FEATURES- NBA 2K8 PS2
The king of the hard court is back and better than ever with the
all-new Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. NBA 2K8 continues a five year
legacy as the #1 rated NBA simulation with in-game features that
bring basketball to life like never before.
Sprite Slam Dunk Contest
Live from Las Vegas, 2K is bringing you the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest,
hosted by street legend Bobbito Garcia. Choose from hundreds of dunks
and a vast array of props as you compete against the NBA's finest
dunkers in this 4 player event. The Sprite Slam Dunk Contest is also
playable online; it's here that you can prove to the world that you are
the greatest dunker there is.
More Signature Style
Customizable Free Throws, Dribble Moves, and Dunks give users total
control over the way their favorite players play on the court. All new
signature shots from many of your favorite NBA players, including #1
draft choice Greg Oden, as well as individual post and dribble moves,
makes NBA 2K8 the most authentic NBA simulation on the market.
Off-Ball Control
Run quick on the fly sets to get your favorite player the ball in the
best situation for him to get a quick bucket. Use the Get Open button
for a fast play, or call for the exact situation you want with the Off-
Ball Control menu. On offense, you now have the option to switch off the
ball handler to other players where you can call for alley-oops, jostle
for post-position, set screens, etc.
A Whole New Look
Every NBA player has been completely redone to improve likenesses and
overall graphical quality. Kevin Harlan and Kenny Smith now deliver
emotionally charged commentary and the new Game Wrap-Up feature allows
you to choose the kind of post game show you watch.
Lock-On D
All-new defensive controls give users more control of their player than
ever before! Use the right analog to play tighter defense on the ball-
handler, body up on the ball handler, and run advanced defensive sets.
The Association
Run your franchise by identifying player roles, balancing playing time,
and keeping team morale up. The Hoopcast Simulator makes simulating
games exciting while SimCentral centralizes all necessary information
for real-time stats, standing, injuries, and much more.
2K Online
Nobody does online gaming like 2K Sports and this year we have added
tons of new features including a news ticker that updates you with
sports headlines across the country, a user customizable Front Page
display, and a Co-op mode that allows 2 users to play on the same team
against the AI.
2K8 Soundtrack

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. The gameplay is what really sticks out in this game. It is easy to see the court, the passing is flawless, and the game has plenty of modes. I really liked how you could pick from retro, regular, and secondary jerseys for your team to wear. The developers really took time to make each player realistic and have their own unique abilities. The commentators are repetitive and annoying, but they are pretty acurate. The controls are pretty simple and are easy to pick up. The biggest dissapointment: NO SLAM DUNK CONTEST!!!!!!!! If they added that, I would have given this game 5 stars! If you have the chance, spend the extra money and buy it for the 360 or PS3. The graphics are much better than the PS2, and there's a slam dunk contest. NBA 2K8 is the best b-ball game for 2008 right now, so any basketball fan should buy it-especially for the good price. |  | Reviewed on 2008-02-10
Good Game
Bought this game for my son and he is enjoying it. From time to time we play together, but he is starting to learn the game and pick up on some of the teams (Yes!!!). Graphics aren't the greatest and stealing the ball is somewhat easy. Other than that, it is a fun game. | | Reviewed on 2008-01-28
BEST GAME FOR PS2!!
This game is probably one of the greatest games i have ever played
sure they miss a lot of layups but that can always be fixed by the game sliders
i still dont like the fact that they didnt change the players to their new faces like steve nash with his new hair cut and stuff like that but its pretty good
new signature shots and I LOVE TEH DUNKS THEY ARE AMAZING
this is way better than 2k7 and i definately recommend it especially at this cheap price | | Reviewed on 2008-01-07
The best basketball video game!
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! | | Reviewed on 2007-12-28
Don't expect much...
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. | |
