    About This Game

    Hit the courts with 2K Sports' NBA 2K6 for the Xbox. With new features like isomotion, amazing graphics, and very realistic physics and player movement, the 2006 addition to the series is one of the best. The changes to the isomotion system are the biggest gameplay tweak gamers will find in NBA 2K6. The turbo button no longer exists. Instead, gamers can use the right and left buttons to modify their players aggression, which can change how the player passes and shoots. These changes include how fast the player is moving, what kind of fakes he does, and how he passes. Jukes have also been tweaked a bit, making them easier to chain together and more life-like. All of these changes make the game much more realistic and allow players to move more like they do in real basketball games. The shoot stick feature, also, makes it easier to shoot and makes the game look more realistic. With just a flick of the control stick, gamers can unleash a quick jump shot, a dunk, or a fast layup. Plenty of players are available in NBA 2K6. Just about every NBA team is represented, as are hundreds of today's hottest players like Shaq, Steve Nash, and Amare Stoudemire. The AI programming is amazing, making players really act like they do in real life rather than having all the players shoot, dribble, and guard alike. These realistic players, amazing graphics, and intuitive controls all make NBA 2K6 a sure slam dunk.
