GamePro
One of the best basketball games ever on any console…period.

Gaming Age
There's no two ways about it folks: NBA 2K2 is the best-playing basketball game on the planet.

Hot Games
It’s the best next-gen basketball game available, easily beating "NBA Live 2002" for the PS2, which is more of a roster upgrade than a revamping of the game.

GameSpot
With revamped animation, new zone defenses, and improved AI...the most true-to-life simulation of the National Basketball League to date.
94
IGN
One of the most complete sports games on any platform.

Game Informer
"NBA 2K1" was, in my opinion, the best basketball simulation ever made. That is, until I played this one. [Dec 2001, p.112]

Electric Playground
Nobody has developed a perfect basketball sim. Visual Concepts however has come the closest with NBA 2K2. By far this is the best hoops title on the market today.

Planet Dreamcast
If you do plan on going online with NBA 2k2 keep in mind that it might be convenient to have a Dreamcast keyboard handy, when setting up a game. It makes communication much easier.

Total Video Games
Slick prentation and excellent gameplay.

Electronic Gaming Monthly
The best-looking (you heard me, Live), best-playing game of basketball you’ll find. [Jan 2002, p.231]

Games Domain
It won't convert those who think basketball is a monotonous procession of points until the game is decided in the last 30 seconds, but its multiplayer larks will bring joy to clans everywhere.

XenGamers
Little more than "NBA 2K1" with Michael Jordan, the Memphis Grizzlies, glitchy zone defense and an afterthought of a street ball mode.
