yet and i was wonderin wat kobe bryant normal jumpshot looks lik also d-wade pasta could you please either post a vid or descrbe PLZZZ
October 3, 2007 at 8:35 pm
qdog:
I couldn’t agree with you more man! This game just is plain awesome! I honestly cannot believe just how good some of the player models are! I am so proud to play as Allen Iverson that looks, and I’m not exaggerating, exactly like his real-life counterpart…I love it!
This game really is better than 2k8. Its just how I feel and believe me I loved 2k7 last year and played it so much my xbox eventually ate it.
But I digress, if you are on the fence, then allow me to push you off in favor of Live 08!
October 4, 2007 at 11:39 am
You shoulda subbed in belinelli and wright. i wanna see what they can do in the game! 2k series and live are starting to look more and more alike. the movements are getting more real each year.
October 4, 2007 at 6:31 pm
Does Anybody know when the first Roster update is? And did anybody notice that the USA team doesnt have the right ppl on it, it doesnt even have Jason Kidd or Kobe???
December 2, 2007 at 11:16 am
