  1. Another superbly entertaining basketball sim with some of the sickest visuals you've ever seen.
  2. It's not quite as satisfying as the Celtics adding Kevin Garnett and, Ray Allen to support Paul Pierce in one off-season, but what is?

    The gameplay is excellent! Graphics need some work though. Need to update player appearances. Team jersey colors need to be more accurate.The gameplay is excellent! Graphics need some work though. Need to update player appearances. Team jersey colors need to be more accurate. (ex. Piston's away jerseys look light blue instead of dark blue. Heat away jerseys look grey instead of black.) But overall, the game is great! I'm looking foward to 2K9! Full Review »
