    If he's prone to making contact with other players that he can't avoid and increases his chance of injury, that also makes him injury-prone.

    Question for Rocket fans with the game. Do they actually have pictures for Scola and Aaron Brooks? It sounds nit picky I'm sure, but I hate when the new guys have some generic face or a black background.

    oh....and is Hakeem on the legends team and can you use legends in franchise?

    brooks and scola real photos and cyberfaces are in the game. they are done pretty well in my opinion.

    i'll have to check if hakeem is on the 80s, but i'm sure he is.

    That alone is reason enough to get 2k8 as a Rockets fan

    For all of you who have X-Box Live and 2K8, check out my Reel Maker Video. You can find it under top rated, or under new releases. Let me know what you think.

    It's from my first win in association mode.

    So who's the best dunker on the Rox in the game?

    Tmac? Francis? Snyder?

    What's Mac's dunk rating anyhow?

    Eager to know for sure. Snyder and Mac are BEASTS in last year's game. Nobody could stop them from dunking once they drive past their man.

    T-Mac has an 89 dunk rating. Can't remember Stevie or Snyder's, but dunking isn't a frequent occurrence like in past games. The team is so deep I can send out an arsenal of lineups to match up with any team. Also with the addition of Mutombo(I waved Josh Reed to make space), Rockets became the 2nd highest rated team in the game (89 overall, 2nd to Suns 93)

    On a side note Vspan is on the free agent list and is a 66 overall.

    I simed an entire association season and the ROCKETS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! I also released Reed and signed Mutumbo. Lets hope this is a sign of things to come.

    I would be playing NBA 2k8 right now, but my 360 got the red ring of death and it will be 3 weeks until I get it back from it being repaired. :rolleyes:

    I just got NBA 2K8. i have never played it before, and I want to get really good at it and compete on xbox 360. Does anybody have any advice on what defenses to run and what what plays on offense to run to win. I used to be really good at EA'S college basketball game, and I domintaed running a 1-2-1-1 full court press. If anybody has any advice on how to use the rockets on both sides of the ball I would greatly appreciate it. Or if there is any websites or forums that have great content on strategy. Thanks

    Pick and rolls work great with mac and yao

    post up (Yao) he's a beast inside

    SF cut

    wing cuts work great also

    defense - def pressure low and set players defense to tight.

    with def pressure on high, you open up room for the opponent to back door cut on you all game

    experiment but these are some good one's.

    stay with whoever you are guarding

    you cant block everything

    just hit jump to contest jumpers and fadeaways (need to be timed well)

    turn the offense up some

    run plays and take your time, if you don't you'll get skunked because the AI is very smart

    Does anybody else get the intentional foul glitch!? I was just playing and tried to intentional foul. Instead I ended up grabbing the ball handler and he just dropped the ball. No foul called. Playing among my roommates I can't even consider counting a victory under those circumstances. One time I even saw all the NBA rules and fouls off. Though when I was trying to foul all the rules and fouls were on.

    Intentional foul works for me everytime (press select). Did you try restarting your system?

    For the intentional foul glitch, I read that you have to delete your game settings and that should fix the problem.
