THE GOOD:graphics are great. Its a lot faster than last years version. The juke moves and dunks are perhaps the best part of the game. Plus they don't have Michael Jordan as the mysterious "Player 1".
THE BAD:
NBA2K1 had better control than this game, but it is way better than last years game. I don't know if you can draft from NCAA 2002. If Madden 2002 can draft from NCAA 2002 football, then basketball should be able to also. The rebounds suck really bad. The people just sit there looking at the ball while the other team just picks up the ball while your teammates just pose.
SUMMARY:
In a nutshell it is a good game, just a little to easy. Something to pass my time until NBA2K2 comes out in Europe for the PS2. Then I'm selling my NBA Live 2002 on EBAY or somewhere.
