This core game here is very good, however lacking a campaign or franchise mode really hurts the game. Additionally the AI gets predictable over time and you start blowing out the computer.
Not a bad game, but not great either.
 Must buy March 7, 2008

This is simply the best basketball sim out there. The graphics are insane, the sixaxis ball control is unimaginable, the game of the week brings you back again and again. Simply playing a game with a friend is in one word FUN. A must buy for any PS3 owner.
This game, MLB the show, and probably Hot shots golf and definately best in their class... Enjoy.
Misunderstood... March 7, 2008
Danielle C. Barr (Portland, OR)
This game has an undeserved bad reputation on the web. Simply, it shouldn't be considered a simulation. The play is more arcade-style. The developer's have obviously spent more focus on 'feel & technique' than 'deep' franchise options. But that doesn't mean weak replay value- every week you get to download roster updates and challenges. This means that while watching ESPN, if you see a sick NBA play... you might get a chance to recreate the moment yourself through NBA 08. Plus Sony has LeaderBoards for these challenges (and online play, of course). When I bought this game there were 3 of us here. Within 2 hours of purchase we were all yelling at my set and having a great time. Later, motivated, we went out and played some ball of our own. This is THAT type of game. So my final recommendation would be: If you have 1080p/HDMI/HDCP (the graphics amaze),have PS3 online, and commonly play with friends/family, yes get it. Otherwise, I'd hesitate.
Best NBA game on PS3. January 8, 2008

This is the best NBA game on the PS3. I have played LIVE 08, 2K8, & NBA 08. This game has the best game play and graphics of the three. Features a deep franchise mode and an option to replay the best games of the current basketball season. Online is solid with very little lag. My only complaint is that there is some clipping when characters collide. Also there appears to be a lot of turnovers during fast break situations. All things a side, this is still a fun NBA game.
