Continue the legendary mad hoops action in NBA 2K8, featuring New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul on the cover. Now in its ninth year, the series presents extreme on-the-court excitement and the intensity found only in the realm of the NBA. Sport your gravity-defying moves from city to city in Dunk Contest challenges, where only the baddest and the best can unlock new dunks, props and players in multiplayer and online modes. Keep the screaming crowds interested or say goodbye to your career. The groundbreaking Signature Style feature returns, this time with hundreds of new shooting, dribbling and passing animations. Change the playing style of your favorite team members and create custom moves and dunk packages to send the fans into a frenzy. Control players all over the court to call for alley-oops, jostle for post position and set screens. Scoring isn't the only consideration; new defensive controls enable you to play tighter defense on the ball handler and run other defensive sets that shut down the offense. For additional thrills, up to six players can compete in the NBA 3-Point Shootout.
