    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 used Play Now to get in my first online game with NHL 08 and captured it broken down into three videos by period. Overall the game played very smooth, very close if not identical to offline. I'll need to get some more games in (including the co-op) to make any determination as to ultimately how good the performance is but that is certainly encouraging. Other EA titles over the past few months did not start off this well.  As far as I can tell there is no way to change the difficulty ...

    Here is a full game with the CPU vs CPU displaying Superstar difficulty. It should give an idea of how the AI plays on this setting. This is an AHL matchup as the Toronto Marlies visit the Rockford IceHogs. If you watch anything make sure you watch the 3rd period and OT. Continue on to view the videos. (more…)...

    The previous two games were played on Pro, so I pushed this one up to All-Star. As a novice it was considerably tougher. I got out-shot by a wide margin and couldn't win a single faceoff. Overall the AI was much more aggressive as you'll see. I'll leave the analyzing of the video to everyone out there. This game features the Colorado Avalanche @ the St. Louis Blues and again is broken down by period into three videos. (more…)...

    I had an opportunity to capture another entire game of NHL 08. This one has the New York Rangers visiting the Buffalo Sabres. The videos are broken down by period, and in this case also overtime. I'll have more to add on Monday. Continue on to view the videos. (more…)...

    I went ahead and captured a full game which you can view below. It is broken down by period and each video runs approximately 6-7 minutes long. This was the first game played (not only with 08 but with any hockey game in years) and as such most of the time was spent attempting to feel things out. I'll have general impressions, online play details and impressions, and more videos up on Monday. Continue on to watch the videos (more…)...
