Reception

The PS2 version received "mixed" reviews, while the Dreamcast version received "unfavorable" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [1] [2] Rob Smolka of NextGen said that the latter console version was "Only recommended for those who demand to listen to a repetitious Stuart Scott supplying the color commentary." [14] Jake the Snake of GamePro said of the former console version, "Despite its flaws, NBA2 Night[ sic ] is a decent first-generation effort—easy to pick up and play with several nice features: all NBA players and teams, icon passing, on-the-fly play calling, and so on. But NBA Live 2001 for the PS2 plays much more naturally and is more fun." [18] [lower-alpha 1]

Notes

  1. ↑ GamePro gave the PlayStation 2 version two 3.5/5 scores for graphics and control, 4/5 for sound, and 3/5 for fun factor.
