When NFL 2K arrived for the Dreamcast launch, it was the most visually stunning, graphically realistic sports game ever to hit a home console. Well, if that game impressed you, get ready to change into a fresh pair of undies cause Sega's NBA 2K is even better.

After the massive success of the Dreamcast launch title NFL 2K, Sega Sports is back with a vengeance with NBA 2K. The game features the same ultra-realistic graphics of the pigskin game, but it also throws in some of the most realistic hoops skills ever seen on a console, featuring over 1,300 motion-captured moves. The game also includes playbooks by the actual NBA coaches to make sure each team acts exactly as they do in the real NBA.
Another First, Another First And Another First
NBA 2K's 1,300 motion capture moves are more than four times the number used in any other game, but the innovations don't stop there. The team benches, coaches and even the scoring table are all fully animated, and the games are played in 28 individually modeled, architecturally perfect arenas - both are firsts for any basketball game. Each player is also modeled with extreme attention to detail, even down to the tattoos and wristbands. The crowd is also made up of polygonal models, and they move and react to the game situations.
Why 2K?
Another stunning sports title from Sega Sports is set to hit the courts on November 9. Don't get stuck on the pine for this one, make sure you're in the starting line up.
