    It’s a fast and fun (and accurate) basketball game with more additions and improvements than ever before. It’s also the best basetball game on the PS One.
  2. PSX Nation
    90
    When it comes to delivering consistent and playable virtual simulations of what goes on in NBA courts across the nation, "Live 2002" for PSOne is 'The One' (sorry Jet Li!).

    Playing alone, or against the loud-mouth you loathe, there's plenty to enjoy in this 2002 version of NBA Live. Don't blame me for the numb fingers.
  4. GamePro

    Controls are as sharp as ever, and the opponent A.I. is tight.
  5. Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

    It’s actually better than its pretty PS2 twin. [Feb 2002, p.116]

    This PSX game is a complete mess from excessively square graphics to the point of almost block-head-looking-players. Plus commentating that seems 10 to 15 seconds slow.
