This game is worth the $40 price tag
24/7 mode is a streetball mode that puts you against other nba players to earn a rep to get to new york to participate in the legends charity tournament. they have all new street-specific moves for street modes. the story is okay and the acting is kind of corny. but it is very fun altogether.
The association is the franchise mode of the game. it puts you in charge of the general manager duty and you set up practices, check your email, develop your players, scout, get the 411 on the stats, and play the games. Online is very great and you will really enjoy it. ranked or unranked matches, street, tournaments, leagues, its all there.
The multiplayer is great also, so go ahead and pick up your friend and have a day of ballin'!
This game is a must pick if you have a ps3 and pay any attention to sports at all. and its on $40 so it wont break your budget too much.
