My first 2K game!
PostedApril 2, 2012
I was hoping for 2K12, but long story short i got this. I was disappointed by the graphics, but what do you expect from a game made in 2007? second, the gameplay is good, but moves and shots can become monotonious at times. gameplay can also be very frustrating. by this i mean one game you cant miss a shot, but the next game your missing wide open lay ups. but still, a pretty good game.

Disappointment
PostedMay 6, 2008
When I learned this game would introduce the dunk contest, I was excited. I bought NBA 2K8 for the PS2; NO DUNK CONTEST! When I realized the dunk contest was only for the 360 and PS3, it was way too late. Even though, I tried to ignore that, and for the first 3 weeks the game was ok. But I was looking through the rookies in the game. How is there only maybe 16 roockies? No Jamario Moon, or Juan Carlos Navarro. When the disappointment coudn't get worse, I visit my nephew's house, and he had NBA 2K7 for the Xbox 360. I easily got hooked on it. Besides the graphics, of course, everything else was better: ball handling, shooting, stealing, and what made me angry, layups. My nephew told me that depending on the characters, layups will usually go in. In my NBA 2K8, layups are crap and only go in once in a while. Bottemline: 2K sports put in work for the NBA 2K8 versions for 360 and PS3 and did nothing to improve anything for the PS2.

Now I know why.
PostedApril 26, 2008
Now I know why this is the best NBA Game. 1st of the the Gameplay, great, simple and fun. I've been a fan of NBA Live since '99. This is the first time I bought 2K. This game is very very good. 2nd, the controls are very easy to memorize and you will not have problems with it. 3rd the rosters, 2K is giving downloads to users who has 2K8, the current rosters is downloadable in Playstation Store (online). The challenge? Pfff, Hall of Fame is the hardest, but you'll get used to it. 5th, 2K Beats (sounds) are good, so many songs to choose from like Run DMC or Common or etc. 6th, the graphics is a ok. It's like you're playing the real players. This game is a must for NBA fanatics out there like me. You need this game in your collection. Now I can't wait for 2K9.
