Strengths:

Good visuals for PSP launch title, slick presentation

Weaknesses:

Goofy AI, wacky controls

Posted Apr 4, 2006 - NBA was one of the first games out for the PSP and as such it was fairly impressive. The graphics and presentation are very good and it allowed for online play, something many later titles have lacked. However, the AI in this game can sometimes be baffling, with players standing around or off in corners doing wierd things. Also, the shooting controls are a bit wacky - they tried to change to a different scheme than most basketball games and it doesn't quite work (tapping circle once to start shooting and again to release, using an on screen indicator to try to get the perfect timing). This game is now one of the older PSP releases and as such, should be available cheap if you look around. If you are a basketball fan it might be a good pickup if you can find it for $10 or less, but certainly not at full retail.

It's an older code, but it checks out

Strengths:

Low price, WiFi. Gets you in the door for basketball action.

Weaknesses:

Older title, doesn't shine next to newer releases. AI is questionable sometimes.

Posted Feb 28, 2007 - I picked this game up for less than $10 a few months back. It was an early PSP title, so it doesn't quite stand up to more recent releases. The graphics are decent, they more than get the job done. Sony tries to break the traditional basketball control scheme a little bit, so it will take a few minutes to cope for new players. The A.I. doesn't always deliver, but WiFi play makes this well worth the budget price, especially compared to the newer releases that will run you $20 or more.

NBA PSP game

Strengths:

Good graphics/mini games

Weaknesses:

Details need to imporved

Posted Nov 30, 2005 - The gameplay and graphics are good on PSP. Need to spend some time getting controls which is not that easy on PSP. Minigames are quite fun and easier. My friend points out some rules might not be true, but I am not a big fan of NBA and I am OK with that. This game is on sale in many places and is worth to give it a shot.
