I played 2k6 for the PS2 and enjoyed it bunches so I was really excited to get 2k7 for my brand spankin new 360. It's still a good game but wasn't exactly as I'd hoped. First and foremost the menu system used here is the worst in the history of sports games. Using the right stick to bring up the menu is the dumbest idea ever. Anyway on the graphics. The player models look terrific with just the right amount of sweat and the way the jersey's and shorts move and sway is amazing. The only bad spots are the post game and highlight shows which obviously weren't payed much attention to. The sound is the best part of the game. Stadiums are rocking and the announcers do a good job. The gameplay is solid but needs a ton of tweaking and slide adjusting. Way too many layups are missed and the CPU gets way to many offensive boards on the default settings and even when the sliders are adjusted appropriately it still seems off. The shot stick is an idea I like but sometimes it causes your player to take bad shots. On defense it can be almost impossible to stick with the quicker guys. You teammates do a decent job of jumping into passing lanes and helping you out on D. On offense their are some AI gaffs and stupid canned animations. For example when you pass to a player in the post or on a fast break they will go into a catching animation that will cause them to jump out and lose their post position or stop on the fast break right in front of the basket. Very frustrating. The legacy mode is somewhat frightening for a guy like me who mostly just wants to play games. I recommend this game to any college bball fan but there's still room to grow.
