Who Has NBA 2K2...?

It seems the only retailer that has it are Electronics Boutique and maybe one other the debate has been as to when the game was coming out, but several have it today.  Do you?
I live in Mayberry so I’m waiting on my local KB Toy Works to get it, KB or Wal-Mart one.

How about the Indiana Milwaukee game…? C’mon Pacers…

I have it and I\'m 3 games into the season with my Lakers. Picked it up at Electronics Boutique today. The game is great! The AI will kick your a** though if you relax too much on "D". The graphics are sweet and the gameplay is tight!  EA has got some serious work to do if they even want to compete. It\'s obvious that Sega and Visual Concepts are taking their basketball series very seriously!!  

i didnt like NBA2k2...the graphics are nice but the characters dont even look like the real counterparts. the gameplay is totally awkward to me..the button layout is confusing...i like Live 2002 better. when you try to steal, you actually give an intential foul. its kinda hard to steal. theres barely any blocking. and for the turbo, it doesnt even seem like turbo

I am referring to the PS2 version BTW...

Yeah how is that NBA 2K2 for the PS2?

I own it for my Dreamcast, I\'m a huge fan of the series. I own all the NBA 2K series. I actually found 2K2 right at home. Finally the A.I. is better and you can perform more moves (Roll over for example or the fade away jumper).

I felt though somethings could indeed change. Authentic sneakers is a plus, but only Allen Iverson\'s? Call me a player hater, I totaly hate "The Answer" and I\'m so glad they got my man Tracy McGrady doing the 2K3 series. I would have liked more of a variety of sneakers. Maybe more stylish tatoos also?

Coach faces also are indeed pretty pathetic. I know a huge difference in Phil Jackson\'s face in NBA2K and then seeing it in NBA2K1 and NBA2K2, and it looks nothing like him! Michael Jordan\'s face looks nothing like him, either, but never mind that. It\'s not like he\'s part of my team, anyways.

I also would have liked to see some more authentic features such as stadium theme music. I liked it how they actually made the PA announcer more realistic.

Oh well, if NBA2K3 is that good, I\'m buying whatever console it comes out for who does the title the best.

I don\'t know what these guys are talking about...THE GAME IS THE TRUTH, PERIOD.  If you like Basketball in the slightest way you should pick this game up PRONTO.  NBA Live hasn\'t been good since 99\'.  The series is stale and WEAK.

Comparing NBA 2K2 to the Live series is like comparing apples to oranges. I have to admitt, the Live series have absoutly nothing going for it other than exceptional graphics, but damn does the gameplay suck.

I can spend $50 bucks better than that. Go buy yourself something different.

Ok. I\'ve been playing more games in the season mode and although I think that the game is good there is one thing that annoys the s*** out of me. It\'s the fact that the computer can\'t freakin miss!!! Trust me. Lets put it this way. If you really play hard D you can at best get the computer to shoot around 52%. Therefore if you don\'t play tight D every time you go down the court (which can get tiring on your hands) it is easy for the computer to shoot around 60% consistently The computer just doesn\'t miss and I\'m not just talking about any team. I\'m talking about run-of-the-mill teams like Memphis. It\'s a little unrealistic

And one more thing:

I don\'t see what the heck is so great about the way free throws are done in this series. Personally I prefer the way live does free throws. I mean for me I find that I can make free throws pretty good. But this is the point. If I\'m such a great free throw shooting player than it won\'t matter for me whether Kobe Bryant is at the line or Shaq. The point is that I think they need to implement some way to take the players\' free throw percentages into account.

Well, I got the game today. Wish I would have brought Live home instead.  NBA2K2\'s graphics suck and as bandit said the controls are confusing... waste of 53 bucks now i have to go buy live 02
tomorrow what a waste...

live and learn i guess. i haver played live for bout four years i guess and the control has always been great to me as well as EVERYTHING elsle.  this is what i get for listening to the DC fanboys i guess... anyway can\'t wait to get live 02 home tomorrow and tomorrows a fridat to boot :P

don\'t buy 2k2 - you\'ve been warned

They should have vince carter and t-mac both...there cousins so i\'d be coo.

I haven\'t played 2k2 yet but it has some stiff competetion, the GC\'s Courtside is awesome, best basketball game I\'ve ever played

Well, how could you say that NBA 2K2\'s graphics are subpar? Sure, it\'s not that advanced looking from it\'s Dreamcast counterpart, but it has some noticable additions (such as them cheer leaders and media press on the side lines, the DC version never had that.) It moves most the time at 60fps, with the exception if the camera angle changes (if you have the End view, it swirls everytime you switch baskets, but theres an option to disable that.)

I think the controls are the best done for the series. At least on the DC. I am not sure how diffuclt it is for you PS2 gamers.

I also felt the practice session could have been better done. If I recall, each practice gym is unique with it\'s logo, no? I wish there was someway you could practice your drills. Just staring at the drill screen doesn\'t do a thing for me.

BTW, glad you like the avatarr

Hey jm, that avatarr is the sh**!! Please post more. It\'s pleasing to the eyes. Anyway let me run over to the porn store...I mean playing Halo....

Bought 2K2 Yesterday  - Bought Live Today...  Nuff said.
