 Get Used To ItApr 07, 2005
By E. Meyers
Since I found out what games were launching with the PSP, NBA was one of the ones on my list. Even after Gamespot and other pre-review sites smashed it, I thought it still may be good. The first day I had it, I was very skeptical. I was thinking that it really wasnt that good, and I was thinking of returning it. But then, after about 4 games, I got used to gameplay, most importantly the shooting, and the game turned around. It became a very fast paced and fun game, even against the computer. While it doesnt compare to ESPN NBA Basketaball 2k5 (Best basketball sim ever), it still is great, especially for a game you can take anywhere. If you get it, keep at it for a few days, and youll realize that it is a great little game, that is very, very addicting.

 Another Rushed PSP TitleAug 10, 2005
By Matthew B. Scott
"mabscott"
Clearly 989, under pressure from Sony, rushed this game to market with little or no QA and testing. A good review of the rules of basketball - particularly the ridiculous back-court violations that occur in this game following blocked shots would have been a good start. Additionally, better play calling capabilities would make the game a bit more intelligent. Its fun and the graphics are good - but the being able to lob the ball the length of the court to Ray Allen who will hit a three everytime isn't the best mark of game design. Lot's of silly glitches and errors in this game and no attention to detail - players names aren't announced, no play-by-play put this game well below the standards set by other sports titles.

 Could've Been BetterJul 30, 2005
I am a huge NBA fan, and I love NBA games... but this truly disappointed me. I think the price is about 5 or 10 dollars too high. Yes, it does have 2 player, and it's the only game I have ever seen the Skills Challenge from the All-Star Weekend, but it was not very entertaining. For example, you have to have 4 minute quarters in Season Mode, while in a pickup game, you can choose. I really hate that because you only have about say a 35 point game, while all of the other teams get scores around 90 points. So, you don't get a fair chance at getting into the All-Star Game. (even though I made it) Here are my final ratings.
Gameplay= 7/10
Audio= 8/10
Graphics= 7/10
Controls= 4/10
Features= 6/10
Overall= 7/10

first officail nba game!Jul 27, 2005
By Derek Ryder
this game is fun i should say that the controls put this game down alot but its fun when your used too them and also if you take your mind off of the control thing you'll see this game is good the graphics are soo good for a small system like this the mini games are fun too i love doing the practice though cuz you can just throw the ball or dunk! forever! its really fun especialy when you do that you'll get the controls down in less than 30 minutes! sound is excellent! but still people won't like it or maybe hate it they should rent it first cuz like i said you hate it or love it but i loved it the first day it came out!
oh yeah the game will run better on firmware 1.50 and the graphcis are better too i only know that because i have two psp's
graphics 9.9/10 only good on firmware 1.50's and higher but other ones like 0.50 or lower is 7/10
sound 10/10
gameplay 7/10 better on firmware 1.50's and higher but other ones like i said would be 5/10
soo have fun and when buying a psp look a side and see if it says A thats firmware 1.50 soo look on the box on the left of right side with the price thing?

 NBA CoolApr 23, 2005
This is the best game I have ever played. The graphics are like a PS2. This game is better than the NCAA March Madness by a long shot. this game will make you fell like you are actually at the game. My favorite tear is the Miami Heat. They ever have all the all stars be play when you play. I was sure right when I heard that there was going to be an nba game that I must have it.
