PS3 NBA '08 / Int.

[backbreaker]

Some nice features and commentary is back. I'm loving some of the focus on sixaxis, using the motion controller independent of the body i.e. moving the ball around for better passing angles and the sixaxix defense looks promising.

nice read, I own 07, even thought it needs some help, it was a good game.

NBA 07 pretty much stunk, and this 08 version doesn't look much different from last year. If those pictures are from the 08 version, I must say I'm quite disappointed in the development team's lack of upgrades in the graphical department.

I played the demo, but that was about far as I could go. I think the post play with the sixaxis moves were unparalled in ingenuity very smart and natural, but the overall gameplay is lacking. Sony is sadistic with this series or its making money somehow. Sales must be mediore at best, it didn't follow it bretheren The show from the PS1 to the PS2 very well. The PS1 saw some great basketball out of that camp. It they chose to focus on sim instead of casual who know how much of the pie they would have. It baffels me that SCEA San Diego can focus purely on sim with the show and casual for NBA'08. Someone must be losing bets everyear.

those are not 08 pics, its 07. New texture method this year for PS3 1st party games. Supposedly, they are using steaming textures coupled with progressive mesh. LAIR will be the first game you will see using this method and Rachet and Clank as well as Uncharted. They will finally start using all that blu ray space now.

08 looks interesting. I played all 3 bball games this year and I think 2k was the best sim but, not a fun game. Live was well, not so live. 07 was a good game. Not a great game but, none of the games were great imo. The best ever video bball game was and still is NBA LIVE 95. I just think it depends on what your looking for out of a bball game. All games need some improvement (some more than others... LIVE) and I think and hope that next years bball titles will give something we all like and want. I wish that they could just all put together there games and make 1 great game. Sadly, that's not going to happen so we are left with 3 games that will offer something different. As a bball fanatic and former player in college I can't wait for next year. It should be a GREAT 1.

Sadly enough Sony is a disgrace to the system. This game looks just as pathetic as the last outing.

Not liking the cartoony gloss graphics, and the faces are horrible. Those are definitely 08 photos, taken from the trailer and maybe from some other released my Sony....

What happened to this company? Shootout use to be great, and then they just went all wrong!!!

I can't see this mediocre game being a success, 2nd game and they still can't show any true power of the PS3.

I see Live and 2k showing the 2007-2008 basketball season, justice. This game won't even be competition.

And yes I said Live, even though 07 sucked a big one, it isn't worse than the sony attempts lately....
