Editorial Review

EA Sports promises that "the soul of hoops comes to life" with NBA Live 99. Hype aside, the company has delivered a solid basketball game that will keep you coming back for one last shot. With excellent graphics and new features such as play-by-play commentary and real-life player reactions, this virtual NBA exhibition will score big with basketball fans.

NBA Live 99 may be a bit frustrating to play until you're familiar with the controls, but once you've mastered the basics, you can do quite a bit. Our favorite moves include the crossover, spin, fake, and, of course, the slam-dunk. Luxuriate over close-ups of your greatest shots with the "instant replay" feature. To add to the competition, you can play complete 48-minute games with as many as eight players. A memory card will come in handy to arrange full seasons and playoffs. The variety of camera angles adds to the feel of a real NBA game, and its exhilarating pace and competitive options will get almost anyone hooked on this game. --Sal Barcia

Pros:

• Excellent graphics and variety of camera angles
• Play-by-play commentary and real-life player reactions

Cons:

• May be a bit frustrating to play until you're familiar with the controls

I really like this game. I had the ancient "N.B.A. live 95", and I thought that it was the bomb at the time! This game has been taken to a whole new level! I like how you can design your own player with a mustache and beard and the style of their features and jersey and muscular structure. Very tight game! I reccommend this game highly! It is certainly better than those satanic, evil, violent games that are not all that good to play, and are a bore. I'm a christian, and I believe in playing certain games, but this one is for everyone!

If you are a fan from the old school generation of basketball games; I'm talkin Double Dribble on NES and NBA Live 95 on Super Nes, etc., then you will certainly appreciate the attention to detail in Live 99. First of all, it's manufactured by EA Sports who, is by far the leader in sports games with the possible exception of 989 Sports. Graphics are quality, gameplay is smoothe, details are detailed. Only missing ingredient to a perfect game is a larger variety of dunks that are more personalized to the players and can be controlled by the user. For example, Matt Maloney CANNOT DUNK even on a good day. Therefore, he shouldn't be dunking over the likes of Mutumbo or Zo. But overall, a brilliant game. A must-have for any b-ball enthusiast.

They finally found some ways to get this game really difficult. And you can play more than one season... Yeah, you keep playing the next season with the same team. You can train alone as well, hope that you can train with other players at the next one... But it`s far away from any other NBA game.
