Going from a dreamcast and NBA 2k1 to a PS2 and NBA Live 2001 I couldn't have been more disappointed. The graphics were horrendous, unless in replay, and the game play felt very unnatural and stiff. I hope EA does a better job this year because otherwise I'll be buying Sega's NBA game. EA is the best sports game maker in Madden, NCAA, NHL, FIFA, but right now their basketball is lacking.
