The best yet
Although Basketball is nowhere near as popular in the UK as it is in the States, this game is a must. The overall gameplay and presentation on the XBox 360 is a big step up from previous EA Sports offering on other consoles.
Graphics are superb, but HDTV (which I don't have) must be even better. All the usual EA Sports extras are there and their presentation is first class making this game a must have.
The crowd reactions at crucial points of the game are a great touch and give the game added realism. Controls are easy to grasp and even if you are not knowledgeable on the sport its easy to get buy.
If you like sports game and have a few quid to spare then get this game. One of the best sports sims I have ever played. Only bad point is it will take you an age to get to grips with the slam dunk comp.

Don't play this game.
I'm a 2K9 guy now but I saw this game had one review and had to provide my experience from a few years ago with this game. As a basketball fan, I strive for a game that is either extremely fun to play or represents the game well. Now both Live and 2K achieved this in one way or another for their 2008 and 2009 releases, but EA Sports dropped the ball with 07, badly. The game may be possibly better looking than 2k7, but that is where the superiority stops.

Animations were extremely buggy, meaning the gameplay lacked any fluidity whatsoever. The control scheme was extremely confusing and unresponsive. The frame rate was extremely poor and made the game almost unplayable. On a positive note, the dynasty mode is extremely solid and has good ideas, but 2K7's is just as good if not better.

If you are considering this as a bargain, don't even think about it. Buy NBA 2K7 which is probably cheaper. You could also consider the NBA Live games that followed this one (08 or 09) as they are fun to play and far superior to 07 or the 2K series (2k8, 2k9) for unparalleled realism. It's a bit more expensive but trust me, it's worth it not to play this broken game.
