View Full Version : NBA Live 08
While attending the EA Canada Open House Event in Vancouver (British Columbia), PSU was given the opportunity to see many titles for the first time, including NBA Live 08. This will be the first year that EA brings the NBA Live series to the PS3, and from what we’ve seen so far it's looking solid.
Bringing everything back to basics
One of the first things that lead producer Brian Ulrich stated about Live 08 was that they plan to take everything back to the fundamentals of basketball. Some of the key focuses of development include passing, shooting, rebounding, dunks/lay-ups, offense/defense, post whistle, collisions, and locomotion. These are just some of the basics they are keying in on to bring more authenticity and enjoyment to the Live experience.

There will no longer be separate buttons for dunks and lay-ups, as the team decided to put them as the same button; based on certain situations and the particular player the AI will decide whether to put up a finger roll or dunk. This will hopefully bring more realism to the game, as Live 07 became an unrealistic dunk-fest once players found out that it was always easier to simply dunk.
Faster and Smarter
Outside of the control changes, some of the most impressive evolutions were in the advancement of AI and animations. EA has gone to great lengths to improve its locomotion technology and contextual AI, whereby players on the court will act more realistically in decision-making and physical movements. For example, Live 08 gamers will see their computer players make decisions to box out or swarm for the rebound more often, something we haven't really seen from a basketball title before.
In addition, collisions have been added to the game for air-to-air, air-to-ground, and ground movements. Instead of players flying through each other, collisions can knock players down, causing them to switch up a shot and lessening the probability of making a basket. Essentially, defensive players have mass and weight to stop you.

Although the improvements to AI sound great, there is another significant upgrade worth mentioning: this year, Live will be running at a smooth 60 frames per second, allowing for more realistic animations and faster gameplay.
With the game still in its early stages you can only hope that EA takes it's time to really polish the edges to turn this into a shining diamond. The new sideline camera, improved graphics and animations, and talk of using the SIXAXIS should help Live 08 finally take a significant step forwards in the genre.
NBA Live 08 is set to hit retail October 2nd.
Φιλε οι μεγάλες φωτογραφίες που έκανες edit δεν είναι από το ΝΒΑ Live 08 αλλα από ΝΒΑ 08. :D

βασικά απ'οτι έχω ακούσει δεν είναι σίγουρο αν θα είναι ο agend 0 στο cover...είχα διαβάσει οτι η ΕΑ κάνει κάτι σαν διαγωνίσμο..
Δεν ξερω ρε παιδια .Καλο το 08 αλλα δεν πιανει μια μπροστα στο 2κ7.Εγω ειμαι παλιος fun του 2κ και οπως και παρα πολυς κοσμος το προτιμα απο το 08.Το μονο που θυμαμαι απο παλια ειναι οτι το nba live ειχε καλα γραφικα αλλα απο gameplay υστερουσε παρα πολυ.Το αντοθετο βεβεα ηταν το 2κ.Ειχε πολυ καλο gameplay αλλα τα γραφικα ηταν καλα αλλα οχι οσο του nba live.Αμα δειτε προσφατα περιοδικα και κριτικες to 2k του ριχνει κατα πολυ.Ειναι μια αντιστοιχη περιπτωση του fifa-pro evolution.
Markus η EA έχει ήδη videos στο site της όπου ανακοινώνεται ότι ο Gilbert Arenas θα είναι στο εξώφυλλο του παιχνιδιού. Οποτε να αλλάξει αυτό είναι δύσκολο. Εξάλλου τα δυο screenshots που έδωσε στη δημοσιότητα είναι του Arenas...
δεν ξέρω...ίσος να είναι για διαφορετίκο εξώφυλλο δλδ σχεδιασμός κ χρώματα κ τέτοια :)
A λες να είναι σε άλλη πόζα:P στο 360 και σε άλλη στο PS3. Μπορεί αν και δεν συμβαίνει συχνά...
NBA Live 08: Go-To Basketball
EA revitalizes Live with four new features that let you play like an NBA superstar.
NBA Live has been in the crapper for the past few years. That is not up for debate. But the once proud series is hoping to make a miraculous comeback. Having never been much of a fan of EA's NBA series, I'll admit that I had little faith that Live could resurrect itself; it looks like I was wrong. With a new dedication to creating a true sim basketball -- and actually making it a challenge to drive to the hoop -- NBA Live 08 looks to be the start of a new era for EA hoops.
EA Canada's initiative for Live 08 is creating "Go-To Basketball." Every team has a go-to guy and the superstars have go-to moves that they rely on to create scoring opportunities. Getting the ball to the right player when he's in the right spot on the floor, with the best match up, is going to be key to racking up points this year. You can try to play Live like an arcade dunkfest, but you will likely end up with your ass planted on the parquet. You'll need to play smart with 08 and to your players' abilities. If not, expect the route to be on -- but not in your favor.
Live introduces four new features that bring the Go-To experience to the court:
1. Signature Go-To Moves: Beyond last year's Signature Shots, Live 08 recreates the tried-and-true moves of the NBA's greatest players.
2. Quick-Strike Ball Handling: Freestyle moves are gone, replaced with a deeper system of dribble moves and defensive counters.
3. Own the Paint: The post game has been completely remade and turned into a shot/countershot battle for positioning where size truly does matter.
4. Hot Zones: The standard three shooting zones (close, medium, 3-pt) have been broken up further into left, center, and right sections. Bruce Bowen loves shooting treys from the corners, but put him at the top of the arc and he's likely to brick.

