NBA Live 08 Go-To Moves video
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...
NBA Live 08 Full Game: Pistons @ Magic
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...
NBA Live 08 full game: Rockets @ Sonics
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.

NBA Live 08 coverage begins Wednesday
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 ...
NBA 2K8 soundtrack
The complete track listing for NBA 2K8 can be found below. The in-game soundtrack will also include music that harkens back to the roots of hip-hop, as well as an eclectic mix of songs from other genres that complement the virtual hoops action. As one of the music industry’s most influential producers, J Dilla inspired many artists, including Common, Q-Tip, Talib Kweli and Madlib, all of whom he had previously collaborated with in some fashion. These artists were tapped to keep J Dilla&r...
Exciting NBA Live 08 news coming?
A few days ago it was mentioned in a blog on the NBA Live 08 website that there would be exciting news regarding Live this week. However I have found out that whatever it is will not be revealed until Monday the 24th. No one really has a confident feel on what this news could be. Some have suggested the release date may be pushed up to next Tuesday, but its hard to believe EA would want to release Live on the same day as Halo 3. On the other hand it would still accomplish beating out ...

Patch being worked on for Madden 08
Yesterday EA tipped off that a patch is in the works for Madden 08 by releasing it prematurely for the PS3. As it was not complete it caused some problems and was retracted later in the day. Also the rosters on both the 360 and PS3 were rolled back to the original default set. It isn't known whether the two issues were related.
There was an update today to fix the rosters back but that does not represent the final patch that is being worked towards.
By releasing the patch before it was...
