i heard a bunch of great things about this game, but when i got it, it wasn't as i expected... i had it on PRO and i was getting killed by the rockets... i picked the kings and the warriors... the free throws are so hard to make and its vital you make them in this game... also, the association mode aka franchise mode isn't all that great and that's what i usually like in sports games...

NBA 2K8
Quick Pros:
-Signature moves are on point and the feel is of your favorite NBA Player
-Very addicting and can get you playing for hours at a time
-Sticking to some of the roots of NBA 2K7 in some ways

Quick Cons:
-Simplest of moves are disfunctional
-Broadcasters talk too much about the same subject over and over again
-To the paint moves are uncontrollable and feels like you have no control on your player

This game is by far the best of the NBA games this season. NBA 2K7 considered to be the best in NBA games this one is really fun and great. Attention to detail is focused on how your jersey moves, the sweat, the dribbling aspects , and shooting long 3s and dunks is very rewarding. Attention to detail is pretty misguided. They focus on alot on how the player plays. But characters are really OFF. They had a better luck with the xbox graphics. Kobe Bryant looks like a 14 year old boy and Radmonovic looks like a woman. Which I don't really understand since they got the same characters almost look precise in 2k7. They really messed up which is unexcuseable. The worse part is your control of your character. Simple lay ups next to an opponent will more than usual will push you away from the court to behind the backboard and out of bounds. Easy jump shots that could be easy will force your player to go for a lay up or dunk and get blocked. And at learning the worse way is doing jump shots and totally takes away with what you intend to do at control of your favorite player. And don't try to play fair on xboxlive. Most people cheat and more than once just stay infront of you inbounding and just easily 5 manning every time u have the ball. The feel of this game is really unstable but when you finally do what you were intending to do on your way to the hoop it is very realistic. Fouls are also frequently called against you on unrealistic occasions. Charging seems to not exist.Stay with 2k7 if u want a slight upgrade get this game.
