NBA 2K2
Overall: Solid ps2 port. The stats, gameplay, sound, controls are all pretty good. Overall it's a very solid b-ball game (hence the 4.5 rating). There are still some things that could have been improved...Gameplay: Not bad. Probably not quite as solid as Inside Drive but after playing for a few hours you'll forget about any other b-ball games. Lucky you can change the camera angle cause the default angle is kind of awkward (ie. camera swings 180 degrees after every defensive rebound).
Graphics: Could use some work. The courts look very nice. The players are decent, but not as good as NBA Inside Drive. This really doesn't take away from the gameplay though.
Audio: Commentary is not too bad - I think Inside Drive's is better and more natural sounding. The gametime sounds are good. You don't really notice anything weird. But i'd like to hear the players do a little trash talking, grunting, etc. Also some yells from the coaches and the crowd would be nice.
Suggestions: 1. Need to work on the commentary (i.e. timing & content).
2. Lighten up on the alley oops and goaltending.
3. The physics of the ball movement is pretty wacky sometimes and seems to quick (i.e. during some passes and last second shot attempts).
4. Allow for multiplayer franchise mode.
5. Dont allow the user to trade any player for any other (compare player ratings).
6. Steal some of the gameplay from Inside Drive :)
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
