You must be getting on your own nerves sdot. Think you have a personal problem there. Enough people have called you out on here where I don’t even need to reply to this.

I’m not saying 2K9 or LIVE are going to be failures, but for people to stake claim that 2K8 is best basketball game out there doesn’t hold much merit. If you check out the Madden game, it is held to a much higher standard. Granted people have their gripes about it, but the game in itself is phenomenon, because people expect so much out of it. Every year we demand something new from it, innovative. As for the NBA games in the past…there has been no true innovation. For NBA Live it was the free style analog stick, and for the 2K it was the shot stick. How long has it been? This year however, I’m really starting to be impressed. Normally I set back and just watch and I’m ho-hum, but this year both franchises are doing good things, which should give both flavors a more lasting appeal to their respective gamers.

I buy both versions of the basketball games. I play them both equally. I prefer neither one over the other. They both have their strong points, they both have their weaknesses. But thank you for seeing what I was getting at JUDA, it wasn’t an attack, but homeboy had to get schooled.

well jr i have to agree with you homie 2k8 is the best of the bad. through my reading of the comments left by you and sdot buddy is quite the fanboy. either way it goes it looks as though each game is trying to improve on their greatest flaws LIVE 09 gameplay and as always features. 2K9 we should see a vast improvement graphically. ea aquired a couple of guys from 2K to work on their gameplay mechanics. 2K decided to get their graphics together. i will more than likely purchase them both to see wich one will be aborbing the majority of my time. so if you are a fanboy be one but for me whoever makes the better game will get the starting postion the other will ride the pine

LOL, once again, when did I ever say LIVE was better? You keep on saying “2K8 is better than live.” You keep on bringing NBA Live up. Why? They are both terrible basketball games, with just 2K8 being better of the two bad games. LOL. Seriously man, you’re becoming the biggest troll on here and I’m done putting energy into you because your fanboyism has gotten the best of you. You’re missing the point EACH and EVERY single time.

fam i’m NOT a 2k fanboy you SLOW i’ve bought EVERY LIVE since 96 – 06 xbox version (I have not purchased any of the next gen 1’s) i’ve only bought 2k over live the last 2 yrs

now you claim I haven’t backed up my statements with evidence fam have you watched the vidz on Youtube by man MCELTIC he’s the 1 that got me too give live up i’m mean you can actually re-create highlights from real life and ACTUALLY have them look like the REAL thing I mean their is just so many more moves in 2K compared 2 Live now have you seen any Live vidz that come close to the Level of MCELTICS vidz if you can show me 1 vid that’s better than his

sdot, your biased is obvious and it shows that you don’t read anything. Why even come on here? 2K has their own message boards for uninformed people like yourself. NBA video games have both been horrible, deeply flawed. Yet you defend it and can’t think of just cause as to why its a great game. In your opinion its a great game because it’s better than the rest. That doesn’t make it a great game, it just doesn’t happen to be bad as the others. You’ve kept on replying but offering no substance, just your biased fanboyism of your 2K franchise. Enough said, people have called you out enough on here. Real gamers please be analytical and not a fan boy. Thanks.

fam are SLOW or something you feel that the game isn’t that good in ur opinion which has NOTHING 2 do with what i’m saying i;m saying 2K is a very good if not great game as was 2k5 so if some 1 thinks that joe johnson & brandon roy are good but KOBE is the best that means a lot what are you slow or dumb

Last years 2K8 screen shots were nice, but are they actual game play screen shots or an artist rendition? My money is on the later, but that is something that they should have been able to improve on since jumping to next gen in 2006. We’ll see.
