The cover features [[momeg Oden]], formerly of the [[Ohio State Buckeyes]].

Almost every school competing in [[Division I]] [[NCAA]] College Basketball at the time was included in ''2K8'', including then recent D-1 additions [[University of South Carolina Upstate|South Carolina-Upstate]], [[Cal State-Bakersfield]] and [[Florida Gulf Coast University|Florida Gulf Coast]]. Not included were [[Presbyterian College]] and [[North Carolina Central University|North Carolina Central]], D-1 independents. Also, [[Centenary College of Louisiana|Centenary College]] of the [[Summit League]] was unlicensed and instead named UL-Calcutta. The game also featured the ability to change and modify rosters and share them online via the newly introduced ''2K Share'' feature. The real coaches feature was dropped from this game, possibly because the coaches chose not to renew their contracts and all of the coaches are unnamed.

The announcers featured in the game were [[Verne Lundquist]] and [[Bill Raftery]].

The series was put on hiatus in 2008 as 2K Sports declined to seek the college license for a 2K9 release. It is unknown if 2K has any plans to bring the series back sometime in the future.
