NBA Live 08 is the next installment of a popular series of sports games, created for over a decade by EA Sports, a Canadian studio. Due to the not very warm reception of the previous part of the cycle, the programmers responsible for the title decided to introduce a number of changes to their product to suit the tastes of a wider range of basketball fans.

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.

Providing an unrivaled level of authenticity to the sport, NBA LIVE 08 introduces 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.

Pass the ball inside and rule down low with ‘own the paint’ post play. String together combos of fakes and shots to fool your defender into committing and create space for the game-defining bucket. On the perimeter, in the paint, and with unparalleled depth, dominate with your go-to move with NBA LIVE 08.
