Getting Better Every Year   08/06/2008
By Chimobi from Houston, Texas

What's great about it: Everyonw has there own shooting form
What's not so great: The players are kind of slow.

"This game gets better every year. NBA live used to be the best basketball game but now all that has changed since NBA 2K8. I cant wait until 2K9 comes out. I'll be waiting in line at the stores for that one."

Best Basketball Game Out   07/28/2008
By PCasper from Washington D.C.

What's great about it: Gameplay, Graphics, Moves, Styles, Options
What's not so great: Miss too many layups

"NBA 2k6 is the best basketball game out. Every aspect of it is amazing. Playing a friend is great and the season mode is amazing. In previous NBA you would try to score every time with one player or try to run a play but it would never work. However, in NBA 2k8 when you select a play it tells you where to be, where to pass the ball, and when to shoot or drive. It is a great aspect of the game. The only downside to this game is that the players miss many lay-ups. Other then that, this is the best basketball game out right now."

Best Basketball game   06/28/2008
By atticus14

What's great about it: pure fun gameplay, nothing better then 2 players in the same room
What's not so great: gfx engine kinda showing its age, needs new features

"For outright fun this game cant be beat, especially when your playing with friends in the same room. Most of my nitpicks are from being spoiled by new graphics, but the engine could use a serious update, but the reason why i dont give it 5 stars is because not much is new between 2k7 and 2k8, since they saved all that time by using an old engine this game should have had features out the wazoo, but oh well - still fun."

Blah Blah Blah   04/27/2008
By JayG7 from Chicago, IL

What's great about it: Very realistic, fun, smooth
What's not so great: Need some revamped commentary

"You keep hearing how this is the best basketball game out every year, and how it is better than Live. Why not try it for yourself and stop being skeptical. It is the real deal. Billions of people wouldn't steer you wrong. Exaggerated... Yes. But truthfully this is the game to get. The only thing NBA Live has on NBA 2K is the graphic overlays and presentation. But that will only appeal for 1 full minute after you realize the gameplay sucks. That's where NBA 2K comes in to fulfill your needs."

I wish, I were a little bit taller   04/24/2008
By Dwiz from Columbus,OH

What's great about it: Signature Moves,CPU,Slam Dunk Contest
What's not so great: Missed layups,Graphics could be a little better

"This is a ballers game, not like live 08.Live is like a arcade style of b-ball, but this is like NBA on TNT b-ball.This is the better game because it gives you a lot to do in the game, not only can you play 24/7, but the new slam dunk contest ,and online play the game offers.The Graphics could have been a lot better not to say they don't, but a few blemishes in creating some of the coaches little flaws.Make sure if you go to the lane time your jumps because you will miss a lot of layups.
P.S. I think this is the year the Spurs win back to back titles "Go Spurs"

Highly Reccomended   03/12/2008
By raylew52

What's great about it: Great Graphics, Online PLay
What's not so great: Too many missed layups, NO mid range jumper

"A great buy that I would highly reccomend to anyone. My only problems are that no one can make layups with contact and besides Lebron, T-Mac and your other All Stars, its almost impossible to dribble to the basket, but I guess thats somewhat realistic. Also, no mid range game for anyone. SOme easy shots that your average AAU player could make are missed on a regular basis. Besides this, it is fantastic, great graphics, gets you into it, best NBA game available, and I've played NBA Live."

Best NBA Game Ever!   02/10/2008
By dutchdiesel40

What's great about it: Great Association Mode, unbelievable gameplay!

"NBA 2k8 is a great game for both casual NBA fans and the hardcore fan. It has aspects that appeal to both. Casual gamers will like the dunk contest and 3 point challenge as well as the ability to pick it up and learn to play it quickly. Hardcore fans will love the association mode where you can draft, trade, and sign players to make your team a champion. Great value!"

Best sports video game since NHL 94   02/10/2008
By Anonymous from Winter Park, FL

What's great about it: gameplay, graphics, tight controls
What's not so great: settings take some adjusting for play to become realistic

"Firstoff, I would like to state that I am a huge sports fan, and my personal favorite games(NHL 94, NCAA Football 08, NBA 2k6) are completely blown out of the water by NBA 2k8.
I though 2k6 was good. Well, the upgrades since are immense. To name a few: added dunk contest feature, more interactive VIP feature(I swear this thing keeps track of everything), control settings which I prefer, on-the-fly substitutions & coach settings, as well as an improved Xbox Live experience.
The controls are beautiful. The passes are very precise: hold the right trigger and hit A is a lead pass, just hit A to pass to where your team is standing. Other basketball games seem to randomly choose whether to do a lead pass or a normal pass.
The shot stick takes a while to get a hang of, but once you do, you'll be able to choose which dunk(360, reverse, one-hand, two-fist, etc) you want to do on the fast break with a simple flick of the right thumbstick!
To top it all off, it feels like you're watching an NBA game. Evertything presented by ESPN, ABC, TNT, and NBATV is there for you: highlights, stat overlays, halftime show, a whole menu of postgame highlights.
The post game highlights menu includes:
-Player of the Game highlights
-Top 3 plays of the game
-A highlight reel for every player on both teams
Overall, this is a definite BUY.
"
