Plus: Takes a little time to learn, but you can play a half-court or uptempo offense at a pretty decent level. Gameplay graphics are solid. Open shots are relevant. Knowing something about basketball helps you win games. When you get a shoulder ahead of somebody, it's realistically easy to take it to the rack. Players don't randomly adjust shots (aka some previous NBA Live games) if a defender is in their way. Random trick-stick mashers can be beaten by simply switching to an off-ball defender and providing help on the ball carrier. Minus: Atrocious free throw system. With online play the lag requires you to release the trigger sooner, causing you to have two sets of free throw routines. If you're moving in a direction when you pass, the ball will automatically lead the receiver of the pass in the direction you're going (i.e. running passes are needlessly difficult). Menu graphics are mediocre. Can't easily configure online camera settings, requiring a 15 second delay before every online game starts. Opponents can abuse timeouts by pausing and quickly resuming the game. In practice, the game will tell you that you have a perfect release at any point near the top of your jump when your release was only close. The shot bricks off and you have to guess whether you held it for too much or too little time. This often flows into games (plus the lag to the jumpshot), causing you to brick a lot more open threes than you should. Playing defense as a human is near impossible when covering guards. Not enough attempts to draw charges are made when you do the cutoff move. Not enough charges are called. Sometimes guys like Allen Iverson will just slice through two guys and be ignored by the rest of your team and get an easy layup. Slashing point guards have way too much ability to make acrobatic layups in this game. The theoretical remedy of zone defense doesn't work. Zone defense is abysmal in this game. Your teammates will randomly leave their zones when the ball is nowhere near them and/or when there's no opponent trying to cut to get open. Defenders will just walk away from the guy who has the ball in his hands. I bought the game because it got much better reviews than NBA Live did. I played Live 06, and it was a mediocre trick-stick mashfest. This game is much more realistic than Live, but it's still a ways away from being "NBA-Like."Read full review
This game has its ups and downs. I will start with the bad stuff first. During game play the game seems to tweak a little bit. For instance when you are shooting free throws and you sub a player in, the shooter from the other team can still shoot there free throw, all the while your players are still coming on the court, thus giving them the advantage of getting the rebound. Also sometimes it takes forever for the ref to give you the ball before you inbound the pass. Another bad thing is the B button does not work as a back button, you use the joy stick to go back, but it brings you all the way back to the title screen, very frustrating. Okay now with the good stuff. You can play online with 3 other buddies ( total of 4 ) on the same console, so no one feels left out and you can all play against real live opponents, very fun!!! Also the game play is excellent, better then NBA live, it is more realistic ( if you have it on the harder gameplay level ). If you are going to buy a basketball game for the 360, then you should definitely get NBA 2K7.Read full review
Pros + Gorgeous graphics that look ultra realistic with integrated cutscenes. + Tons of different game modes to choose from. + Fun online multiplayer with a smooth framerate and no lag. Cons - Having to tweak the gameplay before it can actually be fun. - Dumber than average CPU AI that always does the same thing unless you tweak it yourself. - Terrible freethrows. Comments If you have to choose one Pro NBA game this season, NBA 2K7 is highly recommended over NBA Live 07. Character models look flesh not plastic. And the online is superb with virtually no lag. There is a slight ability to mess up your opponent when shooting a freethrow that is annoying though as if it wasn't already hard enough to do. But this is so much better than EA's juggernaut that it's really not even funny. Verdict The best NBA game out this season so if you must own one this should be it.Read full review
It is a excellent game with stellar graphics. the game engine beyond the graphics are just amazing as well. the real life physics and movements in the game are just scary to note. Another thing I loved was the actual player uniqueness, and not just on foul shots. We are talking dunks signature jumpshots, layups, you call it and it is there for Kobe as a superstar or even those not so NBA 'starish' like Reggie Evans (who?). It is a nice overall game and the CG built around the characters to perform so amazing AI is just too human like. Controls are just like last years if you are a fan and easy for the newcomers. If you play basketball (reality) you'll notice the feel for it compared to 2K's amazing control system. Oh, did I mention I only played the demo from XBL?? Amazing! Extended review coming when I get the full version (come on eBay).Read full review
Best NBA Game made. Super realistic, GREAT online play/records. Great custom creating for teams/players etc. When you play online it auto downloads REALTIME rosters for the NBA. If you're competitive like me you will spend most of your time playing people online. You know how back in the day you would be the best in your house or neighborhood at a game and think nobody can beat you? Hahaha come online. Truly test your skills. Oh another thing i really liked is during halftime/player of the game it actually saves game clips you did with the person and shows a collage of them. And you can save plays etc during an instant replay thing. Its just great. 3
