@@realniggashit3 I acquired him in a trade when I was trying to build the Bucks. He turned into a 91, but it wasn't a very solid 91, which is weird. He was a PG, so he didn't put up 20 a game like the Centers and PFs would. He got like 7 ast and 8 reb a game, but got 15 ppg when he was at his peak. It changes, though, and I wouldn't be surprised that he got worse
NBA live 2004 is the one that most entertained me Maybe the best i've played were the last nba 2k, ok, but his was totally epic... It was completely full of new moves, new style, new way of playing. Maybe the best of all
I remember watching this intro, when the game came out, ant thinking "that dunk by Vince Carter was EPIC". One of the best games for me (second after nba live 05). After 05 the series started going downhill.
This is the best video game ever. Not just the best basketball game ever. But the best video game ever. This brought back so many memories to me and had times playing with my friends after school and on the weekends. This game was my first to ever play and this was back when there was no online games. I just wish i could go back to those fun moments.
I remember getting this the day it came out. I just remember how the body types was odd asf lol! Seemed like a bunch of bobbleheads running on the court.
man this was the last nba live i played.....since then its been 2k all day. I use to love nba live 2004 though. The freestyle control, then dunks, the shoes...awesome. But i really did hate when you tried to shake your defender and they would just bump you and push you back....so annoying
I also agree if this was the best Live of all time because all the great players of the 2000s era were here in their primes if you wanna play them. Timmy, Kobe, AI, Shaq, KG, Dirk, TMac, Vinsanity, Big Ben, C-Webb, Pierce, Ray², Kidd, to name some, and of course the introduction of rookies LeBron, DWade, Melo, and Bosh to the NBA 😊
going back, I just realized that even in the early NBA Live versions, the gameplay may be as bad as the ones out recently. We just didn't notice it because NBA 2K wasn't as good either until the 2010s
The Years Before the 360. The good ol days when people respected games like this :) Im goin to buy this off ebay again. But prob a lot cheaper then it was in 2004 the last time i bought it off there.
@thatonekid210 I'm not sure the name. It might be a cross over, then fade away. But that's not the point. I can tell you what buttons to press. What system are you playing it on?
@stevenchen1991 You're a liar, this game is nowhere near as good as basketball games now in any way. This was not even a good game but u say its better than new games lmao. If u liked this game kool, but dont lie. I've played every basketball game since Celtics vs. Lakers and the NBA Playoffs and they've got so much better than I thought possible. Since 99 NBA Live series has been dying and now is dead.
the most points i seen scored in a real game 5 min quarter i think was my friend Josh Blackburn, he score like 71 or 72 points on me in this game with jamal crawford when he played with the Chicago bulls. real talk real story. the realist i witness yet. with out the sliders up either or the rookie user cheat either
@sambo28baby Um MJ wasnt in this game, last games he was in were NBA Live 2003, NBA 2K3, NBA Inside Drive 2003 & NBA Shootout 2003. MJ's last season was the 2002-2003 season so there no possible way he was in this game because he wasnt even in the NBA anymore (3rd and final retirement).
this is way better than nba game now days,in this game u jus shoot dunk n pass....its not realistic but its a real video game its so fun.now they trynna make everything so real that it sucks cuz you cant make a game like a real life game
the Lil Flip Song in this was sweet as fuck too. oh yeah to top it off 2004 was the best ea sports year period for music Madden 2004 had a good ass soundtrack also. Live 2004 is the Best Nba Live period I don't give a fuck what you say.
really it was one of the best... I mean the newer games have better graphics and all that... but this game has atmosphere... the crowd screams when you dunk and so on... you really feel it..... the new NBA is just boring... no atmosphere at all
I used to be so cheap in this game. The blocks were so easy for the big men. Anyone with a block icon could block anyone. And the prostep was sooooo cheap, you could prostep from the 3 point line and dunk it lol
@757automatic If u were gonna get a old basketball game u should have got ESPN NBA Basketball 2K4 or ESPN NBA 2K5, u would have a better time. U dribble with the right analog stick, different ways get u different crosses
I remember playing this game all the time. Dynasty mode was amazing. Me an my brother always played this game on game-cube. I miss it. When my game-cube broke so i bought another one just for this game
man this was the last nba live game i ever bought, after 05 came out it was totally diff. from this one, this version of nba live had potential but everyth8ing went downhill
how many minutes per game? i play the 82 games with like 10 minutes per quarter and i completed the whole thing in 3 months. but you man, 25 years???? LOL
I had this on GameCube and I went to the game store to pick up a copy and they didn't have it I was so mad like wtf do you have the case sitting out for then
This was my most competitive nba game ever. I used to play this in college with my classmates on ps2. It was the shit back then. We even trash talk with each other while playing it. 😂😂😂😂
wow, you were in college back then? i JUST STARTED college! from generation to generation i just want to say thank you. these games were my childhood and it makes me so happy knowing that even adults held this game close to their heart
I used to be so hype when this intro came on😂😂
Facts 🤣🤣 I NEVER skipped it
used to? I still do.
We all thought these graphics was the shit back then
Mel davis yess sirrr
I know right
Now it’s just shit 🤣
@@Cash_infinite uuuhhhh no
@@Cash_infinite you young that's why it's all good
0:36 Michael Finley did Reggie Miller so dirty lmfao.
Bruh, I watched this mug and I was like "HELL nah my boy got them ankles tweaked" lmao
