In addition to new mini-games, NBA '08 features refined control mechanics and Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), which creates a more realistic and action-oriented gameplay experience. The game also features an enhanced Conquest Mode, expanded multiplayer features, downloadable content, and expanded audio commentary.
