NBA 08 is officially licensed by the NBA and offers basketball and games fans a uniquely lifelike experience. The PS3 title leads the way with hugely advanced graphics and realistic gameplay which will take you straight into the heat of battle. One of the world's fastest, most dynamic and most skilful sports, NBA basketball will bounce onto PS3 with High Definition visuals and next-gen technology - and the results are as spectacular as some of the moves the real-life stars create. With an advanced control system that fully supports motion-sensitive SIXAXIS controller functionality, gamers can engage with a whole new system of in-game movement, both on and off the ball. Character models now have new animations, more dynamic movement and even next-gen skin textures to give them a more realistic look. The new user interface has been significantly reworked to incorporate a 'retro' NBA look and feel - from the menus, to the loading screens, to the online system with player profiles and quick play options.

• Full HD 1080p at 60 frames per second, delivering the sharpest and most realistic basketball experience available.
• All-new progression system – complete tasks and goals to earn rewards for experience. This experience can be used to customise characters and show them off as status symbols of your basketball prowess.
• SIXAXIS functionality provides a new and deeper set of controls, allowing specific dribbles as well as high and low defensive moves.
• Mini-games: play on your own or against friends in multiple mini-games including ‘Own the Court’, ‘3-Point Shootout’ and the PlayStation Skills Challenge.
• Expanded Character Movement – a new contact mechanism takes into account players’ momentum when pushing into one another – this introduces a new ‘physical’ gameplay mechanic.
