4.0 out of 5 stars Misunderstood..., March 6, 2008

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: NBA 08 (Video Game)

This game has an undeserved bad reputation on the web. Simply, it shouldn't be considered a simulation. The play is more arcade-style. The developer's have obviously spent more focus on 'feel & technique' than 'deep' franchise options. But that doesn't mean weak replay value- every week you get to download roster updates and challenges. This means that while watching ESPN, if you see a sick NBA play... you might get a chance to recreate the moment yourself through NBA 08. Plus Sony has LeaderBoards for these challenges (and online play, of course). When I bought this game there were 3 of us here. Within 2 hours of purchase we were all yelling at my set and having a great time. Later, motivated, we went out and played some ball of our own. This is THAT type of game. So my final recommendation would be: If you have 1080p/HDMI/HDCP (the graphics amaze),have PS3 online, and commonly play with friends/family, yes get it. Otherwise, I'd hesitate.

This core game here is very good, however lacking a campaign or franchise mode really hurts the game. Additionally the AI gets predictable over time and you start blowing out the computer.

Not a bad game, but not great either.

This is simply the best basketball sim out there. The graphics are insane, the sixaxis ball control is unimaginable, the game of the week brings you back again and again. Simply playing a game with a friend is in one word FUN. A must buy for any PS3 owner.

This game, MLB the show, and probably Hot shots golf and definately best in their class... Enjoy.
