NBA ’08 for the PlayStation 3 returns with all the modes stemming from the previous title. As expected, the new version includes updated rosters and a few little tweaks here and there. This year’s game introduces the new Progression System, which uses skill points earned from various achievements to unlock more nicknames, jerseys, attributes, and accessories to customize your created player.
The game features a more in-depth online mode along with slight improvements to the Season, Playoffs, Replay, and Mini games. However, this game still lacks a Franchise mode which is common in most sporting games. After playing through one season, a text will pop up informing you that you won a championship and that’s it. No in-game celebration. No draft. No free agency. NOTHING!
Besides dropping the ball on a franchise mode, the game still lacks the unique NBA Life experience present in the PlayStation 2 version. Sony has had plenty of time to convert this unique athlete simulation into a next-gen version. We can only assume that it will be added next season as a “new” feature.
