'NBA Live 08' Goes 5-on-5 Online

Posted by Brian Leahy - Monday, December 17, 2007 10:46 AM

A new patch is available for EA's NBA Live 08 that allows for 5-on-5 online play with 10 people on 10 different consoles. This is a pretty big deal and even more suprising is that the patch has been released for the PlayStation 3.

The 360 version of this patch is expected "later this month".

From the press release:

In NBA LIVE 08, all 10 players on the floor can now be controlled by individual users on 10 different consoles, removing the use of artificial intelligence altogether. Player movement, decision making and game outcome can now be completely dependant on how you play as an online team, bringing you closer to a real life game of basketball than ever before. This new game mode enables any number of players from one to five on different consoles to connect and play online against another team of up to five players on five different consoles. The CPU will take control of any players not controlled by users.

Finally... I think this is a long time coming for sports games. I'm not sure it would be good for football, per se, I mean who really wants to control the offensive linemen? This would be great for soccer, though...

Cool. All they have to do now is make a patch for NBA Live which makes it not suck.

Yeah, the ball hogging is inevitable but it's going to be soooo worth it.

I do not play this game. Even though my roommates play it constantly. I think it is lame and boring. And I agree people are going to be hoggin the ball, who is going to call the plays and take timeouts etc. I agree it is a good concept in theory. But I dunno how well it is actually going to do.
