When the game is on the line and the ball is in your hands, what will you do? Will you penetrate the lane and rise above the rim for a monster slam, or find an opening around the perimeter and sink the game-winning basket? Now NBA Live 08 is fun for all on the Wii with a simple flick of the wrist. Get in on the ground floor of EA Sports critically acclaimed basketball franchise and show-off your go-to Move on the Wii.

The Wii allows you to actually perform a slam dunk by rotating your Wii remote downwards, or pull up for a jumper by flicking the Wii remote up and down. Blow by the defense with a quick crossover by tilting the nunchuck left or right. NBA Live 08 for the Wii gets off the couch and into the action!

Now you have 2 ways to play with EA Sports Family Play. Introducing a new multiplayer, social experience for EA Sports Wii games that allows novice users to compete against advanced players and still enjoy success. Take control of the action using just the Wii remote and let the AI take care of movement to take the glory as you drive to the basket. But if you’ve already got game, plug in your nunchuck and play with the advanced control setting to get the depth that you crave. Now everyone can dominate with your Go-To-Move on NBA Live 08 for the Wii.
