5.0 out of 5 stars Another masterpiece for EA, October 29, 2000

NBA Live 2001 keeps with the the great trend of spectacular LIVE games. The new features make this game a wonder and a must for every basketball fanatic! The graphics are outstanding along with everything you'd expect in a real game (i.e. referees' whistles, shadows, shoe squeaks, emotions, intense crowd, etc.). 2001 includes 3-way trades, animated bench, variant commentary, and a new soundtrack. Perhaps the best part about the game is franchise mode. This mode allows you to create a team and play with them for up to 10 seasons. Team chemistry can change, there is a draft, you can sign free-agents, and retire players. If you want complete basketball fun, I recommend you get this game now!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The same old flaws all over again., May 15, 2001

NBA Live 2001 has some amazing graphics, some of the best I've seen to date for a baseketball game, but sadly the the gameplay is flawed in several areas. The first very frustrating flaw is when your guy is taking to the basket on a fast break, and the guy will just stop a shoot a little jump shot and miss it, instead of dunking or laying the ball in at times. This is especially frustrating when you use a guy like dunkers when you know they can dunk it, but instead they decide to shoot a jump shot. And even when they gets a dunk attempt, the player will even screw that up too at times. The second major flaw is that all of your computer players are lazy and don't run after the ball, so expect to get your brains beat in on the boards at times. It has been this way for years and I've been hoping they would fix these two huge problem areas. They are so bad that it seems the computer is cheating at times. This game has the potential to be a great game with it's great graphics and sounds, but these two big flaws really hurt the game a great deal. I hope EA Sports fixes these problems next time around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ever., February 10, 2001

I'm a huge fan of the series, so it was with baited breath that I awaited this much-postponed release. So far, it hasn't disappointed me. Graphics: Amazing. Simply put, the best graphics of any PC game I have ever seen. IF you have the horsepower to run them... Control: Very good. I do think the players move about a little too quickly, without as much mass as they did in '2000, but the best out there. Sound: Again, very solid if not very different from last year. Gameplay: Excellent. This is where this game shines, with its multiple modes of play, its extreme customizability and pretty well designed interface. With the franchise mode et al, this game has very strong replay value. God knows, I played Live 2000 for about 8 months straight!

Caveat Emptor: To run this game as it should be played (at least 1024x768 resolution), with all the graphical bells and whistles on, you need some serious computing power. My PIII 600 with GeForce2 GTS and 256 RAM are not enough to run it smoothly with ALL the details on Maximum at anything above 800x600. It's playable at 1024 and 1280, you just have to tinker with the details.
