Should I Get Nba 08 Or Nba Live 08 For Psp?
I only want to but one game, and i don’t know what to choose. I’m looking for a basketball game that has a very long lasting appeal for psp. Most people say NBA live 08 is better but i think NBA 08 is better and i seriously don’t know what to get, Please tell me which one i should get and why.

I personally like NBA 08 better because it has a lot of mini games (horse, dodge ball, etc.). NBA 08 is more of a pick-up and play multiplayer game.
The biggest problem I had with NBA live 08 was that the superstar move sucks. You basically have no controls over them and when you are playing, in most of the situations where you want to do a straight jump shot, you will get a superstar move which usually goes in. This feature really screws up the gamin experience.
NBA 08
Pros:
-Lots of mini-games
-Easy controls
-Fast pace game
-Has conquest mode and pick-up games
Cons:
-graphics aren’t that great
-No dynasty mode, only has season mode
NBA Live 08
Pros:
-It has Dynasty mode
-Better graphics
Cons:
-When a game is in progress, you need to either finish the game or quit the game to go back to the main menu or to be able to save
-Only 2 mini games
-Controls are decent (double tap triangle to do direct passes)
-Superstar moves suck

NBA 08 is a little more appealing because of the controls for me, they are easier to remember than on Live. I always liked Sony’s version of sports games better than EA’s though MAdden football has been my favorite.
