Cancelled Background Info Newcomer ESPN Digital Games enters the crowded NBA basketball market with its inaugural basketball game, ESPN NBA Tonight. With the longtime dominance of EA Sports' NBA Live series and Midway Games' surprising NBA Fastbreak '98 of last season, ESPN Digital Games has its work cut out.
Tonight is no exception.
The interface is crisp and sharp, and has perhaps the shortest load times of any game on the market. All game options are laid out in a straightforward manner and are accessible from the main menu. Players are supposed to react as they would in real life. As far as I am concerned, players seemed to react well to evolving situations, such as motion offenses and getting back on defense, but it is a stretch to say that this is the most advanced AI ever created. Players do their best to get open and create their own shots.
