i remember those rainy days playing NBA live 2003 on LAN with my buddies on a local computer shop after school...i miss those simple days,no problems no commitments just pure fun
What I liked about NBA live 03 was that u could hit floaters from beyond 3point line while sprinting but it only works when you're near the 3point line
MJ was his usual self (dick). He wants to get paid more which was bad for the fans because he was the only player not to be in the most popular basketball game during that time. I didn't care anyway because I had Kobe.
I stopped playing Live in 2001, when I had Iverson on a fastbreak, nobody in front of him, easy 2, when all of the sudden, Mutombo comes out of nowhere to take the charge.
I loved how NBA Live 08 allowed you to add legends to current teams... Also hoped they kept Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy as commentators for 19.. Maybe add Mark Jackson too.
I remember before it was even called NBA Live ....back in the early 90s when sega genesis was out and it was called whatever 2 teams that made it to the finals the previous yr...(Lakers vs Celtics,.. Bulls vs Lakers...Bulls vs Blazers....etc)....side note...who remember the NCAA game called Coack K on ea ...classic and they had a USA basketball game with the foreign teams on it💯
I had lakers vs bulls. I traded for Dee Brown and Shawn Kemp on the Lakers. I had nothing but Dunkers and 3 point shooters. End the game with 130 plus points.
On 96 live on Sega genesis if u go to create a player and enter the players name (i.e. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, etc, it will add that player and all their stats to the game automatically)
It wasnt about graphics back then it was about gameplay and how fun it is we neva complained about graphics hrs and hrs no sleep on dat game I no I did lol
Hahaha I play Sega mega and live 95,96 all day and night no stop.. knowing all statistics in my head.. in that time everything was original name's, statistics, overall rating.. completely best games for sure
Ultralightaman I loved the coach K game. Only wish they had Georgetown and Carolina but seeing that it’s Coach K, I can see why the Tar Heels weren’t in it
live 06 is when it went downhill. 10 is where live was getting better, but after that ,they screwed up and ditch the foundation that mike wang left with live 10.
Love the Live Series. My NBA Live games are 16, 18, 09, 10, 15, 03 & 02. Haven’t played 19 plan on getting God Willing soon. Elite 11 had promise too bad it got cancelled. This a great trip down memory lane thanks.
Fun fact: The Super Nintendo version of NBA Live 95 is technically set in the 1993-1994 season of the NBA, while the Sega Genesis and PC version are more accurately set in the 1994-1995 season.
Lmao, Stockton pushed Olajuwon like 10 feet away at 0:38 "Steal by Stockton"! Also, NBA Live 2003 was my favorite! I still play it to this day honestly :)
I agree with you on Madden. I bought a ps2 to relive the glory days and 2004 to 2005 they changed it. I think tgey did it to make the defense better with the hut stick being added but the defense is overpowered. The ball could be thrown over a players head and he would bat it down and the way the defense takes angles is also crazy.
It's best on Sega Genesis! It's also best after having updated it to 97-98 rosters and pulling all them rookie phenoms out of school and throwing them on their teams. (Dirk, Tracy, Vince, Paul, Tim, Allen, etc)
What happened to live man the gameplay was smooth the fundamentals was perfect it was fun to play and the graphics were great. It's like once they start making it for next gen consoles it just got shitty
I really like nba live 07, it makes me feel that I am totally in the game itself when it is crucial and game winning shots lol. Like the sounds of the audience, too realistic.
My Two Cents: don’t care whether or not anybody agrees with me but the NBA was better in real life when the video games’ graphics were bad. As the graphics evolved to look like the video game was an actual game the NBA’s authenticity went down and everybody gets all their knowledge from either playing 2k or memorizing stats via internet memes or what ESPN announcers say
Bro i know exactly what you talking bout cause my friends get most pf their facts from playing madden stats & they have it to where you can pretty much school yourself instead of actually watching a real game
Why doesn't EA make a baseball game? I mean, they already have NBA Live competing against 2k so it will make sense if they came out with an MLB game to compete with MLB The Show. MLB Live 2019, name suggestion?
You forgot the games when they were called by the finals teams like Lakers vs Celtics, Bulls vs Blazers etc... Those were the originals before they switched the name.

2003 was groundbreaking and so much fun at the time. Having all those dribbling moves on the right stick was a brand new concept that year.
That one was my favorite
i remember those rainy days playing NBA live 2003 on LAN with my buddies on a local computer shop after school...i miss those simple days,no problems no commitments just pure fun
The transition from NBA Live 2000 to NBA Live 2001 is amazing.
