ESPN NBA 2Night is a video game developed and published by Konami for Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 in 2000-2001. A sequel, ESPN NBA 2Night 2002, was released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

Reception[edit]

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 natually and is more fun."[18][a]

Notes[edit]

  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.