Over the next few weeks, IGN will break down each element of Go-To Basketball. It may sound like a marketing buzzword, but take it from a longtime NBA 2K fan: Live 08 is the real deal.
| Go-To Moves |
Close your eyes and picture Kobe Bryant. There's only four seconds left on the shot clock. Kobe's eight feet out, back to the basket. Raja Bell is draped over Kobe, keeping him from driving to the hoop. What does Kobe do? If you've watched much basketball, you already know. He turns 180 and pulls up for a fadeaway jumper, his right leg kicking out as he pushes back. That's Kobe's go-to move. He does it all the time.
Now imagine the rest of the NBA's top players using their own Go-To Moves. There's no special button to press, no "power meter" to fill, no gimmicks. NBA Live 08 is about contextual moves. So when in a similar situation in Live 08, you can expect Kobe to pull that fadeaway, because that's who he is. That's how he plays.
The same can be expected from Dwayne Wade. He'll do his trademark hop-step jumper. Mav's fans can rest assured that Dirk's jumper is identical to the real thing. It even clanks off iron in pressure situations.
The Signature Go-To Moves aren't limited to jump shots. Dwight Howard has multiple power jams recreated with such care that you'll swear you're watching a Sportscenter highlight. Slip Tony Parker through a tight gap in the lane and he'll do his little flick runner. The only thing EA Canada didn't have time to add was the obligatory camera cut to Eva Longoria cheering on the sidelines. But hey, they have to save something for Live 09.
But what about Kidd or Nash, guys known for their fancy passing more than their sweet jump shots and dunks? A few Go-To passes are also in the game. And again, it's all contextual. The type of shot you take or pass you make is dependent on the ball handler and their position on the floor.
EA has been working on collecting Go-To moves for the past several years and decided it was time to finally put it in Live. The care taken with these moves can be seen in Practice Mode. Take D-Wade on the court and you can see a picture-in-picture NBA video of his moves in action while you practice. We tried to see AI's Go-To moves, but he didn't show up for practice.
Of course, ballers are made in big games, not in shootarounds. Whether it's in the paint, the top of the key or behind the arc, the superstars look and act like their real-life counterparts. Still, it's up to you to find the sweet spots on the floor and take advantage of defensive mismatches. Kobe may shoot like Kobe, but it won't matter much if you don't find ways to get him some spacing on the floor.
Signature Go-To Moves is just one of four pieces expected to breathe new life into EA's hoops game.

Είναι παρα πολύ καλές οι φωτογραφίες μονο που τα πρόσωπα τον περισσοτερων παιχτών δεν είναι αυτά που περίμενα όπως των Bryant, Ming, Parker. Επίσης τα πόδια τους είναι παρα πολύ λεπτά ρε παιδάκι μου. Είναι δυνατόν σχεδόν όλοι να έχουν τα πόδια του ...Iverson? :p
@Klepidas: Ναι όπως έβγαλε πέρυσι το ΝΒΑ '07 φέτος θα βγάλει το '08. Υπάρχει και ανάλογο topic

H Εθνική Ελλάδος στο NBA Live ‘08
http://www.contra.gr/images/NBA%20Live.jpg
Είναι παράπονο των ευρωπαίων φιλάθλων εδώ και χρόνια το γεγονός ότι η ΕΑ δεν έχει ασχοληθεί εντονότερα με το ευρωπαϊκό μπάσκετ. Είναι επίσης γεγονός ότι το εν λόγω άθλημα πέρασε τα πάνω και τα κάτω του, ωστόσο αυτή τη στιγμή βρίσκεται σε τέτοιο σημείο ώστε μεγάλοι αστέρες να δίνουν το «παρών» σε όλα τα πρωταθλήματα.
Σε αναγνώριση των παραπάνω, ο μεγαλύτερος ανεξάρτητος publisher αποκάλυψε πολυετή συμφωνία συνεργασίας με τη FIBA, έτσι ώστε οι μπασκετόφιλοι να μπορούν να απολαύσουν στο NBA Live ’08 τις εθνικές ομάδες Ισπανίας, Ελλάδας, ΗΠΑ, Γαλλίας, Γερμανίας, Ιταλίας, Αργεντινής και Κίνας.
Οι εν λόγω ομάδες θα είναι διαθέσιμες με το πλήρες ρόστερ τους στο Play Now, καθώς επίσης και στο νέο FIBA Championship Mode, το οποίο είναι ουσιαστικά ένα mini πρωτάθλημα ανάμεσα σε αυτές τις οκτώ.
Όπως αποδεικνύεται, η ΕΑ αρχίζει να ρίχνει ένα... λοξό βλέμμα στην Ευρώπη και κανείς δεν θα πρέπει να αποκλείει το ενδεχόμενο να δούμε στο άμεσο μέλλον κι ένα... FIBA Live. Ο τίτλος κυκλοφορεί και στη χώρα μας τον Οκτώβριο για PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii και PC.
Sxolio: An mi ti allo endiaferon tha elega...kairos htan re paidia...ego tosa xronia parakalao gia mia eyroliga se nba live...imarton pia sa na mhn yparxoume edo sthn eyroph...pelates amerikanakia pou...kai sto nba live!!!! :P
