NBA 2K1 Screenshots

Ship: Fall 2000

The successor to the most realistic basketball sim ever created, Sega Sports NBA 2K1 features updated graphics, advanced AI, crisper animations, more lines of commentary and for the first time ever, network play via Sega Dreamcast. Gamers can taunt, chat and play against friends across the country in real time using their own ISP or SegaNet, the only high speed console gaming network. Adding to the breakthrough nature of this title is the new Franchise Mode, where players can transform themselves into the General manager: drafting rookies and making trades to create the ultimate team. With Sega Sports NBA 2K1 in the line-up, Sega Sports continues to break new ground in this category.
