    No other basketball game can top this right now. EA move over!

    This game boasts the most brilliant animations ever in a hoops sim. The impressive gameplay remains intact and the presentation has been improved. Not quite perfect...but placed in a head-to-head with 'Live'? '2K7' blows out EA's disaster.

    This is simply the best basketball game I have ever played in my 10 years of gaming.

    What sets apart basketball from other sports is the individualism and personalities of the players. there are no helmets or padding to hide who they really are. for the first time since basketball video games became popular do you really feel a sense of this. teams play like how you watch them on tv.

Stars take over games like they should. They celebrate and have mannerisms exactly like their real life counter part. and the complaining! complaints are the number one thing that happen after every whistle call - and again, all in the game. I agree, some player models aren't as crisp as they should be, but gameplay over graphics any day, that's what I always say.… Expand

    Yo dawg i thought this game was pretty good but the referees make too many bad calls and the players throw bad passes. online is good though.

    Most Fun, most Realistic, baskeball game ever. Isomotion is a blast this year and the signature jumps shots make playing with your favorite player just that much more fun.

    This game is serious stuff! Best gameplay for a sports game that I have ever been privileged to play on. New animations are good but could be better, but the main thing is it it kicks NBA Live 07's a** like Shaq would kick Kobe's!

    This game is the best game in the world. I can play this game over and over and over again. Live is so fun to play on. This game has the best graphics in the world I love it. This game is definitely worth buying!

    The best basketball game of all time and I have pretty much played them all since EAs Bulls vs Blazers on the Sega Megadrive (Genesis). The only things that annoyed me and hence prevented me giving this game a 10, is the crappy menu interface, the ends of players shorts sometimes getting caught in their waist, too many steals and too few blocks.

The gameplay is so good though that these minor annoyances don't prevent it from being the best b'ball game out there. If you're looking for an NBA game, get this and avoid NBA Live 07 on XBOX 360 at all costs!… Expand

    If you like basketball, you can't help but enjoy NBA 2K7. Moving forward, 2K needs to make player faces look like human beings, improve some suspect clock AI on the part of the CPU, and work on making on-the-ball defense fun. Still, this is a damn good basketball game and your best option on the 360 this season.

    Sure, there are oodles of new animations and gameplay options, but many key issues went untouched. It's still a great choice for anyone who likes a realistic pace to their NBA video games, but it's not the defining basketball simulation that many were hoping for.

    I’m going to make this really simple: this is the greatest basketball game I’ve ever played. This is also the greatest one year leap I’ve ever seen in a series.
