Sony Computer Entertainment America has signed Phoenix Suns Power Forward Amare Stoudemire to be the cover athlete for its all-new basketball franchise, NBA ?06, due to hit stores in Fall 2005, exclusively for the PlayStation 2 and PSP.

At 6?10?, 245 pounds, Stoudemire is a chiseled big-man best known for his amazingly quick first-step, aggressive power dunks, and rugged play in the low-post. ?Amare Stoudemire is one of the most talented young players in the league. His story, along with his dynamic and exciting style of play, embody the all-new gameplay features within NBA ?06,? said Scott Rohde, director, sports product development, Sony Computer Entertainment America. ?Powerful dunks and highlight reel plays really come alive in this new franchise, and we feel that Stoudemire is a perfect fit for the cover of NBA ?06.?

NBA ?06 introduces a completely new insider look with ?NBA Life: Volume 1.? Using cinematic direction, script development, and talent, ?NBA Life: Volume 1? is an immersing experience. Players have the opportunity to go through an entire season with all of the emotional ups and downs, team politics, and off-court activities, such as trades, press conferences, and endorsement deals that every up-and-coming NBA player must handle. Each player can take a different path to progress through the league, setting up countless ways for gamers to develop a player and experience the real NBA life.

Engineered from the ground up, NBA ?06 introduces the all-new Showtime Gameplay feature that provides gamers with the opportunity to achieve the delicate balance between team versus individual skills, performance, and goals. From knowing how to excite a temperamental crowd with incredible moves to learning when to pass in order to keep your teammates in the game, Showtime Gameplay incorporates an enhanced Artificial Intelligence system that ultimately influences player and teammate attributes, as well as crowd support. And for the first time in an NBA video game, gamers have the opportunity to feel what it?s really like to be on the floor as first-person perspective is merged with third-person playability.