Cooked him 🤣🤣
Did em dirty🤣
"From the three point line, I don't Kerr" :D
And then they show Stojakovic scoring a 3.
i always thought Chingy said "from the 3 point line i'm Dell Curr" meaning Dell Curry
this game had all the retro jordans
I always had the flu game colors and the ones with the last season he had with the Wizards
@LA Lakers Incorrect. NBA live 2003 had featured sneakers such as Retro Jordans, Reebok, Adidas, Converse, T-Mac and so on.
@@jameswalker6864 didn't have 2003, so I wouldn't know.
best nba live of all time
Pablo Sarrio easily..
mcgrady on the magic ouuu
2004 & 2005
Pablo Sarrio Im about to go get this again
2000 is a close second...very close second
@The Truth 05 was AMAZING. The graphics made a big leap and the all star weekend was just insane. 04 was more fun tho.
At one point my cd got too scratched up I had no choice to watch the intro 😂 or it’ll freeze
The hypest Intro ever to a sports game! Classic!
Along with Fifa 06.
Nah I think 2k12
2k13 for me
This and NBA Street vol.2
FIFA 98
Everything about this era was straight fun. And still better than 2k20.
Euh ?
@@tonidenza4057
Wym Euh?
wasn't LeBron a rookie in this game?
yup.
Yeah, his rating was 68 or 69, which was above average for the game's rating scale
Yup and I remember how freakin tiny the square when you free throw with him. And we used to play it on Superstar.
@Phil L: Yeah but he rarely improves in dynasty mode. Sometimes he gets worse.
@@realniggashit3 I acquired him in a trade when I was trying to build the Bucks. He turned into a 91, but it wasn't a very solid 91, which is weird. He was a PG, so he didn't put up 20 a game like the Centers and PFs would. He got like 7 ast and 8 reb a game, but got 15 ppg when he was at his peak. It changes, though, and I wouldn't be surprised that he got worse
That's the best game that nba live could of done I'll take this over 2k anytime just wish they could renew it for ps4 or Xbox 1
Best nba game ever!
Drop Darealest hell yeah
true.this and NBA love 05
No cap 🧢
0:25 get that shit outta here lol
🤣🤣
Back when we use to watch the whole intro to video games 😭 I was so addicted to NBA live back then
Man I wish I still had this game, it was just plain fun! back when bball games being realistic wasnt a huge deal and people played for FUN!
The remixes to some of my favorite hip hop songs were probably my favorite part of the 2000s EA sports Era
NBA live 2004 is the one that most entertained me
Maybe the best i've played were the last nba 2k, ok, but his was totally epic... It was completely full of new moves, new style, new way of playing. Maybe the best of all
That moment of Vinsanity at 0:55-0:58 in time with the music got me like... 😭🤔😩🙆🏾🙌🏾
I was gonna remake this video with NBA 2K16 until I seen that, I'll pass.
Toronto Vince was lit
Am I the only one who used to get HYPE AS SHIT to this intro??? 😂😂😂
Adrian Thompson nope your not
Brooo can I tell you 😂😂😂
I remember watching this intro, when the game came out, ant thinking "that dunk by Vince Carter was EPIC". One of the best games for me (second after nba live 05). After 05 the series started going downhill.
I had both of them!
Such a nostalgia trip
You couldn't touch me wit tmac in this game, I used to drop 50 in a 4 min timeline bruh
Frenchy Ball I played with tmac and would only use him and score 100+ he was a cheat player in this game 💯💯💯
tf who else noticed lebron got on Jordan's
I did Jordan 1s
The greatest live of all time!!
that michael finley crossover was insane!!
0:37
Michael Jordan’s last NBA video game appearance until 2k11
Back in highschool, I used to look at this as a real graphic game. I miss those days.
From the 3 point line I don’t currr 🤙🏾🔥
The soundtracks of this game was legendary Chingy and Freeway did their thing.......55 secs my favorite dunk
This is the best video game ever. Not just the best basketball game ever. But the best video game ever. This brought back so many memories to me and had times playing with my friends after school and on the weekends. This game was my first to ever play and this was back when there was no online games. I just wish i could go back to those fun moments.
This game had online play bruh lol. Great game though!
2005 nba live was the best but the soundtracking for 04 was sick
lebron rating was a 69 and this was the first live to adopt the authehic arenas
cant wait to get this game, graphics look great and gameplay is so realistic
Vince, Shaq, T-Mac, Kobe, AI, Yao, Ray Allen, rookie LeBron, Ben Wallace
50 years after this game release
Ok grandpa what is the best game ever?)
Nitrokid217 you're right, thats why they put sliders on the game so you can adjust the game to your liking
The last NBA live I actually played ... so much memory
I remember getting this the day it came out. I just remember how the body types was odd asf lol! Seemed like a bunch of bobbleheads running on the court.
This is when Live used to be the shit back then. But now this years Live 14 is gonna be utterly garbage!!
Chingy sounds so bored in this remix lol
0:37 was Bruce Bowen's layup :0
man this was the last nba live i played.....since then its been 2k all day. I use to love nba live 2004 though. The freestyle control, then dunks, the shoes...awesome. But i really did hate when you tried to shake your defender and they would just bump you and push you back....so annoying
I was like, "Seriously, dude it's just a normal layup lol" Yes, I remember playing this game and I did that dribble with Kobe. It's SIIICCKKK!!!
Childhood 💯🏀🔥
Dude, brings back memories, this was legit good back in the day haha. Seeing it today, game looks shitty hahahaha
That was my favorite intro back then also favorite track like the lyrics they put in the video goes perfect with it
@0:38 😂😂
slam dunk of Vince Carter is the same of 2000 contenst MAGIC
@ahawks23 yessssssssssss 04 and 03 are the best in live
my fav game when I was in secondary school haha
Excellent.
Lmao, that was a hell of a crossover at :37
this shit is actually COMICAL looking back
@0:26 That block though 💥🔥
When nba live had fires trailers
chingy - right thurr ( nba remix)
same i miss this game
THIS GAME IS SICK

