Seems like we're having some publishing snafus today, so stuff might be delayed.

Is this review for the ps2 really? Or is that a mess-up?

No. What happens with our database is when you select a title it lists all the consoles it is going to be on. But it only puts one at the top, so sometimes it says PS2 or NDS (which is Nintendo DS) but it doesn't mean the preview is for that version.

Hey Chase, Great review!! As for OKC, what was the teams name? Or was it a generic OKC team with incorrect jerseys?

Hmmmm I think it was just Oklahoma City Oklahoma City. The NBA isn't really going to let them use anything else but the city from what I understand. And they are generic jerseys since obviously the Thunder haven't revealed the real jerseys yet.

Thanks so much! Not the answer I was hoping for, but at least we know now! Man that's tacky!

Both companies are capable of putting out high quality sports games, get past whose name is on the box and just enjoy the damn games already people.

I thought is was a great write up and while the game may not be as good as the comp just yet, it is heading in the right direction. I will at least rent the game to see how it plays and hopefully we are heading towards having 2 great games of basketball. Realm your kidding right? You are king of starting the 2k EA wars. Your time spent in the 2k forums is 99 percent negative but hey, just my observation.
