NBA '06 Video Trailers for PS2 and PSP

Sony Computer Entertainment America today released two new video trailers from the upcoming NBA ’06, coming exclusively to the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) entertainment system.

The video for PS2 highlights pre-draft action in “The Life” mode, where gamers will have a chance to experience the life of a rookie point guard in the NBA – on and off the court.  Mini-games shown in the video will play a major part in developing character attributes and moving through The Life story.

The PSP video emphasizes the smooth, 60 frames-per-second gameplay and shows a variety of in-game moves, shots, and dunks.  The video also provides a glimpse of the virtual trading cards that are acquired when conducting highlight-reel plays on the court.
