Finally some info!
http://www.4players.de/4players.php/...7/NBA_2K8.html
I wont translate the whole text but here are the main points
- no visual differences on the first look compared with 2k7, only little tweaks in faces, kits and animations. looks amazing anyways
- defense is stronger. dunking heaven is gone.
- left trigger opens a quick menu where you can give orders like "give me a block" or "get yourself lose of your defender". your teammates will execute these orders at once
- player cursor has changed to a line which is divided in 5 parts (-----)
this lines indicate if the controlley player is in a hotzone for a good shot.
nowitzkis lines are all green at the 3 point line for example
- nba blacktop is a collection of mini games like dunk contest and 3point contest
- plays (offense and defense) can be visualized on the court with lines which will show you how you have to play to execute the called play correctly
- as a summary the say that 2k8 will once again kill live and hold the number 1 position in basketball games
- graphic bugs like teared shorts have been reduced but couldnt get fixed completely
- nka2k8 comes for ps3 and 360 with full online support
The translated version
Admitted: At first sight one hardly recognizes differences in things window blind, animations and figures - also this NBA 2K8 sees class from 2KSports stressed that one there still refined the leotards here and the faces, but genuine Basketball fans interests the play mechanics.
Those was last year already very well, but there was a predominance in the Offense: The Dunker was somewhat too powerful. One carried the Defense now for that with a stronger focus on body-stressed play calculation and strengthened: If a Bryant runs directly on highly jumping center too, he can be lost its ball in the case of the impact now already times or brought from the equilibrium.
The Defense is to master the block or a setting now also more frequently. That is only one detail in the play mechanics, but a very important. Similarly as pro evolution Soccer 2008 goes it in this series around still improving the anyway already authentic play river. In addition a small detail within the tactics range could contribute: If you press the left Bumper, a menu opens that you like the free running or a setting offers instructions - your fellow players react immediately and to it can in the correct moment the passport play.
Naturally also more seizable innovations may not be missing. The fifth-hasty bar beside the ball leader is noticeable immediately, that indicates you whether the player straight is in an optimal throw position, a "HotSpot" - has Visual Concepts the material Positonen investigated, which are appropriate for the professionals particularly well.
Nowitzkis bar will green light up thus also at the three-throw line. There is a sophisticated Streetball mode with different disciplines of the Slamdunk Contest for the first time with NBA Blacktop over three point competitions up to the 3 vs. 3-Match. One has on spectacular scenes as particularly read itself Vegas & CO concentrated - inclusive DJ, Rauchfontaenen and lightning thunderstorm.
Very cool is to be gotten that one can insert obstacles with the Slamdunkwettbewerb also such as cars or chairs, in order a higher valuation. New it is also that one can to be able to be indicated now the play courses of the Playbooks in the play. Speak: While you dribble, a line shows you on the parquet, where it must run or fit.
That is a class idea, because so a risers or Taktikmuffel can rehearse finally the play courses actively. Altogether this NBA 2K8 might tie also without graphic jumps to the outstanding quality of the predecessor. Unfortunate it is only that one bad diagram nose (trousers dissolves; Mercury leotards) to a minimum reduce, but according to developer to not completely drive out could.
NBA 2K8 comes for PS3 and Xbox 360 leagues & CO inclusive with full on-line support.
