Amazon.com Review

A longtime front runner in graphics and playability, EA Sports has tweaked NBA Live 2000's simulation mode and artificial intelligence to create a solid, all-around roundball experience.

The biggest new addition to this year's version, however, is undoubtedly the presence of Michael Jordan. Absent from NBA Live predecessors, the greatest player in NBA history makes an appearance in NBA Live 2000's "One-on-One" mode where the player challenges the legends of the NBA on an outdoor court.

The new Franchise Mode adds welcome simulation depth to NBA Live 2000's quick arcade gameplay. Players assume control of a NBA team and guide them through 25 seasons; juggling rosters, scouting the draft, and number-crunching the salary cap are all requirements of the aspiring NBA general manager. Like previous versions, all NBA teams are included and rosters are updated for the 99/00 season. Furthermore, users can create their own players for the game and even scan in their own likeness with the "Face in the Game" feature.

Once again, EA Sports succeeds in creating a visually stunning basketball game with exciting, intuitive gameplay. NBA Live 2000's numerous features (including three-point shootouts and Internet multiplayer) and improved realism guarantee hours of hoop enjoyment. --Doug Radcliffe

Amazon.com Product Description

One of the newest additions to EA's sports lineup, NBA 2000 features more action, more slamming, and more attitude. Broadcast-style camera technology brings you to the heart of the action. Next-generation facial animation with added speech links gives the players more personality and attitude. You can go five-on-five or one-on-one on the street court, with the greatest names in the NBA, past and present, as NBA Live exclusively brings you retired names in the NBA, including the greatest all-time player, Michael Jordan. Play with one of five All-Star teams from the past decade or create your own classic matchups.

Using EA's Get in the Game technology, you can put yourself and your friends in the game or go head-to-head against NBA stars and play against your favorite teams. EA even provides a forum for NBA Live 2000 fans to chat and share inside tips on its Web site.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Basketball PC Game to date, January 13, 2002

I still prefer NBA Live 2000 to any other version, old or new, in the series. It's an excellent game even in 2002 and you can download the latest rosters from a popular NBA Live fan web site, or even download college courts, uni's and teams if you want to (recommended for college fans - it's worth it).

2+ years after it's release, NBA Live 2000 still looks good, price is more than worth it. Make sure you have a gamepad for your PC though.

This review is from: NBA Live 2000 (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

Nba Live 2000 is a very cool game.There are legendary teams.There is a three point shootout mode. In the three point shootout mode you can have up to six players shoot against each other. There are two players at a time. The Michael Jordan 1-on-1 is a really nice mode .There is also multiplayer mode where you can face off against your friends. Then there is season mode where you can choose any of the 29 teams or make up a superstar custom team and blaze through the season like a rocket. You can also just go straight to the playoffs in playoff mode.This game has awesome graphics and makes you feel like you are really there. I think that this is an easy to learn game and I think that everyone would like this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thums Up, July 5, 2002

Great Basketball Game. Since
NBA Live 2001 does not run on XP machine, NBA Live 2000 is the answer since EA sports has no plans to Update Basketball for XP.
The shooting is realistic. Forward lean shots, fade away shots, and awesome dunks to regular lay ups.Dribbling is a little lame but over all this is a nice game for basketball fans to help their favorite team win.
