Me and my friends have this every saturday night ritual, playing NB8 2K8 in PS3 and I always get dimolished Any of you here got any tips, in the offense and defense? Any tips will do. Feel free to discuss about how kick @$$ this game is any tips will do.

I hate this game.. My friend gave it to me.. Man can i get a dunk? Half the time they are doing a jump shots when they are like 2 feet away from the rim.. RUNNING! wtf. I miss the good old run and slam game.. press turbo.. run up the court.. and slam it! easy.

Well I hate it when my uncle always uses Kobe Bryant against me. He never uses any other player on the Lakers. You should try that, see if it would work. I beat him most of the time, but somehow it's harder when he only uses Kobe.

Can't dunk?? You ever tried using Lebron James?? He is Godlike in that game...Anyways, a good way to score points is to pass the ball around and wait for one of your Bigmen to cut inside..Like Tim Duncan= Instant Power dunk or use Lebron James and go Coast to Coast.

I always play it every time I'm over my friends house. I usually win.

Then you are worst than i am I am actually pretty good, i know how to set plays, pick and roll and isolation (dunks are easy), my only problem is the defense, I always get killed in the fast break and transition. This is one of the best game I ever played, you just gotta play it more.

Edit: And you gotta know if your players are on fire, and feed them the rock, look at the levels of the bars when they got the ball. If its full, pull the trigger. I'm lovin it, I just have got to improve my defense. Is there any tricks, techniques?anyone? I'm usng Mavericks btw.

Heres a glimpse of the game, if you havent played it yet. Its insaneeeee!! that is if you are a baller.

Def. is kind of hard. For fast breaks, I never set ups plays. I think it actually hurts you. Everytime there is a fast break there is always 1-2 guys at the other end. I switch to control them and just try to get a change called on the other person. For transition I use a 3-2 zone or man to man. Most of the time its man to man and I just swich off players to get the block. Other than that I def with who ever the point guard is. Also sometimes, you can tell who the person is going to pass to so try to jump infront of the ball to get a steal. Also try to make the other person take jump shots because they have a better chance of missing the shot and you should get the rebound. I play the magic's so I donno who is good for what on the mavs. Hoped this helped.
