Despite being part of the same series as its console relative, this game is distinct in a few crucial ways. Even though it does not support multiplayer, it does include modes such as Exhibition, Practice, Season, Playoffs, Minigames, and Wireless mode. The absence of “The Life” mode, which is featured in the PS2 version of the game, is the distinction that stands out the most. There are also unique minigames, such as the Playstation Skills Challenge and the 3-Point Shootout. In addition, there are traditional playground games, such as HORSE, Paintball, and Dodgeball. By completing these minigames, players will have the opportunity to unlock jerseys as well as Upper Deck trade cards.
Players can also play against human opponents by utilizing the Ad-Hoc wireless feature. This includes playing against them in exhibition matches and trading user-made trading cards. Players can take pictures of their characters in action and create a trading card, then save it to their memory card and change it wirelessly with other players. Amare Stoudemire, power forward for the Phoenix Suns, is on the book’s cover.
