4.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect much..., December 28, 2007
By A. N. Shiau "Shiauty" (San Gabriel, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
When getting the yearly updates for sports games on last gen systems.. you really shouldn't expect groundbreaking or breathtaking new features. What you should expect is... essentially the previous year's game... with little improvements here and there. I myself found 2k8 to have smoother game play than 2k7 and worth the 20$ I paid for it. My advice is.. is you have 2k7, you should probably save the 20-30 bucks that 2k8 costs. My rating for the game is solely based on my experience playing it.. not on how much it improved from the previous year.

PROS:
- New dunk/shooting animations
- Slightly crisper graphics and game play

CONS:
- Exact same intro (fan reactions, announcing, etc) for every game
- AI, which is touted as "Smarter...brings the NBA to life like never before", is actually retarded as hell. You can win against the Suns or Celts on "Hall of Fame" difficulty by 40.
- No Dunk contest or any of the "new" stuff Next-Gen systems received
- The music is described in one word... crap
- The "Association" game mode is the same of previous years.

In all, the game was still a little more fun than the year before. I would suggest getting it only if you didn't get 2k7. The 2k series is still light years ahead (which is sad) of its competition and definitely more worthwhile because of its game play and price.

I purchased this for my husband for Christmas and he was totally floored. The graphics are amazing and the live action is great. He loves sports video games and this one ranks as one of his favorites. A must have for any video game enthusiast!

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
The Product Features Amazon have needs to be changed.The PS2 version doesn't have the Dunk Contest and 3pt shootout.2K didn't make any changes to the players and the Assocation.All your getting is a roster update and a few new Dunks,new player animations and sig shots.

4.0 out of 5 stars NBA 2K8 Gets Nothing But Net!
This game is great, but I'll start off with this: It is much, much better for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The graphics on NBA 2K8 aren't that great, but are good enough. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool game, but could use a slight overhaul
Very subtle additions to this version. It is easier for good rebounders to rebound, and the game's AI defensively has improved overall. Read more
