This game is alot better then what people say.
The graphics are good for an old game, but the odd player will look nothing like there original counterpart.
Graphics 8/10
The sound is average for a basketball game. The commentary is repetitive after a while.
Sound 7.5/10
The story isnt really a story but the NBA replay mode is pretty good with having to go through real life achievements.
Story 9/10
The multiplayer is good because you can use a created player inside a match even when playing online but now they have dropped the online servers for NBA 08 so do not buy if you wanna play online.
Multiplayer 10/10
This game has lots of game modes and will keep you coming back until you actually fully max out your characters stats. So this game will have a heaps of replay time.
Replay 9.5/10
overall this game will last long even if your not a basketball fan.
score 9/10
