I Love this game.
I purchased both NBA franchises and they are both great.
If you like the various aspects of EA NHL 07, this game gives you the same type of options except for basketball on-the-fly matchups, double teaming, changing to zone play, man-to-man, etc. Mav Albert (YES) is the main announcer. They actually have in-game conversations during gameplay about the players.
An example would be like when Shaq will have the ball or just scored and marv albert and his co-anchor discuss his "impact on the game"," his career at orlando majic", "how he will be missed when he retires soon".......This type of broadcast in a video game is priceless!! It will be interesting to see if EA can top this game in the to come. This game is 100% basketball in it's full glory. Graphics...well, makes your hairs stand on end good. EA is starting to expose what 360 is capable of displaying with the right developers at the helm. The only complaint i have is the free throw. Both franchises basically have the same free throw system and it is hard to figure out if you are releasing to early or too late. I guess it just takes more practice.
