Take it to the court or to the street.

User Rating: 8.5 | NBA 2K2 GC
Before EA really start to take over with the NBA Live games, 2K Sports owned the market with their outstanding basketball games, this one in particular with poster boy Philadelphia 76ers starting guard Allen Iverson.

The game provides several levels of enjoyment. There are exhibition games, seasons, playoff tournaments, exhibition tournaments, and street ball games. You can use any of the current NBA teams. In addition, there is the option of creating a team and/or players to fill the roster. Create a player closest to your favorite college player or make one modeled after yourself with monster stats.

The games strong points are short load times, fast paced action, smooth transitions, and enjoyment following your players through their tournaments or seasons. The graphics are close to perfect but not quite there and the sound is about average for a basketball game, but the overall enjoyment factor is still there.

This is a cheap buy at this point, so it is good for a quick NBA fix.
