Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Best basketball game there is. Comment: I really enjoy this game. Very dynamic. Not easy to beat on the highest level, but not too hard either. Highly recommended for any basketball game lover. Customer Rating: Summary: Better than the last one... Comment: I liked this one a little bit better than the last one. But I don't like how you still have to change the settings in terms of the strengths of the team. To me, it should automatically save, for example, the coaching setting for auto and or manual timeouts and/or substitutions. You should be able to save that once you select it but you cannot, you have to keep changing it. Also, when you create a player, why not show his face on the screen? there is always the gray shaded default. Also, I miss Kenny's half-time show and opinions they got rid of that. I don't like the new half time break commentation. But those are minor things compared to the game play and graphics which are awesome! I do love how when you create a player now it just asks you if you want to assign him to a team. It is not as complicated as it was before and it is easier to trade players as well. Customer Rating: Summary: NBA 2k8 is great Comment: well, the game is a very hood game. very detailed plays that you can call out, if you want to have a challenge i suggest you play on hall of fame or against a friend, but i warn you it could turn you into enemies. the dribble moves arent in the manual so you'll have to figure it out yourself. Customer Rating: Summary: Very fun game! Comment: Enjoyable since the beginning. Very fun game, great graphics, real gameplay. Everything a good gamer would want in an NBA game!!! Customer Rating: Summary: An upgrade from last year ! Comment: In the last review I was overly harsh on the game! In this review I give it more credit for being great. It's definitely better than 2k7, but I could not find a dribble move button to shake defenders which makes it difficult to make shots and drive to the lane without being called for a charge. The rest of the game is great with a few small complaints here and there but nothing significant to not recommend it to other gamers. With all that has been said it is a great game worthy of buying until 2k9 gets released in the fall.
