From the Main Menu, you’re given a number of different gameplay
options. Here’s a quick description of all the different game modes that
NBA 2K2 has to offer…
Choose any two teams in the league and take it out to the court.
Play a 14, 28, 56 or 82-game regular season, followed by the playoffs (assum-
ing you’re good enough to make the playoffs). It’s a long and grueling season.
Do you have what it takes to guide your team all the way to the NBA Finals?
Once you’ve selected your team(s), you can access the Season Play screen.
From there, you can begin playing games, set your options, or customize your
plays, players, and teams.
Practice makes perfect. Head on over to the practice arena , select the team to
use, and start working on your jumper. The Shot Rater will help you perfect
your form and timing by telling you how early or late you’re releasing your
shot. It’s a lot easier when no one’s guarding you, isn’t it? Also, you can select
Free Throw from the Pause Menu to work on your free throw shooting.
