Brief synopsis of NBA 2K6

Basketball fans get ready for some slam-dunking action with the 2006 version of the NBA series when it hits the hardwood. NBA 2K6 offers the most detailed, comprehensive and all-round fun basketballing videogame experience yet. The game boasts a whole range of new features including the 'Shot Stick' ability to control the direction of your shots with the right analog stick. This gives you much greater control over the ball than ever before, and you will soon be pulling off runners, fade-aways, finger rolls and dunks with a flick of the stick. The Dual Player Control option means that you can set team-mates into motion for alley-oops, give and gos, or to hit an open man for a three-point play with the touch of the d-pad. And to intercept/steal the ball, the 'Strip n Rip System' lets you anticipate passes by jumping into passing lanes to deflect or intercept a pass, as well as strip the ball from a player driving to the hoop, or a player with weak hands coming down with the rebound. New to NBA 2K6 this year is a feature called 'The Crib'. Earn crib credits with every game you play to deck out your crib, buy music, or play mini-games. Keeping it street, you can also take to the streets of Harlem in the Entertainer's Basketball Classic to play against NBA players and Def Jam celebrities including Redman, Method Man, Flavor Flav and many other special guests. However, playing ball in The Big Apple with Flavor Flav aside, the game still boasts an impressive level of NBA reality simulation ? with the opportunity to take total control of your NBA franchise by hiring your own coaching staff, scouting top draft picks year-round, developing individual player skills with multiple in game-drills, and optimising your team chemistry with team workouts. With continuous stat tracking including league injuries, trades, winning streaks, league leaders, play-off races, and post season awards, you will never be uninformed.

Rated - 4 starsActually pretty good!

A customer from Worcestershire, England , 29/09/2007

First of all, you will need pal-60 to run this game. So if you have a HD television, you will need to flick the switch on the back of your AV cable(the biggest wire into the back of your 360) to the regular tv option. Then change display setting via system blade - display.

I got this game solely for the 1000 easy gamerscore, but it was a nice change and I enjoyed the game. It took me about 2-3 hours for the full 1000, just set difficulty to rookie and 12 minutes per quarter.

May get boring after a while, but I did enjoy this game. :)

Rated - 3 starsAfter an easy 1000?

A customer from West Yorkshire, England , 26/10/2007

If you're after an easy 1000 pts then this is for you.

By setting the difficulty to easy, the qtrs to 12 mins and adjusting the sliders, I'd met all the achievement requirements within 30 mins. I just had to wait for the game to finish and they all unlocked at once - first game. Took about 50 minutes altogether.

That said, the game itself was good. I'm not a sports fan but I found this a very accessable game to get into with good controls.

I enjoyed playing it but enjoyed getting my 1000 more!

Rated - 2 starsEasy 1k Points

A customer from Derby, England , 25/11/2006

After receiving this game in the morning, I had the full 1k points after an hour, all wrapped up within 1 game. EASY! I was playing on easy - West All Stars vs Raptors, with Nash sinking the threes and Garnett going for the rebounds. 1/4 set to 12 minutes. If you're looking for a boost, this is the quickest way, by far. Otherwise a good deal better than Live! 06.

Rated - 3 starsBasic Okay

A customer from London , 19/07/2007

I merely got this for the 360 acheivements which are extremely easy to get from this game. Other than that it seemed like a game for avid basketball fans.

Rated - 1 starWouldn't work!!!

I. M. Cool from Earth [Highly rated reviewer] , 26/08/2008

I couldn't actually play this because it wouldn't run on my 360, which is quite new! So beware that if you rent games which are over 2 years old, it may not play properly or at all. However, it is my experience (from borrowing my friends version of Fifa 06 RTFWC and online people's statements) that games which were the first to come out on the Xbox 360 have easier achievements because they were the first. So if it works i'm sure it would be easy to get 1000G if that's why you wanted to rent it. That's the reason I tried anyway.
