NBA Courtside 2002

NBA Courtside 2002 is a basketball video game developed by Left Field Productions and published by Nintendo for the GameCube in 2002.

Left Field, the developer, was not expected to work with Nintendo again after this release.

[14] Tom Bramwell of Eurogamer described the game as having great depth and completely outclassing its competitor, NBA Live 2002.

In addition to matching their statistical accuracy, Bramwell felt that NBA Courtside was a better simulation and offered an "arcade mode" that competed with the scope of the also-praised NBA Street.

Bramwell praised the graphics, gameplay, artificial intelligence, and ball physics.
