I own the PS2 version of this game, and it's pretty much the same as the previous version. Not that this is a terrible thing... 2K6 and 2K5 were great games, and this one continues the tradition. Just don't expect to see anything new.
The one big gripe I have with this one is that getting steals is much too easy. Also, when one player knocks the ball away, the player who picks it up gets credited with the steal, which technically is not correct. It was a nice option to add the ability to play the passing lanes, which came in the 2K6 version, but it's way too easy to get steals, sometimes just by pure luck. Moving the game sliders helps with this problem, though.
The legacy mode is deep and makes the game worth the purchase. The graphics are pretty much the same as 2K6, and the crowd, which was horrible in 2K5, still looks the same. The players pretty much look the same, as well.
Good game, but I have a "been there, done that, just with different rosters" feeling when I play it. 7/10
