Hey guys I'm back to give you guys feedback on the new game, NBA 2k8! (P.S. thanks tony.psd for the game cover I definitely printed that out and put it on my case!)

"Controls & Functions"

Anyways the game play overall is very difficult at first for "first-time" NBA 2k players. There are many new functions that have been added into the game although for me, these were not hard to adapt to due to the fact that the buttons are in similar order except certain buttons have been changed.

For an example, the "B" button no longer has the function of a "lead pass." For some strange reason they have taken this function. out. Now the button has no function at all. This is probably due to the fact that most likely they have created a better, a much smarter A.I. system allowing the in-game player to realize certain situations such as fast breaks, allowing them to act accordingly.

"In-Game Gameplay"

Now to the good stuff! Of course the people who are as crazy about 2k just as much as how people are crazy about Madden, we all know that the 3-pointer (If you're actually a legit NBA 2ker) was easily perfected on the "Hall of Fame" difficulty level. In this new NBA 2k8, you may have the talent of shooting the ball perfectly, but it may not always go in.

The game although is very beautiful in as sense that the design is awesome. The crowd is very active, they seem to have much more personality. The players also now can interact with the crowd in the first row, there are much more player expressions, even ones that have them interacting with other players. You now have the referees as objects on the court meaning that they are alive, they can be in your way at times causing you to lose the ball or you can use him as a screen. Another improvement was the running along the sideline feature; when you get close to the sideline, on the verge of going out of bounds, the player will force their bodies to stay in-bounds doing everything they can to stay in-bounds. The fouls have changed as well. There are much more expression when fouling. Some players foul hard, and others, not so much. You may be grabbed mid-air going for a dunk, you may be slapped across the forearms by another player going for a steal. The blocking is also another challenge gamers must face. You may get swatter the first few times you try to go to the hole so watch out! They CPU-Players have a much higher A.I. I.Q. They react very quickly to what you are doing, they recognize plays after constantly running them; they understand when players go with their left or right hand; they create their own mismatches; they understand the game!

Another addition to the game is the "Hot Spot" feature. This allows you to see where players like to take the majority of their shots. Their sweet spot essentially. Some players love the inside while others would rather play on the perimeter.

"The 2008 Golden State Warriors"

Now for your 2008 Golden State Warriors, they have  not changed much except for roster. But let me tell you they are awesome in the game! Much of the ratings have gone up which is expected since many of the players such as Matt Barnes have proven as much more deadly weapons offensively.

There are many updates that you can download to update the game as far as rosters through Xbox Live. On the Warriors, players such as Mikael Pitrus (Obviously), Troy Hudson and Kosta Perovic have not been added to the roster, these updates should take care of them.

Good Luck to the GSW's WE BELIEVE 2.0!

Thanks Guys.
