To accompany the fast-paced action of basketball, NBA 08 introduces a brand new progression system. Players earn skill and experience rewards that they can use to fully customize the appearance and play style of their characters.
With a control system enhanced compared to last year and making greater use of SIXAXIS features, players enjoy new and complete movements, with or without the ball.
This year, character models have also been updated with new animations, more dynamic movements, and new textures for a more realistic look. Additionally, the user interface has been completely redesigned to adopt a retro NBA style, from menus to loading screens. To immerse players in the heart of the action, NBA 08 offers for the first time full and detailed audio commentary, provided by renowned commentators. The game includes a fully revamped user interface, redesigned character models and environments, as well as a powerful online system with player profiles and quick play options.
