The PlayStation and Xbox versions received "generally favorable reviews", while the PlayStation 2 version received "average" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[1][2][3] NextGen said in its final issue, "This Xbox version of EA Sports' hoops series is basically the same game you can find on every other platform – in other words, chock full of uninspiring graphics, plodding gameplay, and clumsy controls."[4] In Japan, where the PlayStation 2 version was ported and published by Electronic Arts on January 1, 2002, followed by the Xbox version on March 7, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40 for the former,[5] and 28 out of 40 for the latter.[6]
Dan Elektro of GameProTemplate:'s January 2002 issue said that the PlayStation 2 version "makes up for last year's missteps and then some. The gameplay finally matches the graphics, and the result is what basketball fans want and need in a PS2 game."[7][a] An issue later, he said that the Xbox version "sets a great standard for Xbox basketball",[8][b] and that the PlayStation version "comes packed with all the gameplay and features you expect: lengthy season modes, a 1-on-1 streetball mode with any player in the league, and create-a-player options."[9][c]
