NBA Live through the years

[McDwyane]

NBA Live games have been released for the Sega Genesis, Super NES, PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Windows, and most recently with the PSP and Xbox 360. A PlayStation 3 version was due to debut in the series with NBA Live 07 along with the release of the PS3, but was canceled owing to "concentrating ... efforts on creating a spectacular NBA Street: Homecourt" (which will be available for the PS3) rather than porting the existing game to the console.Originally, the NBA Live series was released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES with NBA Live 95. The naming was changed from utilizing the last two digits of the year to the entire year number from 2000-2005, but returned to the original naming convention with NBA Live 06.Developer(s) EA Canada

Another copy and paste job. Your trying too hard to contribute, and you end up making worthless threads. Try and relax a bit. Get a summer job or something.

The Wiki on this site is much better.
