Don't expect much... December 28, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
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.
Cool game, but could use a slight overhaul November 28, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Very subtle additions to this version. It is easier for good rebounders to rebound, and the game's AI defensively has improved overall. However, I played a few games, and noticed that it was harder for me to block shots. Only one game mode has changed as there is now a playoff mode. other than that, the game is virtually unchanged from last year. Definitely could use an All-Star Weekend mode like NBA Live has, and new commentary from the announcers would make the game more interesting as well. Still, the game is very good, and there is not much to criticize here. If you have last year's version, and are looking for sweeping changes, don't bother buying it, or holdout for a used copy. Updated rosters make the game cool for Boston and Denver fans, who added new superstars.
 No Dunk Contest on PS2 October 3, 2007

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.
