Customer Reviews

Could be better
Major flaw: Collision detection.
For whatever reason, EA has never really gotten the whole collision detection thing with it's NBA Live series. Players tend to slip and slide around each other and there is no real sense that playing defense is even remotely possible. I don't know how many times I've played this game online and watched someone dominate on the inside with a mediocre-at-best big man. It's so frustrating!!

With that being said...if you're looking for a run and gun, fast break basketball game...this is your game! It is fun to just cut loose and see how many points you can score. But if you are partial to fundamental, team basketball...this might be a bit of a disappointment.

NBA 08!!
Live 08 puts 09 to shame. I really enjoy playing seasons each year on the game and making my team better each year.

Arcade Fun
I love this game. I have heard many complains, that this game is to arcadish and that NBA 2K8 is far more realistic. It might be, but if you want to have a realistic basketball expirence go outside and step on the court. If you want to have a great arcade expirence grab NBA LIVE 08.
