INTRODUCTION
Introduction
You got game?
Now's the time to find out. Building on the success of NBA 2K and NBA 2K1, Sega has taken this year’s version of its awardwinning basketball series to a whole new level.
What about the defensive AI? It's been improved this year, as
the defenders are now smarter than ever. They’ll rotate into passing angles, and slide into the lane to prevent you from getting the easy at the top of your game to tame the CPU this year.
And the gameplay? Rock solid. Now you can perform drop-steps defenders. Back in on your opponent, perform the drop step and as the ball goes swish through the net.
Online play is improved as well. Like the other games in the 2K2 saves your profile online. We're keeping track
we can rank all the players nationwide, leaving is the best of the best.
Street courts are back too, and this time there’s a new addition - the legendary Mosswood Park in Oakland, California.
Plus, you’ll find all the latest offseason roster moves (time to start getting to Hakeem in a Raptors uniform and Kidd in a Nets uniform), new floors
logos in Dallas and Seattle, new rookies such as #1 pick Kwame Brown, NBA rules like zone defenses and the eight-second backcourt rule.

OFFENSIVE CONTROLS WITH THE BALL

Coach’s Corner: Timing the Shot
Timing is everything. If you release the X button exactly at the top of your jump, you'll have the best chance at making the basket. If your man shoots at a high percentage in real life, you'll have a little more leeway with regards to releasing the ball at the exact pinnacle of your jump. However, if the player is a bricklayer who rides the end of the pine, your timing will need to be almost perfect to have a reasonable chance of making the shot.
AND DUNKS: X button

ADVANCED OFFENSE
TURBO: Right trigger
Turbo works just like it sounds - it makes you go faster. When you press the Right trigger to kick your player into overdrive, his speed and energy will pick up a notch. Be careful not to overuse turbo, however, as your player will tire too easily if he’s continually sprinting up and down the court.
Advanced Offense
Coach’s Corner: Posting Up
When in a post-up battle, both players’ physical size, strength and post-up skill will determine whether you back your man down or bang against a brick wall. If you find yourself squaring off against an equal opponent, try pumping the Right trigger each time your player lunges back to turbo at your defender. Keep in mind that the defender can also press the Right trigger to prevent you from getting in close to the bucket.
ALLEY-OOP
Alley-oops work a little bit differently this year. Pass the ball to a player calling for the rock as he slashes to the hole and you'll perform an acrobatic alleyoop. With these simpler controls, you'll be making the highlight reel on a more regular basis.
PIVOT MODE
If you allow your player to remain stationary after he receives a pass, he will automatically attempt to protect the ball by shielding it with his body. You'll need to make a quick decision on whether to begin dribbling or to pass it along and continue to work the offense. If you hold the ball too long, the defense will collapse on you and attempt to knock it away.
DROP STEP
