NBA 08 features volume three of "The Life" series that concludes and revolves around a coach by the name of "Coach T" as his career is winding down. The player takes control of a player for Coach T. with the ability to choose from five different characters depending on the position they want to play or create their own with 60 different scenarios to participate in. The game follows a realistic view of basketball by attending news conferences, signing endorsements, interact with fellow players and coaches and rivals as well. The decisions determines how the player is viewed as either a team player or a lone troublemaker. Depending on how their player performs during games, they can receive attribute points to strengthen their players. There is also a Smart Shot Indicator, which has a color indication before a player takes a shot at the basket, letting them know how hard the defense is pressing and the likely hood of missing or completing the shot. The game features updated animation and a feeling of a real broadcast on television featuring the voice talents of Kevin Calabro and Mark Jackson. There are minigames to compete in, like 3-Point Shootout and the Playstation Skill Challenge and online capabilities where players can compete head-to-head or in tournaments.

Additional Information

NBA Live 08 on PlayStation 2 adds an assortment of new features to the core graphics engine and play modes featured in NBA Live 07. One of the key components in the next-gen versions, "go-to moves," is included to help further distinguish star players from the typical NBA athlete. Kobe Bryant's spin and fadeaway, Tony Parker's hesitation and quick acceleration, and Dwayne Wade's step-back jumper are just some of the moves available. The inclusion of color-coded "hot spots" will help players quickly identify the most effective shooting areas on the court based on an athlete's real-life tendencies. Other key features include a more streamlined control scheme, improved rebounding logic, a new player fatigue system, and team-specific play styles. In addition to the standard dynasty, season, and exhibition matches, players can compete in the FIBA World Championship as one of eight international teams or as any of the 30 NBA squads.

  • Perform new go-to moves with your favorite NBA stars, from fadeaways to pump fakes, hooks, and spins

  • Compete in the new FIBA World Championship mode

  • Use color-coded hot spots to decide whether to take the shot or pass to a teammate
