Yeah my bad to if i came off the wrong way. Just trying to explain something in writing is always tuff. But, I did like live and both 2k games. Im waiting for MM08 to come out because i can only play one bball game. I still have all 3 games and im waiting to see which i will keep because of the 4, 3 of them will be traded in for Assassins Creed and and wii. So will see. I never listen to those reviews on ign either. I think there all biased to some sort of degree. Im they all have advertisments for all the game and it just bothers me when they rate games that are clearly better than the score they give. For example the gave NBA 2k8 a 7.8 or something and gave NBA 08 (sony) a 7.6. I played NBA 08 and it is clearly not .2% points lower than 2K. that to me shows some kind of biased or they are crazy. Thats why i value guys like pasta and playmakers and anyone else on these kind of sites opinion. There not here for anything else than give there opinions. IMO atleast thats what i feel. Anyway, again its all good. Ill be on tues night around 7pm with my thoughts. Its not like anyone will read them and care about what i think. Its all good. Yeah my bad to if i came off the wrong way.

I like the 2k games better myself.. I tried to play live but without all of Playmakers edits I cant stand it but it actually plays decent with all the mods. I love nba2k8 its play my kind of basketball with spacing, player movement, crowd, animations etc. I only got some sliders didnt have to mess with anything else. Choops is my game, I love everything about it, especially how the cpu plays knowing who the star is on the team, running plays, crowd etc. The flow of the game just matches up with actually watching a game to me. I really am thinking bout getting MM08 but I gotta see some player reactions to what they think of the game I have never trusted the ign or gamespot of the world. So Ill be looking for ur impressions in here, it would be much appreciated. My bad if I came of the wrong way bro.. I have all the games also. I like the 2k games better myself..

I go to games, I played in high school and played in college, and almost got a tryout to go over seas so to comment on you statement. NO i dont think it looks like that. Neither does Choops. Which is also a good game which i am still playing. If you go back to my comments I never said it plays like college ball. I said it looks like college ball. that doesnt mean just the gameplay. Even your first question as to even how we got to this point says "how does a game look like college basketball?" I never said that. I havent played the game to say that. but i will let you know what I think of the game as soon as it comes out. I will be picking up the game on tues around 7pm ET time. So ill let you know what I think and how it "plays". Have you played Choops2k8 at all? If you have what do you think of the way it plays? Ive played NBA 2k8, Live 08 and as i said choops 2k8. and I think both 2k8 games play alike. More zones and pressing in choops but for the most part i dont feel any different playing the two. I was very impressed with Live though. I think EA is doing a better job with there hoops games. so im very excited to play MM. What are your thought of those games? if youve played them.

U explained yourself just fine Dirty. Its just IMO I dont think u can say that from those vids that the game plays like a college basketball game, I go to games all the time and they dont look like that. I just dont think u can say that it does and just like everyone else u will be looking for sliders to make it play better. I would like to know your impressions when u get the game and tell me if teams use the shot clock and play team basketball whenever u get the game bro.

I was trying to get you to understand what I was saying. However, you didnt and jtdribbles did. So thats life. Have you played the game yet? I know I havent but pasta and some other guys have. They put up there impressions on the game. What they like and what they didnt like. So why is it that you want me to make you understand what I mean. You havent questioned pasta or some of the other guys that have said some things. That I dont understand. So if you dont get it then Im done explaining myself. Anyway, I like what I have seen so far. Cant wait to play an entire game. I wasnt trying to get a tag partner. I was trying to get you to understand what I was saying. However, you didnt and jtdribbles did. So thats life.

If u look at the videos there isnt any offence being run its just freestyle, in the first vid a total of 2 players touch the ball and shot within 10 sec. And "YOU" wrote that college basketball takes there time with the play clock. Check out the vids bro.. And once again tell me how watching the vids that it looks more like college basketball. The courts might be different but it looks like it plays like live to me.[/quote] Ok once again. This is my opinion. If you disagree thats perfectly fine. Your are intitled to your opinion and Im intiitle to mine. IMO it "LOOKS" like the players are playing more of a team game. So in the first vid 2 players touched the ball. OK, that does happen in college and NBA. jtdribbles really understands what I mean. If you dont you dont. Theres nothing I can do about that. Im just trying to explain what I mean. Like I said if dont understand what im trying to get it at sorry for not making understand. jtdribbles understands what im trying to get at. So atleast someone does.
