A lot of the reviews I've read said don't bother getting 2k8 if you have 2k7. Anyone out there who's played both who can comment?

I have both. 2k8 tries to fix alot of 2k7's problems (ex dunking from the foul line, easily shooting 75% from the field)
This however created new problems which are much more annoying. Layups are frequently missed. You can only dunk if super wide open. Foul shots on XBL are way too hard.
After about 10 games I'd have to say 2k7>2k8>any NBA live after 1999 (i only played the demo of 2008, it looked good but thats about it).
Im def down for a league if one gets started

I'd agree with this the assessment but not the conclusion. In real NBA games, you don't see dunks in traffic very often. Similarly, you don't see point guards laying it up over two people unless they have a head of steam. Little flip shots while stationary under the basket SHOULD be missed frequently. That said, it might happen a tad too frequently.
In 2k8 you need to move the ball around and actually shoot midrange shots occasionally.

I agree that 2k8 is more realistic and the more Ive been playing it the more i like it.
I still do think however 2k7 was more enjoyable, mb that will change as I log a few more games. The AI in 2k8 makes defense really easy, and it can be really hard to score on offense without 2 passes.
