    I was not sure wich of the 3 (tennis, b-ball, football) new 2k2 series to spend my money on. I went for nfl, for a few reasons, 1st, I wanted the new rosters and updated players; second, even if it was just like 2k1, how could it be bad? The game is great, PLAIN AND SIMPLE! I don't like a few things like using the anolog stick for everything, even play calling and I wish the stands and sidelines where updated, but where it counted most like game play, animation and AI, they did a great job, on the right setting you can have a tuff realistic and fun game. The money plays are gone, so every time you need a 1st down you can't just do the same play. And to me that makes all the diffrence in the world. Also the running is so much fun I would trade the 2k1 in for the 2k2 in a heartbeat. Expand

  1. If you're looking to get back online and challenge people from all over the country or just your friends sitting across the room, NFL 2K2 is better than last year's game.
  2. Everything is there right down to players talking on the field, including the most important thing of all, a crowd that is into the game.

    A fun football game that, flaws aside, focuses on improving gameplay to the next level. And my dear readers, that's what it's all about.
