About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'NBA '06' (PS2) - 6 New Screens

by Judy on July 14, 2005 @ 2:02 p.m. PDT

NBA '06 for the PS2 expands the franchise by featuring numerous gameplay advancements including enhanced A.I., shooting mechanics, player animations, and new mini-games to create the most action-packed, realistic basketball experience to date.

NBA 06 for the PS2 takes gamers behind the scenes of pro basketball with its NBA Life: Volume I mode. This mode challenges gamers to experience the NBA from the perspective of a rookie point guard, from draft day to the NBA Finals. Players will go through the ups and downs of a grueling season, complete with team chemistry issues, injuries, and endorsement deals. Unlike normal NBA career modes, NBA Life is linear, meaning your character has a path to take and must accomplish certain goals to progress, such as making a certain number of shots in a game. The mode is more like a role-playing or adventure game than a standard sports career mode.

NBA 06 also features several minigames, including 21, Horse, and Shout Out, as well as a PlayStation skills challenge and various online tournaments. The game's Showtime Gameplay lets b-ballers chance riskier plays, which are rewarded with increased statistical attributes for the entire team, a more involved crowd, and a bevy of highlight-reel passes.
