- Sprite Slam Dunk Contest: Live from Las Vegas, 2K is bringing you the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, hosted by street legend Bobbito Garcia. Choose from hundreds of dunks and a vast array of props as you compete against the NBA's finest dunkers in this 4 player event. The Sprite Slam Dunk Contest is also playable online - it's here that you can prove to the world that you are the greatest dunker there is.
- More Signature Style: Customizable Free Throws, Dribble Moves, and Dunks give users total control over the way their favorite players play on the court. All new signature shots from many of your favorite NBA players, including #1 draft choice Greg Oden, as well as individual post and dribble moves, makes NBA 2K8 the most authentic NBA simulation on the market.
- Off-Ball Control: Run quick on the fly sets to get your favorite player the ball in the best situation for him to get a quick bucket. Use the Get Open button for a fast play, or call for the exact situation you want with the Off-Ball Control menu. On offense, you now have the option to switch off the ball handler to other players where you can call for alley-oops, jostle for post-position, set screens, etc.
- A Whole New Look: Every NBA player has been completely redone to improve likenesses and overall graphical quality. Kevin Harlan and Kenny Smith now deliver emotionally charged commentary and the new Game Wrap-Up feature allows you to choose the kind of post game show you watch.
- Lock-On D: All-new defensive controls give users more control of their player than ever before! Use the right analog to play tighter defense on the ball-handler, body up on the ball handler, and run advanced defensive sets.
The king of the hard court is back and better than ever with the all-new Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. NBA 2K8 continues a five year legacy as the #1 rated NBA simulation with in-game features that bring basketball to life like never before.

After reading the reviews on the net I was expecting a little more to be honest. However, it is quite a solid game with pretty good graphics, but i'm just not that much of a basketball fan - thought id take a pop at the delightful price that Play are selling it at. Basically if you like basketball then defo go for it, if not I guess you will more than likely be into football so get FIFA 08 if you don't have it.
One of the BEST

I think that this game would great for any basketball fan. The reason being that and game play is the best there is, personalised dunks for every player and are stylish and huge. You can also create your own player and enter him into any roster, you can force the trades, so basically you can create any team you want. But the downfall that this games graphics are not as great as NBA Live 08 BUT the graphics are still very good. Its a great improvement from NBA 2K7. I have got the game from play.com and at this price nothing can beat it
good, not perfect

its the perfect game for gameplay and basketball, with brilliant graphics and good gameplay but if you dont really understand the mechaniches of how non domestic sports work the "assosiation mode" can be difficult at the end of the seaon becuase it doent really explain how to re-sign players or how the siging period at the end of the seaon works and runs
