Things may be a tad stiffer than they are now, but I do like how the game is not just all about offense. They also put in this three-point shooting contest which at first I was like “meh” but this was even more addictive than the slam dunk contest!įor an older basketball game, NBA 2K8 plays pretty damn well on the court. You can add various props to make your dunk more spectacular and score yourself more points. You have 30 seconds to pull of dunks with the use of flicking the analog stick in various directions. I remember people being very excited for the slam dunk contest that was added to this game.

I want to start by talking about what NBA 2K8 brought to the series for the first time. I had way more fun playing this game than I thought I would have, so much so that I ended up going down a rabbit hole where I played some of the older 2K games and I had an awesome time doing so. It is kind of crazy to go and look back at a game like NBA 2K8, it is even crazier to think that even though this is an older game in the series, it was still the ninth game in the franchise! I think that this was released at a time when the 2K series still had a lot of heart and soul and was not all about microtransactions.
