After playing the game for 3 months, I have to say that the game is very fragmented in terms of quality. VERY fragmented. Some parts are absolutely incredibly well done. Player movement and emulation of real-life players are awesome, definitely best ever. Association mode is as good as it’s ever been, and the defensive lockdown feature is a nice add-on. Also, the way they’ve approached player attributes is brilliant.
On the other hand, other parts are horrendously executed. There’s a fine line between challenging and blatantly cheap, and this game flies way past that line many times. There are many instances where clearly nobody tested the game for quality (a great example is the 1st of 2 free throws always having a slight delay; they have fixed this problem with a patch).
So overall this game has to be a 3 of 5 stars because half the game is outstanding while the other half is some of worst I’ve seen in 20 years of playing games and ~10 years of playing basketball games specifically (no exaggeration here, I can’t recall being more frustrated at a game in recent memory).
All-in-all, I do recommend all basketball game fans get this game because of the good parts. At times (assuming you’re relatively hard to please like me) you’ll want to smash the disk with a hammer, but in then end I think it’s worth it, especially if you like Association/Franchise mode. I can’t emphasize enough how well done and refined that part is.

I have been awed by 2k sports since 2k. The football games 2k-2k2 were fantastic and the basketball 2k-2k1 was simply the best. Even Major League Baseball or World Series (whatever it was called) 2k1 was freaking amazing.
I finally got a cable modem and went online with NBA 2k7 for the first time at the tail end of its thunder. Once 2k8 came out, the lobbies for 2k7 were a ghost town. So I got it. Chris Paul’s on the cover, I’m a New Orleans guy, my favorite b-ball franchise player on the cover of my favorite b-ball game franchise (hmmm, 2k2 sucked, but overall . .); how can this go wrong?
Before I go any further, I haven’t thrown a controller across the room since I was nine. Well, I didn’t exactly do that, but I haven’t been pissed over a video game in at least a decade.
Needless to say, this game makes my blood boil.
The countless hours I have spent refining my 2k basketball skillz mean nothing for this edition. I get beat almost everytime I play online.
I even love the graphics, too. I like the lock-on defense. The free throws are kind of stupid, since you can’t use your shot stick online; you’re forced to use the damn six axis feature; again, stupid.
I want it to be simpler. I don’t desire to learn plays! I want to see an alley-oop and if the person I’m playing doesn’t lock on me, I want to yank that alley-oop in his grill. But I have had this game now since pre-season began. I still haven’t figured how to alley-oop the ball. This is . . . this is totally unacceptable.
I’m going to sell that game before it loses anymore value ya’ll.

I also appreciate them abandoning the DRM scheme for PC with Bioshock so I give them an extra star for that. Plus I hate everything EA now.

O melhor jogo de basquete joguei na minha vida!
Eh uma otimo jogo, otimos graficos, otima jogabilidade, nao tenho mais o que falar. O unico ponto ruim deste jogo eh a rede, no inicio dava muitos lags principalmente quando jogava com gringos, depois das ultima atualizacoes nao tenho mais este problema, mas conseguir iniciar um jogo em rede so depois de varias tentativas de enviar e receber convites. Tirando este problema da rede o jogo eh perfeito. Mas eh muito ruim, porque o que mais gosto eh jogar em rede

I bought it mostly for my son. The game’s a lot of fun. I haven’t figured out, how to do a few things yet. I don’t have alot of time for it either. Foul shooting with the PS3 is definitly more difficult. I’m an old head though, this game and its tricks are for kids.
