So I'm seeing these on ebay for pretty cheap. Well cheaper than Gamestop, and I currently have NBA 2k7. I personally hate the menu options and nav, but the gameplay is cool. I'm used to NBA Live but last one I had was 2002 for PS2. (yea mad old). So I wanna get a better one and debating on these two. The reviews I've read all point towards 2k8 being better. The only thing I care about is creating online seasons and leagues.

I wouldnt suggest either one cuz your eyes arent good enough.

Why do you say that? Since he's looking on ebay i'm pretty sure he meant 2k8 and not 9

I'd say 2k8 is probably better, but I actually liked 2k7 more gameplay wise with everything else being pretty much the same.

Personally, if you want the game for online play, I suggest that you purchase the 09 versions of either 2k or nba live. You aren't going to find to many games online with the 08 versions since most of the people move on with the newer games. Also, I don't know if the companies keep their server open for older games.

Since that's just the thing. I'm not heavily into the NBA like that. I have a friend that I'd like to play this game with online. I don't want to spend $50 on a game I don't particularly care if anyone else is online with it. I know the rosters won't up exactly up to date but close enough to have fun for a game under $10.

Thanks for your input everyone!

So I bought both NBA 2k7 and 2k8 and both of them suck. Local play isn't bad at all, but getting to play online on either one didn't work. I think I managed to successfully play one person on 2k7 - but both kept giving me messages about "reading the manual". It couldn't be my internet connection because I'm using a LAN line to the PS3 and not wireless.

Anyone play NBA Live 2008? How is the online leagues? Can you start one with just two human teams and still play a league/season?
