Product Details of ESPN NBA Basketball Xbox

Description

While it might seem like a simple game, basketball at the NBA level is an ever-evolving phenomenon. To some, pro basketball is all about an image - how you look on the court and how good you look when playing. To others, the NBA game is all about speed - crossing over a flat-footed defender and initiating the fast break for the finishing slam. In basketball, it takes offensive precision and determined defense to capture the victory, and no video game takes all the excitement and realism of the NBA to the next level quite like ESPN NBA Basketball.

ESPN NBA Basketball Xbox

Strengths: Realistic graphics, good team play

Weakness: Iso motion not very good

Because this is the first X-Box game I've purchased, I may not be the best person to write a review, but I'm writing it to get my $5 rebate. I have played b-ball games on older systems, like Playstation and Dreamcast, and this one clearly puts those to shame. For one, the players look much more realistic. The detail put into each player, including their facial features, hair styles, and even...

Strengths: Great Bargain Bin Price, Lots of different game modes, Create a play is pretty cool, Sega Makes the best Sport games! More facial details than NBA Live.

Weakness: Graphics & Game Soundtrack isn't as good as NBA live 2004.

ESPN NBA 2K4, By far I think Sega Makes better sports titles than EA games, when this game was released last year, it was retailed for $19.99, unlike EA games goin for $50 bones. Still EA has ups in some area over this game, but for the money, it won't cost you an arm & a leg for this game. Pros: Sweet Create a player option, Xbox live suppport, Fun party game, realistic facial impression, lot of...

ESPN NBA Basketball Xbox

Strengths: Great ESPN presentation, 720p HDTV support, custom soundtracks

Weakness: Scripted animations, not enough player control, a little buggy

Whether you're a diehard basketball fan or just a casual gamer, ESPN NBA Basketball has something to interest you. Basketball fans will enjoy the authentic ESPN presentation and assortment of features and options, while casual gamers can tailor the game to be more arcade-like. The street mode offers a nice change of pace, with authentic street courts and flashy action. If you want to create your...

Strengths: great franchise

Weakness: weak online play

This game is great. The graphics are top notch, and the sound is excellent. It does have online play but when i played it online it froze alot. The game is well worth your money.

ESPN NBA Basketball Xbox

Strengths: Excellent game. Gameplay is true to the NBA. Graphics are the best for any basketball game available now. Sound is also excellent.

This game has all kinds of gameplay that will keep a basketball fan happy for months. The franchise mode for playing through many seasons with your favorite team is excellent. There are many street games that can be set up for arcade play and the 24/7 mode is almost a role playing game for basketball.

ESPN NBA Basketball

While the NBA season is just beginning and has yet to heat up, the battle for the thumbs of Xbox-owning hoopsters is already approaching playoff time intensity. EA Sports' NBA Live 2004 is the best the franchise has looked this millennium, and Microsoft's Inside Drive has gotten better with each new release. To counter, Sega has retooled its 2K line in order to roll out a brand-new ESPN-branded...

NBA Live 2004 ramps up the defense and piles on the features for an impressive all-around game, but some game-balance issues remain.

ESPN NBA Basketball

Antoine Walker is still on the Celtics. There you have it. That's what's wrong with ESPN NBA Basketball. Okay, there are some other things too, but nothing that stops it from being crowned the king of the courts, the cream of the cream of the crop, the best basketball game of the year. Besides, that's what online roster updates are for.
