First NBA Inside Drive on Xbox, Microsoft's basketball game. Solid for its time but already eclipsed by NBA 2K at the same period. A Microsoft curiosity.

Is NBA Inside Drive 2002 still worth playing in 2026?

A basketball simulation from Microsoft, NBA Inside Drive transposes the NBA to the original Xbox with a polished presentation, a full franchise mode and a gameplay halfway between arcade and simulation. The clarity of the play, the licence fidelity and the solidity of team management made it an honest alternative to the EA and Sega leaders at launch. The presentation has clearly aged and the AI shows its age. A good basketball game for nostalgics of early 2000s NBA and sports fans on Xbox.
