Editorial Reviews :
When Sega decided to discontinue the Dreamcast, it opted to make its excellent sports titles available for other consoles. And not a moment too soon. Competition is always good and Sega Sports titles, like NBA 2K2, are some of the best in the business.
NBA 2K2 features all the teams, rosters, and, most importantly, rule changes (like the now-legal zone defense) found in the real NBA. Player faces have been mapped to realistic body types (complete with tattoos), so you can identify a big man like Shaq or a speedster like Iverson without looking at their numbers. The game takes full advantage of the graphics-rendering power of advanced consoles by including better texturing, lighting effects, facial animations, and a higher polygon count to make sure all the jukes, spins, jumps, and dunks are as realistic as possible. The audio is also good, particularly the play-by-play, which is accurate and speedy.
The controls are intuitive--even for people used to the Dreamcast--especially in the area of on-the-fly play calling. You can now use the right analog stick instead of the digital pad, so now you don't have to take your thumb off the main controls (left analog stick) to call a new play or change formations. Other controls let you quickly and fluidly box out your opponent, spin, shoot, pass, fake, and dunk.
There are also eight street-ball courts, and this addition makes for almost an entirely new game. In this respect it is the equal of the EA Sports NBA Live series. But NBA 2K2 surpasses EA's title with its excellent AI. This game is challenging, satisfying, and fun in both single and multiplayer modes. --Bob Andrews
Buyer Reviews :
This is by far the best Sega Sports game and a huge improvement over last year's game. Basketball is my game and Sega's NBA 2K2 is definitely the best basketball video game availible for any system. This game is plagued by only a few minor flaws unlike NBA 2K1.
The gameplay is simply amzing. I like the idea of having a direct pass button on offense, and a button on defense to play defense like in real life shuffling your feet and all. Shooting is very easy and efffective especially if you release the ball at the top of your jump shot.
The graphics are greaat although not as good as EA's NBA Live 2002. The players are easily identified to their NBA counterpart and Allen Iverson has his Iverson shoes unlike in 2k1 where everyone wore the same black or white shoes.
The rosters are very up-to-date and if a trade happens don't worry about the game being out of date just go to customize to do the trade yourself. And when draft time comes around just create that player onto their new team.
The Francchise mode is great. You egt to lead your team through multiple seasons with trades, free agency, and retirements. You can also choose to play with the teams NBA rosters or do a fantasy draft where you can have any NBA players.
The announcing is great although repititive more times than not. When Iverson scores a lot they always say the same thing and are always saying the same thing usually twice a game, but they are still very realistic and actually seem to be watching the game unlike ither games announcers.
The only thing about this game that could have been made a little betetr are the graphcis and the gameplay because when you post up you almsot always get a wide open layup or step out of bounds for no reason at all.
Overall this is the best basketball agme availible for the Dreamcast right now. This game for the PS2 is also betetr than Live and is also availible on the XBOX.
