Decent debut

User Rating: 7.5 | NBA 2K7 PS3
By TheNIM | Review Date:
I have played this game for all 4 systems. This version is a decent game for the ps3, but yet again, falls short of it's 360 counterpart. The graphics appear to be a SLIGHT upgrade, but the gameplay takes at least 2 steps back. In 1080p, the framrate again is weak. The controls are a little crazy and the motion sensor plays a minimal factor. Free throw shooting is realisitic, not too hard and I didnt like how gamespot reviewers are complaining about that. It adds a realism factor and no longer are free throws a gimme. The shot animations are stellar and the sound effects of the ball going through the rim and net are superb.

Where this game lacks is in, at times, gameplay. The frame rate is bothersome and somewhat distracting. Fastbreaks hardly develop like they should and your own players get in the way way too much. Sometimes calling a play takes a long time to develop. A gfood game that could be a whole lot better.
