My Top 5 Favourite NBA Live Games

As you may have seen, our 20th Anniversary of NBA Live celebrations are underway. We’ve got lot of fun stuff lined up, including complete retrospectives for every single game in the series, feature articles, analysis, patches, and more. As this is the first Friday Five since our 20th Anniversary content tipped off, it seems like a good time for a countdown that’s been on my list for some time now: My Top 5 Favourite Games in the NBA Live series.

Please keep in mind that these aren’t objectively the best games in the NBA Live series, though I do believe they rank up there. As part of our celebrations, I’ll also be collaborating with the rest of the NLSC Team to pick the Top 10 Games in the NBA Live series, which I believe will reflect popular opinion, not just my own preferences. As for this list however, I’m just briefly reflecting on my personal Top 5 favourite NBA Live games, sentimental picks included; again, full retrospectives will be coming for each game. With that said, let’s get to the countdown!

I have a soft spot for Live '97 (PSX). It had a HUGE free agent list. I don't think I had to create any players for my rosters.

I recently picked up the PSX version of NBA Live 97 on eBay, to round out my collection. I played the PC version back in the day...how exciting it was that the jerseys finally had proper details!

I jumped from '95 PC to '98 PC and holy crap what a jump that was. Had an eyegasm from the beautiful 3D models and accurate jerseys & numbers. Plus it was nice to finally play with Vancouver & Toronto :lol:

Yeah, that would've been a big jump. From one isometric camera angle and pixels for eyes to a more authentic (for its era) TV-style presentation and the first use of cyberfaces in the series. Oh, and a steal button. ;)

I liked PSX '97 Live, as it had a lot of free agents did not require to create new players for my rosters. loved and enjoyed it.
