The most well-rounded, entertaining, and error-free hoops offering this season. Plenty of modes and gameplay depth combine with stunning visuals and presentation to make NBA 2K7 this year’s king of the court and a must own for PS3-owning hoops fans.

NBA 2K7 is easily the greatest basketball game ever made regardless of the platform you play it on. It will please NBA fans infinitely and it will make non-fans appreciate the sport even more.

In terms or sheer gameplay and polish we think the crown this year firmly belongs to NBA2K7.

Love basketball? NBA 2K7 is all you need. It’s faster, more realistic, and more naturally executed than the competition.

NBA 2K7 is still the best basketball game out there, and it's improved thanks to the SIXAXIS controller, turning an already impressive title into a great one.

Signature shots, oodles of gameplay modes, feature-rich online play, and great on-court action are just some of the many areas in which NBA 2K7 excels.

This year, there's no finer hoops experience to be had on any console.

The IsoMotion controls are still difficult to master, and the story-driven 24/7 mode still lacks decent team AI, but these faults pale in comparison to the amount of things Visual Concepts does right with this hoops title.

There are enough gameplay modes available here to appeal to any basketball fan, whether it be the competitive head-to-head fan, the franchise-loving simulation freak, or even those who can't get enough over-the-top streetball action.

Although a few niggles still remain it’s by far the best serious basketball game currently available.

Easily the best basketball sim on the market. [Apr 2007, p.131]

Pure Magazine UK
Without doubt the best 'real' basketball game to hit the PS3 but is far from unbeatable because every sports game needs that 'pick up and play' factor to get players hooked. [Apr 2007, p.57]

Playstation Official Magazine UK
The most authentic sports game available on PS3 at present. [May 2007, p.112]

PSM Magazine
Competition or not, there isn't a better PS3 basketball game. [Feb. 2007, p.79]

Most frustrating of all, however, is that the game can be amazing at times. [Issue 148, p.80]

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
All of this makes for a great basketball game that should satisfy the cravings of any hungry Playstation 3-owning basketball fan. [Jan. 2007, p.70]

We give the nod to NBA 2K7 [over "NBA 07"] for its superior in-game management and franchise development mode.

This Game is just like the real thing. The beginning of the game, halftime reports! The game is better than NBA Live!

David H. gave it a10:
This is as close to playing in the NBA without actually stepping onto the court. The presentation, graphics, animations, and computer A.I. are all top notch. The addition of signature shots is brilliant. Every player shoots like he does in real life, and because the graphics are so good, it looks like you're watching a real televised NBA game. The soundtrack is also excellent, full of head-bopping music. I can't wait 'till I get an HDTV so I can I can experience this game in Hi-def! It's unbelievable. This is a must-have for all basketball fans. Even non-basketball fans will be impressed. "What teams are playing? Oh, this is a videogame?!!"
