ESPN NBA 2Night is a video game developed and published by Konami for Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 in 2000-2001. A sequel, ESPN NBA 2Night 2002, was released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

Reception

The PS2 version received "mixed" reviews, while the Dreamcast version received "unfavorable" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Rob Smolka of NextGen said that the latter console version was "Only recommended for those who demand to listen to a repetitious Stuart Scott supplying the color commentary." Jake the Snake of GamePro said of the former console version, "Despite its flaws, NBA2 Night [sic] is a decent first-generation effort—easy to pick up and play with several nice features: all NBA players and teams, icon passing, on-the-fly play calling, and so on. But NBA Live 2001 for the PS2 plays much more naturally and is more fun."

Notes

  1. ↑ GamePro gave the PlayStation 2 version two 3.5/5 scores for graphics and control, 4/5 for sound, and 3/5 for fun factor.
