Re: NBA 2K7: Looking Back At The Classic Hoops Sim

I loved 2K7. But man that game was an ice skating mess. No real momentum at all which detracted from the realism. But the game was ahead of its time for sure. Those graphics were the most 'cartoony' of the series though, IMO.

I agree.

This was the one right here. If you were around here back then you know what hype is. samuel40 ([/hipster]) contributed greatly to that. It was nuts, and it paid off because the game was great.

Re: NBA 2K7: Looking Back At The Classic Hoops Sim

I still play 2K7 regularly. Just played it 2 days ago, and still love it. Graphics are awesome, and I'm still tweaking sliders/edits for best experience.

2K8 was more realistic and graphics were more real (though not as good as 2K7...yes it's possible to look more real - yet not be as good visually), but there's something that just draws me back to 2K7 after I play 2K8 (play it every now and then).

NBA 2K8 was the game that brought me back to the 2K series

First game I had on 360. Thought it looked amazing and I wasn't even playing in HD at first.

Re: NBA 2K7: Looking Back At The Classic Hoops Sim

Oh yes, the memories. 2006 was when I got my 360 so this was my first next-gen sports title. I had played a little bit of Live 06 and 2k6 at a friends, but 2k7 had me as hyped as I've ever been for a sports game. And after that game, my expectations for basketball videogames shattered the glass ceiling. I loved 2k8, but it didn't meet the expectations I had after 2k7. In fact, I didn't get near that same level of satisfaction until 2k11.

But regardless, we've come along way. I know we're never satisfied in this forum but the ground we've covered from 2k7 to 2k14 is substantial. Especially in comparison to other sports games over this generation. You don't hear anyone saying "I kept my xbox just so I could play NBA 2k5" or even "2k hasn't made a good game since NBA 2k7." I hope it continues through the next generation of consoles. Questionable marketing tactics or not, they've earned the benefit of my doubt for the next couple of years.
