My favorite was NBA Live 2000. The one where they released the player rights to Jordan. We had some serious battles in college. Like ridiculous. We each had our own team. There were like six of us. Awesome fun all the time. I'm hoping to get that out of the new one. I will always hold a special place for the 2K series. I hope that I will be comfortable enough with the new one to own both. We'll see. Live will always be my first love though. 2K my mistress.