The frame rate in 2000 was ass
It should use PC port
The transition from NBA Live 2005 for PS2 to Live 2006 for Xbox360 was even more amazing
Pippen jumped over the whole goal 😂😂
Nasir Aameen Dude that cracked me up hard loool
Lmaooooo word. He got ups
I had to watch it again Lol
Bru he was at least 50th feet 😂😂
Redd Foxx 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
No NBA soundtrack game will EVER match the mid to late 90s/2000-2001 Traz Damji tracks. So soulful and captures the spirit of the period.
NBA Live 97 and 98 were freaking awesome.
What I liked about NBA live 03 was that u could hit floaters from beyond 3point line while sprinting but it only works when you're near the 3point line
Jabren Harris yeah live 03 was the shit
I hit floaters every day in my toilet
0:38 Stockton backcourt violation lol
1:05 don't act like that ain't the coldest dunk in all of NBA video game history.
Dudes head was over the backboard
That dunk to fake
Direct dunk button lol
lol snatchin money off the top of the backboard.
ikr
1:11 he jump about 10 foot
3:30 and turn on caption LOL
LMAO
beraahhhhh
HAHA
🤣🤣🤣
Oh what a penis!!!
Player 99= Michael Jordan
yes
Why could they never use him until later games?
Siqaramin Massaquoi couldn’t afford him
MJ was his usual self (dick). He wants to get paid more which was bad for the fans because he was the only player not to be in the most popular basketball game during that time. I didn't care anyway because I had Kobe.
Worst live especially since 97 player 23 Jordan was nasty I used to have classic battles vs my bro n law on PS1 vs his Pacers
0:36 that push by Stockton was brutal.
You could do that all day with live 97-98 and score 100-2
I stopped playing Live in 2001, when I had Iverson on a fastbreak, nobody in front of him, easy 2, when all of the sudden, Mutombo comes out of nowhere to take the charge.
lol
NBA LIVE: looks realistic from a far
NBA 2K: looks realistic in closeups
Remember when Jordan was never in the games? He was like “Player” or something
Roster Player, yep.
And barkley also except shutup and jam on mega drive / genesis
Why is that?
Barry Bonds was also never in the MLB games
4:27 someone in the crowd screams
FBI OPEN UP
The vault dweller LMAO
Lol
That Kyrie sequence in live 16 was crazy
7:52 Stephen curry ankle breaker
NBA LIVE 2006 is my Favorite Nba Live as of yet.
Winstudio
Yap u right
With steve nash i was the Killer every Jump Shot was Money
Man Live 95 is one of my all time favs. Easily put in 200 plus hours into that game.
That's because back then, it was the most realistic basketball game from a pace of play. It was a huge leap from Bulls vs Blazers.
I like how pippen's whole body jumped over the rim😂🤣💪🏾
Over the shot clock
Before any of this it was Lakers vs Celtics and the NBA Playoffs
i still have that game lol
Don’t forget about bulls vs blazers and the nba playoffs
And dont forget the dream team and nba showdown.
0:49 that Stockton move was ahead of its time
I loved how NBA Live 08 allowed you to add legends to current teams...
Also hoped they kept Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy as commentators for 19.. Maybe add Mark Jackson too.
I remember before it was even called NBA Live ....back in the early 90s when sega genesis was out and it was called whatever 2 teams that made it to the finals the previous yr...(Lakers vs Celtics,..
Bulls vs Lakers...Bulls vs Blazers....etc)....side note...who remember the NCAA game called Coack K on ea ...classic and they had a USA basketball game with the foreign teams on it💯
I had the lakers vs celtics one and the bulls vs the blazer one also on sega great memories
😂😂😂lmao
earlando salazar I bought Primetime football for the Sega 🔥 shit took me back to bad grades and sleepovers 😂😂
earlando salazar I remember that dream team game. Always wanted to rent it from blockbuster but never got the chance
I had lakers vs bulls. I traded for Dee Brown and Shawn Kemp on the Lakers. I had nothing but Dunkers and 3 point shooters. End the game with 130 plus points.
Marv Albert's voice from 2004 till now.. The best nba commentator.
Mike de Gracias “3:56, the Knicks uuupp by six.” “Ewing, yesss!” “Jackson for three, yesss!”
Wow, times have definitely changed, i remember those days rocking out. Playing NBA live, with those leggo -like ballers.
On 96 live on Sega genesis if u go to create a player and enter the players name (i.e. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, etc, it will add that player and all their stats to the game automatically)
I remember dat.....good old days
For magic Johnson, you have to put magic Johnson, not Earvin haha, that was always Comedy to me
💯
It wasnt about graphics back then it was about gameplay and how fun it is we neva complained about graphics hrs and hrs no sleep on dat game I no I did lol
Super Nintendo did that too.
