Item Description

Allen Iverson on the cover, every NBA team on the disc, and players who glare, grimace and shout at each other between possessions: Visual Concepts' NBA 2K made basketball on a home console look like a broadcast. Released for the Dreamcast in 1999 under the Sega Sports banner, it was the first game in a basketball series that is still released every year, and it arrived at a moment when the Dreamcast had no Madden or NBA Live to lean on.

The detail was startling for its time. Each player resembles his real-life counterpart, faces change expression, coaches and benches react to what happens on the floor, and two-man commentary tracks the game while players call out to one another. The controls let you back down a defender, throw a crossover, call for a pick and take direct control of alley-oops, and the season mode tracks a mountain of statistics. You can create your own players too, and the interface shares the clean, everything-on-one-screen design of NFL 2K.

It is not without quirks. The free-throw system, which asks you to line up two arrows with the Dreamcast's analog triggers, was famously awkward, and reviewers grumbled about frequent injuries in season mode. None of that stopped reviewers from hailing it as the best basketball game yet, and its fast, responsive play holds up surprisingly well.

Everything NBA 2K became, from the annual releases to the obsessive presentation, starts on this disc. Playing it on the console it was made for is the clearest way to see how far ahead Visual Concepts already was in 1999, and how much of the series' personality was there from day one.
