NBA Live 08 will have FIBA Teams (LINK + PICS)

by **benji** on Sat Aug 04, 2007 5:20 pm

I'm going to say these teams are likely to be in the PC version. As they are going to be in the Wii and PS2 versions. The Wii version will not have "World Championship Mode" but PS2 will.

Also, PC version does not come out until late October.

Don't quote me on this. But I read somewhere that this is for everything except PC. But I have to find that source again...

Well I guess it's not that bad since some European patcher always seems to create a FIBA mod anyways.

As I said, it's all about the business and it's obvious.
No offense to anyone, but keep it real - Lithuania is definitely better than Germany and China. It's not worse than Italy, France and Greece (imo). Especially now, then we got most of our best players back to the NTeam (finally..). But that doesn't mean anything, Lithuania has 3,7 million of people, so who are we compared to Italy (over 59 million of people) , Germany (over 82) and China (omg), of course. That says everything, i guess.

That doesn't mention the Wii, even though the teams WILL be in the Wii version.

And consider the PC version is a port of the PS2 version...

Now that iran is in olympics I think they shoud add iran if they want to have two teams from asia

The only downside to this is there aren't enough countries.

Hopefully with this deal in place, there'll be a wider selection of countries in future games.

No word on any throwback jerseys. I assume only the current Team USA designs will be used.

Not the first national team I had in mind, but one of them.

What a waste of a post. But how ironic at the same time.

Why should I care about FIBA? Your post makes no sense, what is ironic about me not caring if international teams are in? Perhaps grabbing the I volume of the dictionary and looking up the word ironic is in order.

I don't have to be excited about every feature of the game. I'm not against it, just doesn't get me hot and bothered like some of our international friends. It's fine that it's in the game, I'm not against it just mmmmeehhhh!

Jing's point was:

You don't care about FIBA but you posted on a thread that's related to it. You shouldn't have posted.

And shucks if this will not be added to the PC version, a game mode is very different from a mod.

Nice news.FIBA has many talented guys there.

by **Isaiah** on Fri Aug 10, 2007 9:45 pm

actually Jing, as good as the American hot dog is & how much I envy to be like Pero, my hot zones are from the 3pt line on the angle (the arcs on the wings)....go-to-move, probably the fake, dribble left, take 2 steps & pull up for the midrange jumper....I've got another one that I learnt off a Jordan video, a stutter step going left when I can either attack basket or take step back jumper....I also have a little baby hook, usually better working that off the left block....

Calderon looks almost as tall as Pau Gasol :shock:

Well well. Good news.

I hope 09 includes more international teams and euroleague teams too.
