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.
