Video Game Reviews of NBA Live 08
Customer Review: The worst game I have ever purchased
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't even know where to begin with this game. First it was on sale for $[...] so I thought what the hey and bought it. Big mistake. The interface is a disaster with cuts of game footage in the background which looks like a bad MySpace page. Any roster or player editing is a pain because you have to individually click to get to the bottom of the player list. Like lets say your editing Clippers players, to get to the last player you have to click 11-12 times to get to the player you want to edit instead of scrolling which the game developers did not put in.
Everything about this game is difficult, the developers didn't seem to put much thought into this game, perhaps because it was PC instead of concole.
The gameplay itself is a joke, if you just want to play some arcade style basketball its ok but for the diehard fan its an absolute nightmare. Scrubs point guards getting 60 points a game just because they drive to the rim and score even though you have 3 big men guarding the basket. Modifying to make the game better is impossible and for the life of me I COULD NOT SAVE ANY GAMES!!!!!! The first thing they should've done is make saving games as easy and effortless as possible.
In short I am done with the NBA Live series, I will switch to the 2K9 series.
Oh and the Gilbert Areanas cover with the horribly ugly uniform has got to be the worst nba game cover in the history of mankind. They wouldn't pull this kind of stuff for the Madden series. EA Sports treats the NBA Live series like a ugly stepchild.
