you have to get that for sure. live is so horrible only thing good for it is that all star. but 2k8 makes me feel like im playing the game. im sad they took out fitz out of there for the past couple years, but yeah 2k8 for sure. and actually all the 2k series were better to me except 2k3 that was just a horrible dibacle that kept breaking.

have been better then Live... Live hasnt been good since the Genisis Days of Bulls Vs Lakers (early EA days). I bought a PS3 but dont have any games so this summer when NCAA and MADDEN come out, that will be the end of my 360 days until Halo 3 is out.  Im excited to see these sports games come out for the PS3.  Has anyone played any good sports titles on the PS3?

since dreamcast and not going to change anytime soon. Live has been virtualy unplayable for years now. There was three or four years that they didn't even have a useable camera angle. I will go with 2K8 for 360.

I've had NBA 2k battles and tornaments at my house for years... since the dreamcast days yo'. My friends and I have always had a knack for creating our own plays and strategy's night after night tryin' 2 out do each other on the court with different teams and play styles. I think it was the Jason Kidd cover of Live 04 I finally jumped on and realized how simplistic the game was, where as my friends and I had certain plays we comitted to in beating one another on the 2k series. I was the oddball of the group since I started playing both (I was 80% 2k and 20% live) last year I was invited to my 1st NBA live Tournament at the homies house... it was weird... all it was for 5 hours straight was dudes dunking at each other back and fourth, I remember seeing J-Rich's stats in a number of games averaging 73 points... when I stepped to plate I was forced to run and gun too because the guys didn't even play defense... They'd say "Go ahead kid, shoot it! I'll get the next dunk!" by the end of the game  peeps were winning by 2-3 dunks, tops. I prefer 2k simply because it's strategy too- I've had peeps beat me with the spurs so bad or use Phoenix and beat me with their up-tempo style. Live is all dunks and glamour... expect to see Foyle with 33 points (12 of them from the 3 point line!)

ever since 2000. Look at 97,98,99,2000 though, those games were the BOMB!

Eventually stuff happened and it went down the tubes when retooling for the Dreamcast/GCube/X-Box/PS2 Generation.

So, 2K came along and I realized how awesome it is!

But you can still go crazy with one player and cheese. Don't even get me started on how Dubz used Baron Davis....

My somewhat middle aged Gangsta' friends who peddle and hustle down my old neighborhood all play NBA Live... Everybody blazes up, drinks hard liquor and go at it (and cussin') with Live... While my College Buddies who are American Eagle, Old Navy wearin' Guacamole Pizza eatin and SMirnoff ice drinkin' homies play NBA 2k... I don't know where I fit myself because I play both... I think i'm the only guy who wears a Warriors Jersey with tanned Rockport loafers, lol.