NBA live 10 is one of the best basketball games ever idc
I thought it was just me I couldn't agree more
Bro 10 was so good, it's the most under rated live game
I agree
It was way better than 2k10 that’s forsure.
Cringy Content I swear
Ive played every nba live that ever came out and will be getting live 19 this friday! Been a fan since day one.thru the good times and the bad.
3:15 why is the commentary in Live '06 the exact same commentary as what we have in the 2K games today...?
NBA live 2019 has better graphics than every single 2k
95 was my favorite. Played that game all day and night!
Hahaha I play Sega mega and live 95,96 all day and night no stop.. knowing all statistics in my head.. in that time everything was original name's, statistics, overall rating.. completely best games for sure
Live 2005 was the truth then it went downhill from there.
carltonth22 NBA 2K tookover around 2K8 but Live has been running this shit from the 90s to 2005-ish
I like 07
NBA LIVE 2003 WAS SO SMOOTH
SHAQUILLE O'NEAL WAS A MONSTER IN THAT GAME AND IT BROUGHT THE SOUNDTRACK AS WELL 🔥
Man Live 95 and Coach K were great. NBA Live actually goes back to Lakers vs. Celtics was probably the first EA basketball game.
Ultralightaman I loved the coach K game. Only wish they had Georgetown and Carolina but seeing that it’s Coach K, I can see why the Tar Heels weren’t in it
live 06 is when it went downhill. 10 is where live was getting better, but after that ,they screwed up and ditch the foundation that mike wang left with live 10.
That Pippen dunk was crazy but what was even more impressive than the dunk is the fact that Jeff Hornacek has his head above the rim on defense lmao
And also that pippen jumped higher than the entire height of the backboard
NBA live '97 for PlayStation was 🔥🔥 TBS & TNT Scoreboard layout. Jordan's likeness wasn't in the game, but #24 for the Bulls was him. 😂
Nba Live 95 is better than Live 14
that was the shit back in the day
I played Live 95 until 2001. Basically the Live series went down hill after 2003
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
95 was so lovely... With an incredible gameplay
@@qgreen100 Yeah back im the day tho today it's absolute dogshit in comparison
The first ones were so much more fun to play then the later ones.
NBA Live 09 was my first ever basketball videogame. Had a lot of memories growing up with that one.
Sega Genesis all I see when it comes to the early days of NBA Live..💯💯
Live 95 and 2005 were the best ever!
Love the Live Series. My NBA Live games are 16, 18, 09, 10, 15, 03 & 02. Haven’t played 19 plan on getting God Willing soon. Elite 11 had promise too bad it got cancelled. This a great trip down memory lane thanks.
B Hicks i had every live from 95-2010...been playing 2k since but just jumped ship back to live19...I’m tired of the VC system with 2k
I can still remember that in 95 you can only trade your starters lol.
NBA live 06 has the best crowd lighting and graphics to this day in any NBA game
Chris Clinton facts G.
2k11 has the best graphics
Wot in tarnation
everything on 06 is clean
Chris Clinton bobo
I remember I could do free throw line dunks with Vlade Divac on “Bulls vs Blazers” and NBA live 95😆
Yep even with bill Cartwright lol
Vlade divac lmao
*Safe to say Era 90s talk about HANG TIME LMAO*
Fun fact: The Super Nintendo version of NBA Live 95 is technically set in the 1993-1994 season of the NBA, while the Sega Genesis and PC version are more accurately set in the 1994-1995 season.
You can tell they used their NBA street series for a few of the earlier games .
Shows the dark years too. Live19 is on the come up, I'm never getting 2k again
After today's 2K trailer I'm actually considering Live this year. Never bought Live before.
Bongoinc69 try the demo it’s out now
Watch 2ks new neighborhood trailer it’s amazing
Same
That's fine if you've never bought live but they barely add any improvements. I'm shocked to hear VanGundy on it.
Bongoinc69 I’ve always liked NBA live better than 2k
95' and 03' were the best 🔥🔥🔥!!!
I remember when they announced that players outfits would have actual movement...shorts..shirts
I love 15 and 16, never got the love it deserved, they played really well
I thought 18 did too
Lmao, Stockton pushed Olajuwon like 10 feet away at 0:38 "Steal by Stockton"! Also, NBA Live 2003 was my favorite! I still play it to this day honestly :)
I enjoyed 95 for Genesis, 2001 and 2002 for PS1 but the best Live! ever was 2005, great gameplay.
After Live 2004 it was never the same smh... The whole smoothness of the game changed after that...
Madden 2004 also...
