Basketball Games don't get any better than this. I mean the graphics are great, The Association mode is great and the fact that it doesn't take up as much memory as NBA Live 07 is great. This game has the players acutal jumpshots which I like. The graphics are beautiful and there is no unstoppable player in this game. Sure there is no 24/7 mode in the PS2 version, but I personally won't miss that because there are days in everyones life where they don't have time to play or they get a new game that they want to play, or something like that. I like the Association Mode on this game better than Dynasty Mode on NBA Live. 5 reatsons that The Association is better than Dynasty: 1. Easier to make trades, therefore making it easier to make a good team 2. Has a minimum salary that you can sign a free agent on no matter what your salary cap is. 3. When you train a player, it has a direct impact on the player, so it is easier to make a good player 4. Team chemistry and progressive fatigue, making it more realistic 5. Two words: Good Rookies So this game gets the thumbs up from the "simon" of video games as some call me

Great game; loads of fun. I was a bit dissapointed the 24/7 mode was not present on the PS2 version, but that was one of my "FEW "disspointments. Overall, the graphic arn't much of a step forward from last years, but they're still great. Great gameplay, and a few minor glitches (a couple arms going through people here an there). A Must Get for Any Baller.
