NBA '08 : A glimpse at its features

Posted May 16, 2007 at 10:40PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3 Tags: Gilbert Arenas, NBA, PS2, San Diego, SIXAXIS, Sony

Gilbert Arenas may be getting on NBA Live 08's cover, but that's not the only thing going for the game of basketball in the PS3. Recently, IGN got quite an extensive interview with Sony Computer Entertainment San Diego's Senior Producer, Eric Waas, regarding Sony's latest game, NBA '08, and here are the bare essentials:

New Progression System - Create your own character then earn points by playing in different modes that can raise a player's performance and purchase unlockables.
Trophy room is tied to player progression - milestone goals earn you trophies
Richer online content - improved auto matching and leader board, video streaming
Improved replays - new "zoned" events in which players must mimic certain situations
Focused on more intelligent commentary - Kevin Calabro on play-by-play and Mark Jackson on commentary
Fine tuned features - more intuitive Sixaxis component
Skitching System - accurate and realistic player animations, more than 2000 unique animations
NBA Live 07 minigames now online
More realistic arenas - denser crowds, more natural lighting, unlockable introduction

That's quite a list of new features for NBA '08! Waas is proud about the new content and how they integrated feedback into making the series better. Will they break free from the suffering the series has been experiencing these recent years? Only time will tell. Expect the hoops shooting action on Q3 2007.
