    How much does a xbox 360+nba 2k8 cost?</p>

    </div></p>

    Its not worth it. The more and more you play 2k8, the more underwhelming it gets. Running an association is the only truly fun part.</p>

    GameSpot made there score for NBA Live and it got a 7.5 and 2K8 got 8.5 so it appears that your game CelticBalla32 is better.</p>

    Okay so I finally bought NBA 2K8 and has a couple of hours to play it today and it is alot different from 2K7....first off I find it alot more difficult to penetrate the lane with your PG and to pull of any types of crossovers or behind the back wrap around with players. I am used to the controls in 2K7 when performing crossovers so why cant I do them in 2K8? Is it because they were aiming for more realism or is there a new system to perform them? Also I have one more question, when im playing the AI and they postup they have an arsenal of different moves with thier bigs in the paint but when I try mimicking it all I do is postup and then pull of for a fade away shot or whatever nothing too fancy like the AI opponent. So if anyone can help me out with ways to pull nice crossovers and phenominal posts moves I will be pleased.</p>

    Kudos to MonumentusCeltic from the OS forums for putting this together. This will break down the isomotion moves for you in an easy-to-follow manner.</p>

    Thanks man, some of those I have been trying to perform but could'nt do for some reason....the more I play 2K8 the more I realize I cant be so reckless with the ballhandler like I was in 2K7 and have to pick my spots when to penetrate the lane and not just force my PG into the paint using Isomotion.</p>

    NBA Live 2008 has some new gameplay on it, sort of like the game Skate were you have to use your thumb to move around and do tricks, I guess its the same for NBA Live 2008.</p>

    That ballhandler game?</p>

    That game's on the PSP...it's pretty interesting, too. almost like a DDR type game I guess. hard to explain it really. Although it was interesting that you have to turn your PSP sideways to play it.</p>

    Not too comfortable to hold it sideways, either...prolly easier to put it on a flat surgace, haha.</p>

    Lol, holding your PSP sideways doesn't seem to fun, but the only game that I love the most on PSP is Ace Combat with all the planes and machine guns, I love seeing the sky and clouds in a small screen ahaha.</p>

    I wasnt asking for how much it is worth. Im asking what the cost is nowadays. Im assuming 360 games are 60 bucks.</p>

    Well for Xbox 360 will be about $350 dollars and the game will be $60, which adds up to a total of $410</p>

    Actually it's more like a 270. Starting with the side of your body facing the basketball then spin with your body in front.</p>

    Yeah, I think it's much better than Live's slow-mo animations.</p>

    I just played my second overtime game. I was Portland, playing against the Knicks, and I won in OT at home. I also got my high in scoring with a single player, scoring 32 with LaMarcus Aldridge. Brandon Roy went for 24, James Jones hit huge FT's, and Oden also put up 11 points, 10 boards, and 4 blocks. I can't get enough of this game.</p>

    I'm playing 2k8 with subs, and my question is why do players like Ginobili or Marbury get matched up with Nene at the PF position? Is there a way of fixing this stupidity?</p>
