When the game is on the line and the ball is in your hands, what will you do?
Will you penetrate, drive the lane and rise above the rim for a monster dunk, or
find an opening on the perimeter and sink a game-winning three? Take control of
the game with a full arsenal to win the one-on-one match-up from every spot on
the floor with NBA LIVE 08.
Taking a page out of NBA STREET Homecourt’s book, NBA LIVE 08 introduces
Quickstrike Ballhandling. This intuitive gameplay mechanic is mapped to the
right analog stick and gives you the direct responsiveness you need to perform a
full repertoire of ankle-breaking ball-handling moves that let you dominate on
the perimeter.
Pass the ball inside and win the battle in the post with all-new ‘own the
paint’ post play for the big men down low. Use the new shot-countershot control
to string together combos of fakes and shots to fool your defender into
committing and create space for the game-defining bucket.
Providing an unrivaled level of authenticity to the sport, NBA LIVE 08
introduces hot spots, where real NBA shot data is used to illuminate the
locations on the floor where your players are most effective. Couple this with
all-new signature go-to moves that capture the essence of the NBA’s best, and
you can now play the game on a console like you see it from the stands.
On the perimeter, in the paint, and with complete authenticity to the sport
of basketball, dominate with your go-to move with NBA LIVE 08.
