    NBA 08, the officially licensed game has arrived on PlayStation 2 that combines traditional arcade basketball with an almost "Sims" like quality with a unique story targeting the gamer. Featuring new AI, new game moves and a variety of other improvements, NBA 08 seems great on paper, however the crux of the matter is that it's becoming a little long in the tooth... that is, on the PlayStation 2.

    Because the PS2 is on its way out, you wouldn't expect Sony to put a lot of new features into NBA 08, but it certainly wouldn't have been unreasonable to expect a bit more effort cleaning up some of 07's flaws.
