NBA Live 2008 Tips! Part 1

As i mentioned earlier the game is not changed a lot, so basically many of the old strategies still work. Easiest way to get easy points is to steal the ball from the other team. There are two main strategies dedicated to doing that.
The first one is the following. You have scored a basket, made an offensive foul or turned over the ball. So the other team has a inboud play. And this is a very important part of building quickly a high score. To execute this strategy you need to have very athletic point guard. Most of the way before the inboud play is started you are automatically switched to your point guard. He needs to have good speed and quickness rating for example something around 80 for both ratings. Try to move your close to the back of the player of the other team that is supposed to receive the inbound pass. As soon as the passer seems to move press Sprint left(or right depends on your PG position) plus forward(or back depends on your PG position) and in that moment press the opposite comand. I dont know if this is very clear how it happens but i will tell you an example. So you are close behind the player that i supposed to receive the inbound pass. The player behind the line throws the ball and you press forwad plus left that way you move in front of the player in and the ball hits your body (your PG i mean) and it goes the other way so thats why you have to press the other position so your player catches the ball. It is quite simple. You have to try it. Expirement with it and you will get very familiar with it very quickly. I have managed to get 27 steal with jordan farmar. A player with better awarenesses is more suitable for doing that also.
The other strategy is also very simple. It is executed in your paint area the most. You can have it executed anywhere on the floor. The idea here is to get everyone of your team moving. That way a pass may hit anyone of your team in his body, interupt the pass and run a qucik attack. To get that done play more double team. Quick plays on defense speed the game up and confuse the PC/player is it possible to make many mistakes. Low passes are mostly stolen playing up tempo D.

I will get back on other topics later. Later. :D

Lakers lose to C's!

I am very sad to announce it but they did. The Los Angeles Lakers lost a head-to-head battle withe the Boston Celtics. The game was at Boston and Lakers lost by thirteen points. It was nice a game for the Celtics but it was very poor team effort from the Lakers. Andrew Bynum played 28 minutes grabbed 9 boards and blocked one shot. Kobe was not on top of his game scored 28 points on 9 of 21 shooting. Lamard Odom didnt show anything at all. I am pretty disappointed from his performance that night. D Fish let the team also. His shooting wasnt very good and he didnt contributed with anything else. Only one assists from him. I liked Vladimir Radmanovich's perfromance. But it was poor team effort overall.
Newly added Trevor Ariza didnt played that night neither did Javaris Crittenton. I am pretty excited to see them in action.

It was about time!

So i didnt want to spent time to talk about NBA live 2008 but i changed my mind so here i am. The game is awful! The game is terrible! I cant find more words to express myself how i dont appriaciate that game. They were not putting much work in the series but this time they crossed the line. They are just mocking on every good NBA live player with the PC version. The game is full of bugs. The roster is from the end of July. The rookies are way too overrated. I cant see Javaris Crittenton being as good as Ray Allen is, right? Greg Oden almost as good as Shaq Oneal and so much more to come. A lot of player are also underrated like Andrew Bynum. There are also couple of guys missing from the rosters like Joakim Noah. And thats....pretty much it the rosters are all mashed up.
The Box out after a free throw is mashed up. After a free throw is missed you can move your players to get at the rebound. The Shooting is dumbed down. I really dont have much time to talk about the game. But thats from me for now. I will get back on this game later!

Another win!

Yes they did it again this time they beat the Pistons. They are now on a short streak of two games. The game was at Staples center. Lakers havent had a win against the Pistons in a while but it seems everything is working fine and they managed to pull away for the win. I wont get more in details but i will talk a lil bit about the game. Kobe was struggling the first two quarters. He finished the first quarter with 1 of 8 field goal shooting and four points. The second quarter wasnt very different. The team went down by few points. The third quarter things seem to be slowly improving. Meanwhile Lamar Odom was getting very hot on the floor. Finishing the night with 25 points and 15 board. Brian Cook on the other hand had another weak game. The fourth quarter was very good excuted by the Lakers scoring 43 points. The Pistons did score 20 and something. The Lakers were down by 10+ but did equaled the game and also pulled away for 11 point victory. The foourth quarter it self was very fortunate for Kobe. He finished the game with 19 points. Jordan Farmar did his best stole 2 passes to help to get closer to the victory. The other young player you should be watching also had nice game that night. Andrew Bynum grabbed 9 boards and scored 12 points. So far this season he is doing great.The Lakers are second in the Pacific division behind the Phoenix Suns with record 7-2. Lakers' record so far is 5-3.
There was another very interesting game that night. The Celtics had a game with Miami Heat. D Wade has returned form unjury but even he couldnt help his team, they lost 90 to 91. He shot a jumper in the last couple of seconds. But he couldnt get it to go Paul Pierce grabbed the board and then the buzzer went very loud Miami lost. So far they have only one win on they record the Cs on the other hand have no loses.

