He shoots, he scores, he's from a town you've never heard of...now you can shoot hoops with players from all over the country online. NBA 2K1 had some lofty hightops to fill following the stellar success of NBA 2K, and you won't be disappointed. Playing online allows up to 8 gamers at once, so you might learn a few new tricks and it will most definitely improve your game. There's updated graphics, advanced AI, stellar animations and new commentary. The players are as animated as ever, with even greater detail in their facial expressions. More motion-captured moves bring enhanced realism and smooth gameplay on Sega Dreamcast. If you'd rather be on the managing end of the players, take over as GM trading and drafting players to create your dream team.
