    The amount of detail displayed by the player models will simply astound you. Players look exactly like themselves from head to toe.

    Once you've played a while, and realize that a full franchise mode is missing, along with create-a-player and free agency trades, you'll realize that Drive didn't drive hard enough to compete with 2K2 or Live.

    With most sports games, the only real distinguishing feature with any of them is the graphics engines and the ease of play, and NBA Inside Drive 2002 has that in spades.

    Despite a wide array of team-specific offensive plays, you can't call specific defensive formations and the new zone defense that was legalized in the NBA this year is nowhere to be found. [Apr 2002, p.79]

    While this hectic pace isn't realistic, it does make your palms sweat. [Apr 2002, p.143]

    It became apparent to me after thorough play-time that Microsoft fell short with this title.

    The problem with the Xbox version is that the defensive AI is atrocious.

    The game for my reason is the parody of NBA Live (EA Sports).

Menu is like NBA Live, but too short because we can't create players, can't edit players where we can watch models and faces, we can't training alone, we can't play for legend teams like 90's All-Stars.

    Positive of this is a gameplay with good Artificial Intelegence and physics.

    It's not enough drive in this game unlike EA Sports product.    … Expand