C are taking over!

Boston Celtics remain the only unbeaten team in the NBA this season so far. They are having their best start from 35 years! K.G., Paul Pierce and Ray Allen are having good time playing together. Their schedule is not very busy but the record is very impressive also. The great move by their FO over the summer its paying out earty in the season. I will be watching if they can keep it up. Explosive KG on the block, stricky shooting from Ray Allen and all-around game by Paul Pierce seems to be a great combination. James Posey is fitting nice in the team also. He is not a starter of course but he is contributing nicely. We will see if they can keep it up but i am looking for them to be among top competitors for 2007/2008 NBA title.
Meanwhile The Houston Rockets and The Los Angeles Lakers met each other for second time this year. This time the game was in Houston. And there was another difference, this time Lakers won. They won by three points. T mac left the field injured. Kobe scored 30 points. Bynum had another good game, altough he did not start the game for the Lakers. Win by three and a lost by two makes 0.5 points positive balance against the Houston Rockets this year. :D I am pretty happy how the Lakers are playing so far. I will be looking for them to impove.
And there is another very interesting fact i want to focus for a second. The New Orleans Hornets are having 7-2 balance the same as San Antonio Spurs and both team are sharing the 1st place in the Western Conference. After they left 10th last year, the hornets look much improved since last year. CP3 is doing his thang he had career-high 21 assists couple of nights ago. So NOH are one of the teams you should be watching this year.

And The Suns went down!

Phoenix Who? They is no stopping us. Why did they bother to show up at all? To get embarassed in front of their own fans? Haha. Lakers won at Phoenix 111 to 81 two days ago. It was a replay of last year's 1st round game. This time Lakers won. And they made it look easy. The game was very pleaseant to watch. As i thought earlier while the preseason was going on Lakers are having good time against team that are playing the run and gun style. Phoenix are playing that way since Marc D'Antoni is a coach of the team. Phoenix have very athletic player on their roster and that usualy works for them. But this time it didnt. I didnt watch that game but from what i heard The Suns did a lot of turnover during the game interrupted their offensive flow. All of their players were not on top of their game. Now as it comes to the Lakers and their players they were on the opposite side. Kobe didnt play selfish that game and was more like pass-first person. He scored only 16 points that game and had couple of assists. I was more impressed by team's young talent. I liked very much Andrew Bynum's stat. For 28 minutes of play Bynum score 14 points on 7 of 10 shooting. Also grabbed 13 boards of which 2 where on offense. Radmanovic was the highest scoring player of the Lakers with 19 points. Great contribution. Java Crittenton added 6 points of 3 of 3 fg shooting from the you guard. Thats all. Great team effort. I wonder if they can keep it up. Will see tonight against the Jazz.

Lakers loose to Houston.

We have a problem LA. Sad but true. Lakers lost their season opener to Houston Rockets. Tracy and friends won by just 2 points but they won the rest doesnt matter. The game started very well for the Lakers. They lead the whole first quarter. Then things gone bad for them. The second they went behind. Not by much but they were lead the Rockets. Tracy didnt start the game at his game but when he shots started to fall he got into rythm and he was very hard to be guard or stopped. If Lamar Odom was on the floor the things would be very different in my opionion. For the Rockets also appeared Bonzi Wells who contrubuted for the win. Rafaer Alston was not on top of his game and probably he would be substituated for the next Rockets' game by Steve Francis. Francis didnt play even in the game against the Lakers. He was on the bench ready to play but coach Adelman didnt give him any playing time that night. Yao also played for the win.
On the other side Lakers' didnt show much of a team effort. Kobe had a huge a impact on the Lakers no to be behind be much. He scored 45 points, catched 8 rebounds, 4 stealed ballas 4 assists and one blocked shot. He lead the team's stats in every category. D fish had nice impact on the team. He played as well pretty good for the playing time he received for that game. Some people claim that Kobe played very selfish that game. That he is trying to prove that he is worth something and his team mates are not good for nothing. According to me these are non-scene talks. I am still looking for the Lakers to win their first game this season. Next game is against their play-off eliminator last two seasons - Phoenix Suns. The match is at Suns' Arena.
