Development
Development
The game initially started out as EA Sports Supercross 2002, a PS2 sequel to the previous annual games EA Sports Supercross 2000 and EA Sports Supercross, which were both released on the PS1 console. A playable demo was presented at E3 2001, which followed the directional change exhibited between the previous two games: while EA Sports Supercross 2000 aimed to provide a realistic simulation of supercross, EA Sports Supercross traded realism for a more arcade-like experience. The demo shown at E3 featured only a single freestyle level and no racing features, despite the game title. The demo showcased new features not present on the previous games, including smashable windows and a jump over a two-story house. The development team noticed players' enthusiasm for the freestyle capabilities of the game and decided to change the planned gameplay in favour of an over-the-top feel, comparable to the SSX series.

Reception
The PlayStation 2 and GameCube versions received "generally favorable reviews", while the Game Boy Advance version received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, where the PS2 version was localized under the name and published by Electronic Arts on October 3, 2002, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40. Entertainment Weekly gave the PS2 version an A− and said: "With a great two-player head-to-head mode and 100 over-the-top stunts to perform, this makes regular motocross games look downright dull by comparison". FHM gave it four stars out of five and said it had "splendid gameplay topped by highly-involving action and some nice comedy touches". The Cincinnati Enquirer gave the PS2 and GameCube versions four stars out of five: "This title feels as good as it looks thanks to its tight and responsive handling". Maxim likewise gave the PS2 version four stars out of five almost a month before its release date: "Extreme games keep getting extremer, but it would be tough to top this hellish twist on motocross racing".
