With NBA 2K8 releasing its first screenshots, take a look at the side-by-side comparison of NBA Live 08 to 2K8.
PS3Fanboy writes: "Slim pickings all around this week. The PS3 version of Monster Madness releases in America and the developers are keen to suggest that it's far better than the mediocre offering that was made to 360 players. 1Up had a look at it earlier this year and saw improvements, but there's still no telling whether it's actually good or not. Be sure to check out the demo on the PSN store before spending any money. Here's the full release list:"

EA SPORTS NBA LIVE 09 has predicted that the Lakers will capture their 15th NBA Championship by defeating the Celtics in the 2008 NBA Finals simulation. In a historic match-up that was last seen 21 years ago, the series lived up to its billing in a seven game thriller. It was NBA Finals MVP Kobe Bryant who led the charge, averaging 29 points and 6 assists per game throughout the series. With this victory, Phil Jackson set a new record by winning 10 NBA Championships as a coach. The Finals tip off this Thursday at 9PM EST on ABC.
Boston needs to win to increase their # of championships to 2 more than the lakers.
Lakers = Yankees of the NBA
They must have been playing online and the Lakers were losing and pulled their internet wire out of the system. Boston got the loss and a DNF%. GOOOOOO EA!
After announcing last week that Madden would no longer be made for the PC, EA Sports has now stated that NBA Live has been canceled for the PC as well.
Since when people play sport games on the pc? pc are created for rpg's and shooters, bye bye
GOOD. Maybe now they will concentrate on releasing a game without the stupid slowdown and bugs. Its always fun when you are beating someone and they yank the cable and you receive a loss and DNF. EA ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!!!
Its embarrassing to admit, but I bought a bunch of EA games in the past year and have ALWAYS been an EA Sports fan. But recently they are really horrible and its amazing how fast a company can turn off loyal gamers.
Why are they the only ones saved from the garbage called EA Sports!! Save the consoles too!!! Get rid of EA!
I didn't hear about the madden news. What happened to their exclusive agreement with the NFL that said that their games had to come out on all platforms (which I assumed included the personal computer)?
...even if the gameplay isn't as good.
2K games have really fallen behind this gen, and with the laughable All-Pro Football they just released, it doesn't look like they'll be catching up anytime soon.
live has the likenesses down pat.. but the gameplay WILL suck.. i'd have to see the number and complexity of the animations and framerates to see what game looks better.. crowds look a little nicer in 2k8
2K8 visually does everything accurately except the player's face. WHY 2K WHY!? It's like they're give me a reason to buy live. Freaking Chris Paul looks like Devin Harris.
screenshot comparisons
it's not hard for live to look good when there's nothing else going on.... they even had to darken the stadium just to get the game running at 60 fps where as NBA 2K7/8 has people walking around the stadium.. complete bench reactions... millions of animations and sick AI all running at 60 fps
