well I am here to say this game definately does more justice than a 1 star!! With all the capabilities that is offered in the game, how could it be? I enjoyed the game, and actually was suprised by the game play on the PSP, the graphics are more enjoyable than the PS2 version, but I would say the realism it not... in the PSP version, I don't like the fact that it is so easy to make shots, players go to the hole anytime they wish, and it's extremely hard to steal in the game... but like I said, it really is enjoyable to have all those options at the palm of your hand; shot out is added which I have never played before, and it seemed I was stuck on that challenge even before I experienced playing a real game... bottom line is the game is good, damn good for PSP, I just hope EA can make some slight adjustments towards next years edition.

The last basketball video-game I've played was Double Dribble back in 1988. When I saw this game and all it has evolved the genre I wanted to try it.
Sport games doesn't evolve very much, only some variations on the rules.
The upgraded graphics, the new additions of sound fx, audio commentary, camera angles and the extras makes a great game for casual and hardcore gamers. I read that the console versions have other features that the PSP doesn't but the portability convenience makes it a good choice. If you have some time you can pick a quick game and enjoy or continue a season.
But this will never compares to the real life sport.

Very good game with actual players. Good graphics. On the season games, you have to keep saving your actual scores, because sometimes the game got reset and you have to start all over.
Very good game!! Highly recommended!

This game is the pretty much the same since '06. I wish these sports games would stop creating optional games like "The Crown" and focus more on off-season and in-season stuff. The player trading is just as dumb as '06 (the pc won't trade draft picks). And why in the world won't NBA Live and Madden create conditional and future draft pick trading??? The rookies are better in '08, especially the second rounders that weren't even worth drafting in the previous versions. My recommendation: It's a lot of fun to play, but the franchise mode hasn't changed. But props to EA for continually creating awesome games - they just need a little tweaking in my opinion.

This is my first Amazon review for any product. I just had to say that this game is a lot of fun for a portable NBA basketball game. Its not perfect by any means. Defense is basically non existent. The animations are well done, especially the dunks. They do look good for a handheld system. The Crown is a cool feature. Basically just an achievement system, but it gives you something to play for. Some pretty cool unlockables like jerseys and teams. I also enjoy the minigames too. They are fun for a quick fix. I play this game a lot on my breaktimes at work. Its not a hardcore Bball game, just meant for fun.

in nba live 07 psp there will some things that people didnt like. like dunks through backboards dribbling without the ball. but now thats change there is no more dribbling without the ball and dunks throught backboards. but now u can unlock hard classics jerseys go to all star weekend and do the dunk contest skills challenge, and 3 point conteset and the best the all star players east vs. west when u beat some of the challenges u unlock some very classy jerseys. and im not sure u can creative a go-to move but it says so on the box. the game is fun no more missing every shot it most likey goes in but so does the other team so it would be exciting. u can do dynasty mode which u can defeat real life accomplishments like in dynasty mode u could beat wilt chamberlains 100 pointsin 1 game accomplishment and score the most points by a team in history (Boston celtics 186 points as a team in 1 game a real accomplishment. so for any NBA fan a must get (i wonder what EA is going to do next year. i guess will just have to wait and see. and one more thing some of the rookies in the game have a different number than real life and when u trade or sign a player with the same number one of your players has there goin to have the same number no matter what u do. so i close by saying this good quality and no more mistakes.

I searched all over for this game but it was sold out. When I finally decided to look for it on Amazon, I was so happy that they had it. THEY HAVE EVERYTHING!!!!

Bought this game for my 12-year-old son, and he loves it. When shopping online, I recommend using Amazon and am always pleased with their quick service.

this game to me is like live from last year... it sucks.... i played this using cfw but played only 1 quarter before i quit playing. i dont know why the other guy gave a 5 star review, because this game is horrific.. its exactly like live from last year, which i regrettable bought and played for about 10 games before i bought nba 07 from sony. that game played much better than live and i assume the same can be said about this years version. the graphics are choppy, the controls stink, and i took luol deng to the basket and instead of laying it up, he did a hook shot underneath... pathetic game.. stay away from EA... theyre going to go defunct as soon as they lose their madden license... caveat emptor
