NBA LIVE 95

NBA LIVE 10 is a close second.

The 'puddle glitch' is among one of the scariest glitches of all time though

**** scarred me for life..

NBA Live 98 was my first basketball game.

But my favorite is NBA Live 2001 on PS2, amazing graphics for that time.

NBA Live 2005

Customization was crazy. I would change my players gear every single game.
The rebound tip-ins could net me 20 rebound games with certain players.
The mid-air shot adjustments were the best. Haven't seen them done better since.

One of the only bball games where I got through a full 82 game season because of the immersion.

I got live 06 a couple of weeks ago and quite amazed how fun it is. PS2 version. The ps3 and 360 versions were pretty bad and bare boned too.

1) Live 2000 (PS1) - Loved it, my favorite of all time, Raptors just got there new purple jerseys (dropping the Dinos), 2nd year VC (he was a beast), Antonio Davis, I even had a little rotation going and TMAc coming off the bench just like in real life. I had perfect scores/stats/rosters, this was before online gaming.

2) Live 95 (Genesis) - We all played Live 95, I mean everyone. Everyone in school ran Live 95. Classic game. It killed the NBA Jam era.

3) Lakers vs Celtics (Genesis)- It all started here as a youngin. I was blown away with real teams/players and sig shots (I see you Tom Chambers).

4) Live 2004 (PS2)-First real punch on the PS2 (Better than ESPN 2k4 that year). After some wonky PS2 titles. When I popped in Live 04. It was like "wow....Live is back !!) VC on the cover was a bonus as well. Shout out to Pared's sliders (anyone remember that ?)

5) Live 10 (PS3)/Live 96 (PS1) - First real punch on the PS3 (only took 5 tries). First try on the PS1 (announcers and voices/player names under the player, 3d stadium...classic).

PS: GisherJohn, my bad the other day for ragging on you about this being a "Live 15" forum only. Your right, it's a "Live forum" my bad homie.

PPS: Yes I still own all of these NBA Live's. I was actually missing a few of them here and there but now thanks to kijij and retro game stores I actually have every NBA Live (Genesis, PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4). All in good/mint condition, with all components (game, case, manual). Its quite the collection. Some of them were hard to find but it if your patient, the rare ones pop by your way now and then. I even picked up Team USA basketball. I only don't have Elite 11 (it never came out but a few do exist, but I wouldn't pay $ 1,000 + for it). Live 96 for the PS1 is my most prized and hardest to find (long box cardboard Ps1 game, mint condition).

Good stuff

Re: Post your favorite NBA Live game of all time

Live 06

That game had player types you could assign to each player....baiscally it was player tendencies before the game even came to the XBOX 360.

Then it had 6 slotted Set plays for both offense and defense you could assign for every team

Take those two feautres + the Sliders and Live 06 was awesome IMO tons of fun.

After that game everything basically has gone downhill....

IN fact Live 06 for it's present time had very good animations....EA used to actually create Sports games where the animations of the players didn't look robotic believe it or not.....

Re: Post your favorite NBA Live game of all time

Live 06 for XBOX/PS2

This will Supplant that, and Live 10, if a patch comes out, EVER

Re: Post your favorite NBA Live game of all time

Tied between Live 05 (PS2) and Live 99 (PC). And I think I discovered the world of modding back then. I think I started to use patches with Live 99. First Live with accessories...and I was very excited. I remember back in the 90's I was checking on every new game that I could get if players were wearing accessories. Most of the time I got disappointed.