I agree with you on Madden. I bought a ps2 to relive the glory days and 2004 to 2005 they changed it. I think tgey did it to make the defense better with the hut stick being added but the defense is overpowered. The ball could be thrown over a players head and he would bat it down and the way the defense takes angles is also crazy.
Omg the first couple NBA live brings backs so much memories
NBA Live had the best announcer. "ShAAAAA KIIIIIIIIIIILLLL OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEEEEEEEAAAAL.
I like NBA live 2007 for Playstation 2.
You can dunk and a defender 2 feet away that was never touched falls over.
Nba live 2005 was the stuffing
NBA live 2001 was my favorite b-ball game back in the day.
Live 03 was hands down one of the best
The basketball court graphic was looked good since day one...
boy we came a long way
David Robinson performing a windmill dunk!! 90s NBA version if you have a high flyer in the team you're most likely unstoppable.
Nba live 19 looks like I'm having a seizure while playing
Great post..I remember LIVE from back in the day... I m all in..
🤣🤣🤣 them brothas has hangtime in nba live 99-2000
NBA live 97 was the first basket ball game i ever played. have tried my best to buy one every year since then
It's best on Sega Genesis! It's also best after having updated it to 97-98 rosters and pulling all them rookie phenoms out of school and throwing them on their teams. (Dirk, Tracy, Vince, Paul, Tim, Allen, etc)
NBA LIVE 07 to NBA LIVE 10 is in french it's m'y country language 🇨🇵🇫🇷
c'est superbe
My boy Roster Player was a monster in the mid 90s
I won't lie those '95 graphics are godly
96 was the best of the 90s to me
Is it a joke?
@@gatpaham no
@@gatpaham For the time obvs
@JL-CptAtom old man lmao
2006 was the last live that was good. Then it all went down from there
1:48 “he completely abused the poor rim there” doesn’t even touch the rim
What happened to live man the gameplay was smooth the fundamentals was perfect it was fun to play and the graphics were great. It's like once they start making it for next gen consoles it just got shitty
Love NBA live 00 05 06 07 08. Favorite cover Gilbert arenas.
I also loved 08. Especially how you could add legends to current teams.
NBA live 07 will never be topped
IZZY 05
I really like nba live 07, it makes me feel that I am totally in the game itself when it is crucial and game winning shots lol. Like the sounds of the audience, too realistic.
I used to love NBA live 95 on Sega Genesis When they star doing the starting line UPS
My Two Cents: don’t care whether or not anybody agrees with me but the NBA was better in real life when the video games’ graphics were bad. As the graphics evolved to look like the video game was an actual game the NBA’s authenticity went down and everybody gets all their knowledge from either playing 2k or memorizing stats via internet memes or what ESPN announcers say
Bro i know exactly what you talking bout cause my friends get most pf their facts from playing madden stats & they have it to where you can pretty much school yourself instead of actually watching a real game
NBA Live 04 was my favorite. I still have it for PS2!
People complaining about live and 2k now when 20 years ago people had to play with minecraft characters lmao
nba live 19 plays exactly like 2k24, very ahead of its time.
Y'all be sleeping on nba live. Nba live is the game man
Live over shittyass 2k for me anyday fam
2k is boring
2k18 and 2k19 are the same
U should play live and see..
Man 2k better y’all dumb as shit
@@eliasjokesd3946 got both and live 19 is better.
Pillzer one who the fuck is talking to u
NBA Live stop being good after 06 in my opinion made a bit of a come back in 10 but never been the same since
Nba Live '05 & '06 are the best!
L
so much memories with 98. 18 and 19 were not a complete disaster tho. They should find their niche, just imagine a next gen NBA Street.
All those late 90s lives were good
Commentary is very good as well as the in game sound effects
Why doesn't EA make a baseball game? I mean, they already have NBA Live competing against 2k so it will make sense if they came out with an MLB game to compete with MLB The Show. MLB Live 2019, name suggestion?
Stephan McDaniel because Sony owns the video game rights for mlb, hence why mlb the show is the only relevant baseball game on the market
Unreal how Live ‘19 looks smoother and more realistic, gameplay wise, than 2K24 does. E.A. …. PLEASE bring LIVE back!
1:05 when you have the GameShark plugged in
I love NBA 2004 on PlayStation 2 because you can unlock the rapper Jermaine Dupree on it and NBA Live 09 was also good on XBOX 360
The best video I've ever seen in my life
For me personally Live 2000. I played it all day and night with my NYK and Kings!
We've come a long way since 95.
They also made a few of these for DOS back in the day. Live 95, 96, and 97, the rest were on windows.
You forgot the games when they were called by the finals teams like Lakers vs Celtics, Bulls vs Blazers etc... Those were the originals before they switched the name.
