good game for newcomers August 24, 2008
The last basketball video-game I've played was Double Dribble back in 1988. When I saw this game and all it has evolved the genre I wanted to try it.
Sport games doesn't evolve very much, only some variations on the rules.
The upgraded graphics, the new additions of sound fx, audio commentary, camera angles and the extras makes a great game for casual and hardcore gamers. I read that the console versions have other features that the PSP doesn't but the portability convenience makes it a good choice. If you have some time you can pick a quick game and enjoy or continue a season.
But this will never compares to the real life sport.

I searched all over for this game but it was sold out. When I finally decided to look for it on Amazon, I was so happy that they had it. THEY HAVE EVERYTHING!!!!
NBA Live 08 July 8, 2008
Bought this game for my 12-year-old son, and he loves it. When shopping online, I recommend using Amazon and am always pleased with their quick service.
Good purchase June 13, 2008
Very good game with actual players. Good graphics. On the season games, you have to keep saving your actual scores, because sometimes the game got reset and you have to start all over.
Very good game!! Highly recommended!
 Needs Improvement June 2, 2008
This game is the pretty much the same since '06. I wish these sports games would stop creating optional games like "The Crown" and focus more on off-season and in-season stuff. The player trading is just as dumb as '06 (the pc won't trade draft picks). And why in the world won't NBA Live and Madden create conditional and future draft pick trading??? The rookies are better in '08, especially the second rounders that weren't even worth drafting in the previous versions. My recommendation: It's a lot of fun to play, but the franchise mode hasn't changed. But props to EA for continually creating awesome games - they just need a little tweaking in my opinion.
