NBA 2K7 elevates the standard for all sports games, offering fans the most comprehensive and exciting basketball experience to date. NBA 2K7 presents cutting-edge visual realism, while offering the most intense and exhilarating gameplay controls in any basketball game, thanks in part to new post play mechanics inspired by Shaquille O'Neal. Post players are now characterized by their power, speed, and finesse ability, not only giving each player their unique feel in the post, but their individual animations are characterized by their emphasis on these traits as well. Power post players will battle for rebounds with their size and score with powerful dunking authority, speedy players will utilize their quickness and first-step to penetrate to the hoop, and finesse players will use fadeaway jumpers and float baby-hook shots to score.
