NBA 2K8

The controls still remain the same from previous versions with some added tweaks. One of which is where players can switch to other players on offense besides the ball handler and set up alley-oops and set up screens to fool defenses. Players can also use the right analog stick for defensive purposes, locking onto opponents and run defensive plays against them. There is also Signature Style, giving the NBA players in the game a more life-like and fluid feel.

There is also a Slam Dunk Contest sponsored by Sprite with the ability to use over 300 different dunk variations as well as compete against four other opponents online. Music in the game is provided by well-known rappers such as Q-Tip, Run-DMC, Percee P among many others.

The Playstation 2 console was released on January 2007 and is the primary platform for this game. The genre of the game is Sports.
