Yes, the controls to shoot/block shots and steal the ball with the Wiimote are not always accurate. However, this game is fun. Bought it cheap to begin with ($17.00) and it STILL has online play. AND it is FUN. I love the "block" sound that eminates from your Wiimote when you swat someone's shot. I love double-teaming in the backcourt and intercepting passes. I love attempting to get the "touch" on the freethrows with a cruddy shooter (a Wiimote flick forward at proper speed does the trick). This game is unlike all of the other versions on the Xbox 360 and PS3 because it is a Wii! I've been playing video game systems since about 1978 (remember "pong" and the "Atari 2600?") and this is just another specimen of great and innovative gameplay on the Wii. Long live the Wii and games like NBA Live 08!Read full review
FUN. EASY TO LEARN Regardless of how one compares the NBA to the NFL, Madden DUNKS OVER this every time!!! Rent or buy cheap, but worth playing

Although this is the 2008 version of NBA Live, it has such great animations. The players are very realistic & it's easy to play. This year was our sons first year to play real basketball, and this game really helped him to learn the little things that you just have to experience yourself rather than to be taught by a coach. We purchased this for Christmas '09 and were not a bit disappointed in it not being the '10 version.
The choice of players and of teams were great. The realism of play was good and the graphics for play on the Wii were good. I liked the All Play option as it gave newbes a chance to start playing right away and move on to the more in depth play as they were ready.it was good to have several choices for typ[es of play like one game or an entire season. I would recommend this game to any Wii owner. It is as good as the 2009 version at a much lower price.
Came quick safely package but wear tear some scratches from age or kid using understandable

I dont like how this seem quite difficult to play and navigate...It is not kid friendly at all...I don't like it..thought it would be a fun game for the family and I was completely wrong!!! Boring because we can't figue out how to play it..Not an easy play@!
My boy is playing basketball for the first time on a team this year so I thought this NBA would help him learn some plays..He really loves it now that he figured it out..One of the games he plays all the time..
You got to luv it on the Wii only one draw back is the in game dunking which is not always effective as in kid mode on the Wii. Yet you still get the plays, run & gun action, and all other aspects of the NBA except to be able to create your own player or import your own pix onto a player. Maybe they will in future games. Go Lakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the game was used before, but it was in great condition and it works fine and very easy to play ,"we love it"
