GameSpy.com
Reviewed by Andrew S. Bub. Includes screen shots. "Sadly, with its major rules problems, only slightly improved animation (from the PS2 version) and host of omissions and gaffes, the lack of expected features, and most importantly, the under-optimized controls here on the Xbox, prove that NBA Live 2002 is just a rushed game." Score: 60 out of 100. (Xbox) <small>(December 25, 2001)</small>
