The second came just these past two weeks, when I spent a great deal of time with EA Sports' NBA Live 2000.

The first salvo was fired by High Voltage and Microsoft when the two teamed up to release the truly excellent NBA Inside Drive 2000 late last summer. Now, thanks to two very good PC games, I might have to rethink that approach. Seeing this ignored, first by the marketers, then by the spoiled brat new generation of players, turned the NBA into an afterthought. Everyone on the floor has a crucial role to play. David Stern and his 'market the stars, screw the game' approach left me cold. Ah, where have you gone, Maurice Cheeks?įor the past decade, however, the NBA and I have been estranged. Seeing Kareem and my beloved Lakers take on the likes of the Elvin Hayes-led Rockets and the Julius Erving-helmed Sixers. A teenager tuning in to tape-delayed (damn you, CBS!) NBA playoff broadcasts late at night, keeping the volume on the old black-and-white 14-incher in my bedroom down low so my parents couldn't hear. Compared to the earliest versions, 2K18 looks like a live broadcast of a real game and it serves to immerse you in the game like never before.It's almost twenty years ago now, but I remember like it was yesterday. Whichever way you play, you’ll find that the graphics are a step up from previous generations of the games.

If you’re just looking to brush up on your skills, however, single-player capability is also optional and lets you play against the computer at whichever difficulty level you choose. With multi-player and capabilities, you can challenge your friends and family one-on-one to find out who stands above the rest. The NBA series of games has always been about friendly competition, so it’s no surprise that NBA 2K18 offers the same challenge. Everything from team jerseys to the announcers and commentators is straight out of real life for a true NBA experience. Apart from playing on the court yourself, it’s the closest you’ll get to the pros with like-like graphics and player likeness. Like the iterations of the classic NBA game before it, NBA 2K18 lets users play as their favourite players and teams within the National Basketball League. NBA 2K18 is a fantastic basketball video game, available across a number of platforms, including Android and iOS. Kyle Juffs Updated 4 years ago For NBA fans old and new
