    Here is another full game broken down by quarter. In this FIBA matchup Germany faces off against the United States. This one is played on All-Star difficulty and to me is by far better than the two games I have posted previously. I made sure to do a few go-to moves in there as well. Of note, these are the default FIBA rosters. EA has stated they will release roster updates which will include adding Kobe Bryant to the US roster around the release date. This will probably be the last sig...

    *Last updated in afternoon of Friday 9/28 So through the comments many different questions and requests have been made. I'll try to respond to some of them here. I'll add some as I go over the coming days (haven't got enough time in playing to answer certain ones) but wanted to get some up now. First some online related info: They have added the EA Locker. It states you can share rosters and scenarios with those on your friends list. The roster sharing from the Locker was great for ...

    Here is the video I put together displaying the Go-To Moves of many players from the practice gym. After finishing it up I realized how dark the gym is so it may be difficult to make out the player. At the very least you should be able to get an idea of their moves through the video that plays in the upper right corner (for some reason no video plays for Steve Nash or Allen Iverson). Included are 24 different players: Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Steve...

    Here is another full game from NBA Live 08, this one has the Detroit Pistons facing off against the Orlando Magic on Superstar difficulty. I've gone over a lot of what I like about the game through my community event and demo impressions so it would be redundant for me to talk more about those things right now. I do have a few comments to make on the first couple games I've played. As I've mentioned in the comments it's difficult for me to assess the game very well when I'm recording becaus...

    As soon as I got my copy of NBA Live 08 I jumped right into a game without adjusting anything. It defaulted to Superstar difficulty. This game features the Houston Rockets @ Seattle Sonics. It is broken down by quarter, each running about eight minutes long. The next thing I'll be working on is a video made up of go-to moves in the practice gym. If you have any specific players you'd like to see their moves demonstrated drop the names in the comments. Continue on to view the videos. ...

    I found these images buried in a recent asset CD that I received from EA in preparation for the NBA Live 08 release. They obviously weren't intended to be included on the disc but since they were I feel at liberty to display them on the site. They are in relation to March Madness 08 which makes these screens the first to be revealed from the game. They appear to be detailing improvements made to the uniforms, player models, and t-shirts. Click the thumbnails below to view the screensh...

    I have been informed that my copy of NBA Live 08 should arrive on Wednesday the 26th. Once I have it in hand I'll try and post up some full game videos, put together my impressions and compare/contrast with what I played back in June at the Community Event, see if I can get some early online impressions up, and try to get some questions about the game answered including player ratings! If you have questions or things you'd like me to look for feel free to leave them in the comments for ...
