Has its moments, but fails towards the end

The Good
I was looking forward, as always, to the next NBA Live game, and this had its moments. Basically the same as NBA Live 2000, which isn't such a bad thing. And the graphics, although not great, are a step up from the past.

The Bad
Like I mentioned above, there isn't enough to separate this from last years effort. More work should be done on the gameplay, not the graphics. And a few more new play modes wouldn't hurt either.

The Bottom Line
Not a bad attempt at bringing the NBA Live series to PS2, but there's still a way to go. Hopefully NBA 2002 will be a better overall package.

Trivia

Another version of NBA Live, another NBA star on the cover. This time it's Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was also involved in the motion capturing process.
