Live in the early to mid 2000’s was goated

So many hours was spent playing this game in the summer 😌🔥🏀

Remember back in basketball games when you could press the steal button and your guy didn't go into an nfl tackling animation. Those were the days.

Holy grail of Basketball games. Live 98’, Live 03’, Live 05.

The Game where you could finally play with MJ by beating him one-on-one. One of my favorite NBA Live games! 🔥

We used to actually watch the intro like it was the 1st time everytime 😂 but i think there was no skip option

This brings back some memories

I was bumping this while I was working out at the gym the other day 😆😆😆😆

This is my most played ps1 video games Played like 10 whole seasons with regular time and games.

This is the first basketball game I played on any next gen console and it blew me away how complex it was, just the controls were enough to blow your mind as a 13 year old or however old I was. I came from NBA Jam and Barkley Shut up and Jam and Madden 95, so playing this was crazy, it felt like a sim game, like I shouldn't even be playing it. People put hours into this game too, that's whats even crazier. They would take out their memory card before they let you play lol.

This looks astonishing tbh.Never knew it existed for ps1

Best basketball game ever

I used to play with the Lakers a lot on this game. I loved when at some point whenever you did something phenomenal with Kobe or Shaq, Don would yell “SHOWTIME!!” In my opinion EA was WAY ahead of its time with the Live series. ‘95 Live was the first was in what was actually a pretty long basketball video game tenure for EA, starting with the “Lakers vs Celtics, and the NBA Playoffs” in ‘89 for computers. The first two teams in the title would change through the years until the game became titled “NBA Showdown” in ‘93. NBA Showdown had an inbound the ball play where you could actually throw a lob from the sideline. I used that play so much with Chris Webber and the Warriors lol. The next year was the first NBA Live game in ’94. The alley-oops were the best! Just toss it to a player close to the rim or driving the lane, and as long as it was clear the second player would catch it in the air and flush it! Live ‘96 gave you the opportunity to create a player, with an easter egg being if you entered the name of certain rookies at the time, they would appear with their bios already listed! What I found so unique and remarkable was EA’s ability to make television inspired presentation, the intro would use real game footage highlights during the intro. That feature, along with real announcers, and a few other bells and whistles made the series so awesome. So awesome that was the NBA 2K lineup began to compete, NBA 2K had to marketed as 50% cheaper than NBA Live (NFL2K did the same thing when they competed for sales with Madden). I for one hate that EA just fell off the map after Live 2010. I really enjoyed the whole NBA Live series

Such great memories. Going to buy this again. Also Jason kidd with no assist??? Lol

I think this was the last live before it became 2 k alot of memories❤

those were a the fun arcady nba games...nowdays its a mess, too many buttons, modes all over the place, xp and whats not.

That game looks cool for being a 2000 game better than live 07 and 08 09 and 10 but those cheerleaders look good 👍😎

This game is a classic!

I forgot they had wally as number 80 lol

Beautiful

i went through the playoffs with the four custom teams and they were top ten ultimate teams and the starting lineups were pg oscar robertson sg michael jordan sf magic johnson c wilt chamberlain and pf bill russell

The music definitely was not the same after this

You know how many created players I made on this game? A ton!!!

05:05 - Out of bounds???

Mike used to cook one on one

This game doesnt have out of bounds and has the nba jam dunk abouve the rim lol 😂

What is the difference between this game and NBA Basketball 2000 for PS1?

From my experience..this was the last good nba live .. ever
