I played the **** out of 2K2 when I got it on PS2 for Christmas that year. I remember creating myself as a receiver and just obliterating the competition. I loved that SEGA Sports presentation as well.

I believe that it was in 2K3 when they introduced sliders, however. That was the first time in sports video gaming that I learned to play for "realism." I don't remember how good of sliders I was able to cook up, but joining OS later helped for that, especially when 2K4 came around. Putting ESPN in the game was super awesome. Seeing APF 2K8 without the ESPN license was disheartening.
