EA hasn't released a PC basketball game in four years. And never ported from the current consoles.

I can't recall any of the most recent Live PC releases supporting LAN play, either. Only EASO and Direct IP.

first thing I thought of. You can do two keyboards too I think.

I've had 4 controllers plugged into the computer plus the keyboard and played a 3v3 game with 1 AI no problem before. So the game supports a lot of people.

I only recall Direct IP and EA Sports Online in the online options for those games.

Ah, fair enough. It was possible to play over a LAN that way but generally speaking there was no LAN support for NBA Live like you might find in a first person shooter. If you knew what you were doing you could make the Direct IP option work for LAN though, certainly.

When I saw the title of the topic, this literally came to mind.

"NBA 2K, Y U NOO ALLOW US TO PLAY LAN MULTIPLAYER?"
