Meh. All I rmember about that game is Charles Shackleford pretty much being Shaq the remix when it came to season stats. Hed average like 17 rebounds a game no matter what you did, but you use the sixers and his *** was nonexistant. Always made me go wtf.

In my opinion, I'd love to see the online modes in the other EA sports games make an appearance in NBA Live. I'd love to see an online franchise mode, as well as an online my player mode.

I'll say, I'm most definitely interested to see what Live brings to the table this year, which is more than I've generally been able to say at any other point over the last 11 years or so. I still have an "under construction" feeling from them so I fear the game will still be rough in many areas, just based on how much work last year's game seemed to need.

That said, my recent dissatisfaction with my formerly reliable basketball product has me pulling for EA to get it all the way together and produce a very viable alternative. Here's hoping.

Yup. Underrated. Second basketball game I ever owned (after Magic Johnson's Fast Break). Tecmo taught me about backcourt violations, Rod Strickland, and how much easier it is to shoot three pointers from the top of the key versus anywhere else. Good times.

I also remember watching Tecmo's cutscenes and thinking, "What if all the game looked like that?" Then I'd immediately dismiss that thought as being entirely too unrealistic.

[jyoung]

Yes, the cut-scenes added so much fun factor to that game. I loved all the different dunk scenes, as well as the ones that would trigger when you timed a three-point shot perfectly. THREE!

The set plays you could run were also pretty decent, for an early-1990s basketball game.

hoping they deliver cause as far as sports games go, 2013 was pretty stale. heres to 2014 being better.

I also know dramatic change cant happen overnight, so yeah.

I always thought Live will sell HUGE if they featured NBA JAM and NBA Street as separate game modes within the menus! Complete with their own GM mode, soundtrack, Rising Star, Ultimate Team, Challenges, unlockables, ETC. Its common for different studios to develop the multiplayer aspect of some games or only the campaign. Why not have EA Big develop those modes. Imagine an exciting trailer for NBA Street Vol 4, and exciting trailer for NBA Jam: Boomshakala Edition, and then finding out they are ALL packaged within NBA Live 15, Someone could purchase the game only for those modes and be fulfilled!

If they take Jalen Rose out the game; I will buy.

I don't trust this company anymore! I never cared for the NBA live series! NBA 2k set the mark and made it the gold standard years ago! All EA sports does to all of there games,is putting all the bells and whistles,and every year we get a crap game,which then is followed with there inevitable excuses! The can't make a true sports simulation! They never have and never will! If they haven't got it yet,they never will! They need to sit down and look at the NBA 2k and MLB the shows of the world! Those two games get it right! EA sports could really learn something from those games! I think I can speak for everybody,but stop with the bells and whistles and give people a true sports simulation! Ill take that any day of the weak!
