Closing Comments

NBA Live 08 is EA’s weakest attempt on Wii thus far, hands down. It lacks the polish, depth, or passion of any of the other motion projects had, removing full modes and options of the other console versions while also skipping on any of the expected Wii additions. We’re not talking about the included Family Play mode, or the game’s Party Mode which includes two mini-games; we’re talking about seamless motion control that works in more ways than just a simple button press, Wii-specific modes that truly make use of the console’s strong points (IR being one of those, something never used in NBA Live), and the intuitive “Learn Madden” equivalent mode of NBA Live, where players instantly are greeted with step-by-step tutorials and a range of training modes that familiarize them with the Wii hardware. Mii integration doesn’t make a PS2 title turn Wii overnight, and neither does waggle control or sympathetic gameplay. It’s obvious NBA Live was a low-priority, back-burner product, as the game suffers greatly during its Wii conversion. Here’s hoping next year brings a deeper, more intuitive and entertaining game of NBA Live.
