NBA Live OTP night five
With the new roster update out this week's NBA Live 08 OTP being set up for tomorrow should be entertaining. Since it is All-Star Saturday night we'll begin playing earlier than usual @ 3pt/6et. I'm going to attempt to record the games and get them posted up along with recaps by Monday. The first matchup will be Suns @ Lakers. Vote below for the second game from a short list of choices I put together. Update: The suggestion was made to play the ASG. So the second game will be East @ We...

NBA Live OTP night four recap
There was only one game on night four of NBA Live 08 OTP which had the Chicago Bulls @ LA Clippers. It turned out to be one of the cleanest played games thus far even though one side was in control the entire way throughout. Where some of the earlier games had a frantic pace and predominantly centered on quick scores and easy baskets, this one had a more controlled pace and came down to half court offense and rebounding. The rebounding discrepancy tells the story of the game. Chris Kama...

NBA Live OTP night four
Another session of NBA Live 08 online team play will go on tonight (Friday) with a meet-up in the created pastapadre lobby room at 5pm PT / 8pm ET. The game will be recorded and I'll be taking down the stats for a recap. Due to different circumstances I'm limited to just taking part in one game tonight and won't be available tomorrow but I still wanted to attempt to get one in. The next roster update (currently scheduled for around All-Star Weekend) will bring some matchups that have adde...

Next NBA Live OTP night
This week the NBA Live OTP will take place on Saturday (2/2) beginning at 5PT/8ET. Two more games will be played and likely recorded with recaps and videos going up by Monday. Same procedures to be followed as the first two nights (meet in the pastapadre created lobby room with password otp). Vote in the poll for the two matchups to be played. I've tried again to put together teams that are relatively even and aren't dominated by a single superstar. Update: Based on the voting it'll be...

NBA Live OTP night two recap
Both of the second night games were evenly matched and well played. I've definitely noticed improvement as everyone playing has gotten more comfortable with the mode, their assignments, and communication. One aspect I haven't really written much about is how great it is to have communication with only your teammates. Next year hopefully they'll have more ways to take advantage of that (setting picks, posting up, ect). Despite that it is tough getting back on defense to prevent easy hoops bec...

NBA Live OTP night one recap
Another two games of NBA Live 08 OTP will be played tonight and after the success of the first night I'm really looking forward to it. The games were a lot of fun and it was nice to have some teamwork and ball distribution to go along with no lag to speak of. The six minute quarters seemed to be the right length as well. Just a great experience all around. Both games had 3 users on each team with the other two players controlled by the CPU. Thanks to everyone who participated. Tonight the...

NBA Live 08 OTP night one
This evening brings the first PP NBA Live 08 OTP night (360) and thanks to the voting we have the matchups for the two scheduled games. The time to be there is 5pt/8et with the first game starting up promptly (even if not completely full). Head to the user created room pastapadre and the password will be OTP. From there I will create the game and send invites. I believe I'll have to invite from my friends list so once in the room and situated send me a friend request if you aren't already...

First NBA Live 08 OTP nights
The voting has been going now for a few days and it has come in strongly towards Friday and Saturday. So this week lets shoot for opening up a lobby room on both nights and trying to get a couple good games of Online Team Play in on the 360. 360 permitting (status is questionable right now) I'll be able to hop on both evenings at 5pt/8et and play through at least one if not two games. I'd likely record at least one to post up on the site soon after completion. Spots won't be held they'll ...

NBA Live 08 OTP impressions
After playing through several games of Online Team Play in NBA Live 08 I've been able to form some initial thoughts on the mode. This is really a unique way to play the game and seems to be the natural evolution of online play. It had been a big success in NHL 08 and FIFA 08 and that is definitely the case with Live as well. Controlling a single player in a basketball game is probably the most natural and engaging of all the sports. Any configuration of up to five on five is allowed. It i...

NBA Live 08 OTP Night
With the recent release of Online Team Play for NBA Live 08 on the 360 it seemed natural to coordinate a night where everyone can hop on and find some quality OTP action. I'm going to be posting up my impressions of the mode by Monday but after having completed a couple games I can say it's an extremely fun and a unique experience. There may be some prizes given away randomly however this is not so much a competition as it is a get together just for some fun games. Hopefully we'll be able...
