The best basketball is back and now it's next gen. NBA 2K7 is the new poster child for a great next gen basketball game. It's a real simulator. a center can't run the ball up the court without a very high risk of having it stollen. Players move fluidly and the dunks are realistic. The gameplay modes like season, tounament, and franchise modes are all in. This years 24/7 is a little bit flimsy but that is pretty much the only gripe about NBA 2K7. What an excellent basketball game. EA just may have to buy an exclusive deal with the NBA to stop 2K sports from taking over the basketball scene like they were about to do with football.

Average at best, nothing special, but the best choice out there for now. Graphics aren't all the impressive and the game seems a bit sluggish, but if you must have a basketball game this is it.

While the B-Ball war between Sony, 2K, and Ea rages on EA and Sony seem to be trying to simply be better than the other but 2K isn't. They are trying to make a fun, in depth, good basketball game. Now you have three choices NBA Live 07, NBA 07, or NBA 2K7. 2K7 has a much better franchise. So does Live but the game play stinks so no one cares. NBA 07 has a one year franchise. But enough about the war and more about 2K7. It's the only NBA game where you can actually call plays besides just pick and roll and double team. You can call plays during time-outs like 2-3 zone 1-2-1-2 zone basically any formation you can think of.

Ea is so much better. 2K dosen't have a chance. Ea is so much better. The controls and gameplay suck.