NBA Live vs 2k... I think live is better because 2k is a big downgrade and it cheats
One of the best intros in nba live series, In my opinion.
this game prove how long lebron playing in the league ❤
Yup LeBron been since NBA Live 2004 to NBA 2K24
@stevenchen1991 You're a liar, this game is nowhere near as good as basketball games now in any way. This was not even a good game but u say its better than new games lmao.

There's no defense for the m.finley crossover at 0:37
This great is pretty enjoyable except for the fact that the defence is unrealistic and the comeback a.i. is unbelievable
Lmao this song
this is way better than nba game now days,in this game u jus shoot dunk n pass....its not realistic but its a real video game its so fun.now they trynna make everything so real that it sucks cuz you cant make a game like a real life game
the Lil Flip Song in this was sweet as fuck too. oh yeah to top it off 2004 was the best ea sports year period for music Madden 2004 had a good ass soundtrack also. Live 2004 is the Best Nba Live period I don't give a fuck what you say.

Downloading this game right now, about to play with the Pacers to knock down som threes with Reggie Miller
I remember playing this game all the time. Dynasty mode was amazing. Me an my brother always played this game on game-cube. I miss it. When my game-cube broke so i bought another one just for this game
man this was the last nba live game i ever bought, after 05 came out it was totally diff. from this one, this version of nba live had potential but everyth8ing went downhill
Just type on youtube "NBA LIVE 2004 DONWLOAD" & select the 1st video.It has a link on the description
how many minutes per game? i play the 82 games with like 10 minutes per quarter and i completed the whole thing in 3 months. but you man, 25 years???? LOL
good memories, i used to play with cavs and averaged 8 blocks per game with Z lol , I loved this game!
t-mac with the magic on this game he can easily drop 50 each game - it's a shame he never stayed healthy / had the drive what a waste of talent
I miss this damn game so much. It was really, really easy to block tons of shots.
Oh yes! Sorry, the dribble movie what I mentioned is at 0:38 after Bowen's layup
:D
I had this on GameCube and I went to the game store to pick up a copy and they didn't have it I was so mad like wtf do you have the case sitting out for then
so what is the rating of lebron james in nba live 04?...michael jordan in nba live 03?vince carter in nba live 04?pls anyone?
graphics today would make kids heads explode in 2004
@AO17 yea i kno, i realized it rite after i posted that comment but thought fuck it, its UA-cam someone will correct me
Nba Live 2004 was the best live ever

NBA Live 10 is hell good guys. Trust me, NBA Live 04 was good, but everything up until now was crap. NBA Live 10 FTW!!

Legendary intro
This was my most competitive nba game ever. I used to play this in college with my classmates on ps2. It was the shit back then. We even trash talk with each other while playing it. 😂😂😂😂
wow, you were in college back then? i JUST STARTED college! from generation to generation i just want to say thank you. these games were my childhood and it makes me so happy knowing that even adults held this game close to their heart
@pwnzered the only 2K games i enjoyed on the PS2 Console was 2k4 and 2k5
Falling out with mad nostalgia I remember this like it was yesterday
it was too unrealistic, thats why. it was arcade style which some liked but not for me
i have this game its been a while cents i played it i need to play it again some time
