The NBA Live series from EASports has had its share or ups and downs. I remember playing Live religiously back in the days of the Sega Genesis, but it seemed that once 3D console hardware came about and new engines had to be written, EA's premier NBA series lost a little ground on the competition. Towards the latter years of the Xbox and PS2's reign atop the cutting edge gaming world, EA's Live series finally got what was
coming to it with a total arse bruising by 2KSports and their NBA 2K series which was basically superior in every way. The arrival of the Xbox 360 and PS3 gave EA a real chance to get back into the hunt for 'best NBA title' but, unfortunately, NBA Live 06 and then 07 on the 'next-gen' hardware were uninspiring efforts at best. Not content being #2 in just about every NBA fan's eyes, EASports have finally put their butts into action with NBA Live 08, and while EA's journey to retake NBA gaming is far from over, finally some worthy competition for 2K is here.
