NBA Live 2001 for PlayStation 1

Pros: Good graphics, smooth and easy to learn controls, lots of options
Cons: Yucky audience graphics

A new year, a new series of sports games. And the question we’re all asking ourselves is of course “Should I get this version even though I have the 2000 one?” With most games, it depends. More often than not the improvements are limited to updating...

Pros: Great graphics, Great gameplay, So realsitic you think you're there!
Cons: None.

By far, the top rated sports games are done by Electronic Arts. That’s why when searching for a basketball game I naturally, without thinking grabbed NBA Live 2001. I knew, by the standard they set for last years best basketball game I wouldn’t be...

Pros: Nice graphics, best basketball game on the PC.
Cons: Face Editor still out of whack, rosters out of date.

*Note: This is a review of the PC Version of NBA Live 2001. The PS2 and PC versions came out later than the PS version, and Epinions hasn't added a new game to the database for 2, going on 3 months. I'm *SO* glad they "updated" the site....

Pros: One on one option, and graphics.
Cons: Everything not mentioned in Pros.

I am a pretty big basketball fan, not nearly as much as before since I am a Chicago Bulls fan. But, I enjoyed all the other NBA live games, especially 2000, and since 01 will be for playstation 2, I decided to buy it. After playing a few games, I finally...

Pros: Good gameplay.
Cons: Pretty bad graphics.

Gameplay:
NBA Live 2001 has some of the best gameplay I've ever seen incorporated in a Nba basketball game, only falling short to the all-mighty Nba2k1 for the Sega Dreamcast, but you have to realize this is only a regular Playstation game....

Pros: New features, more detailed graphics
Cons: Color commentator too repetitive

When I first played NBA Live 2001, I'll admit, I thought it seemed a lot like NBA Live 2000. I was kind of upset that I had forked over $40 (plus tax mind you, hehe) to my local Best Buy store.

Then I played it some more. And more. And more....

Pros: Always Improving Graphics, Updated Players
Cons: Not Much New, Improvements Not Really Any Better

This year, a little extra time was put in, with high expectations, that leave a lot of us wondering where the time went. Normally NBA Live is realeased at the beginning of the NBA season. When's the last time EA released a "Game Name" "Year" in the...

Pros: It's basketball, nice look
Cons: poor play control, no franchise, long load times, players look stupid, bad views

I'm a huge basketball fan. Enormous. Absolutely gigantic.

So when I saw how terrific Madden 2001 was for the PS2, I sat squirming, waiting for what those geniuses at EA could do with a basketball game.

I could not have been more...

Pros: Graphics, Game Features, & Old School Players.
Cons: None

EA Sports does it again with the new release of NBA Live 2001. By adding new features such as the One on One, the NBA Challenge, Practice Mode, & adding All Stars from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Probably the most anticipated part of this game was...

Pros: It's pretty much the only basketball game on the market. Stunning graphics.
Cons: Highly questionable AI, unresponsive controls, bizarre stats.

EA Sports continues its foray into mediocrity with the latest installment in their "NBA LIVE" series for the PC. Right off the bat, EA decided to scrap a few of the features included with 2000 - practice mode and the 3 point shootout. Admittedly, these...

Pros: Great gameplay, graphics and soundtrack
Cons: You'll be missing custom teams and players

The graphics were definitely better when compared with previous basketball PC software. The soundtrack was also a great follow-up to the groovin' tunes from the 2000 version. Barring some missing features like PC game-saving and custom player and team...

Pros: Good graphics, AI, Best basketball game out!!
Cons: Takes a little long to load

If you've played any other NBA Live series game and thought it was pretty good, then this game will definitely make you fall in love with it. This game has everything from good graphics and good game AI when you're playing against the computer. One...

Pros: Updated rosters (although some rookies are left out)
Cons: Slow game speed, annoying pauses during game play.

I'm a huge basketball junkie. I play all the time, I watch just about every game on TV (Go Celtics), and I've been getting the NBA Live games since I had my Super Nintendo.

This game is basically the same as last years' with a few key...

Pros: The in-game challenge
Cons: Very choppy, not much new since last year

This game isn't really a great buy if you own the NBA Live 2000 game. There rally isn't much change in this version. Yes they added new low-post moves, and the in-game challenge feature is great, which is like Madden cards, but the game engine is getting...

Pros: Great
Cons: Great
