Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

NBA Live 2001 should've been the greatest basketball game on earth, but missing gameplay elements and a few other glitches keep it from superstar status. But despite it all, PS2 owners and long-time NBA Live fans will be hard pressed to find a better hoops game for their console for the foreseeable future.

The first thing players will notice is how the graphics represent such a tremendous leap beyond the series' previous instalments. In general, players are nicely animated, and there is a good amount of detail to the arenas. However, the individual-player graphics are uneven. While most of the bodies are well rendered, many of the faces are way off the mark. Virtual Shaquille O'Neal's face looks nothing like the real Shaq's face, and most of the NBA's lesser names are completely unrecognisable. Some marquee players, such as Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan, look fairly authentic.

While the PS2 usually plays an intelligent game of basketball, the controls in NBA Live 2001 have a slightly sluggish feel to them and take some getting used to. Also, EA stripped away both the franchise mode and the NBA challenges (three-point contests, etc.), which had been in previous incarnations of the Live series. There is, however, an excellent one-on-one mode, as well as many legendary NBA players of the past to play with and against.

While NBA Live 2001 doesn't have all you'd hope for in the first pro-basketball game for the PS2, it does have enough game to keep you playing all season long. --Mark Brooks



Manufacturer's Description

Year after year, EA Sports brings new features to the mix while finely honing those that are already established. NBA Live 2001 is no different. While there isn't much left to add to the Live series at this point, somehow EA has managed to bump up the realism even further. NBA Live 2001 is the best playing b-ball sim on any system.NBA Live 2001 truly comes into its own in one area especially: control. It's really hard to find one single move innate to the NBA game that isn't included. You can get your feet wet with just the shoot, pass, turbo and jump commands, but after a few hours you'll be looking for more control, and Live 2001 delivers. Spinning, crossing over your dribble, faking and calling for picks are all at your fingertips, just waiting to be used. You may even post up and choose from four separate moves to go hard to the rack or use icon passing to hit your man at the back door. On defense, you can face up on your man and challenge him to drive to the hoop, call for a double team, or swat the ball away with either the steal or jump commands.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute crap, 6 Mar 2001
By I. Johnson (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This game has all the fancy bits at the loading screens etc, but when it came to plying a game it was no where near the quality EA normally produce. Graphics? I've seen better animation on the Simpsons, it was soo jerky I could'nt belive it it plays like the game has'nt been finished yet. But all the players look just like there real life counter parts and you have access to all the stats in the world, if this what you like this will interest you. When it came to playing the actual game (basketball) this was a bitter and shocking dissapointment I also have a Dreamcast and was looking forward to something better than or as good as NBA 2K. NBA 2K is still the best basketball game on any console and that was made in 1999.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best but playable, 20 Jun 2001
I have mixed opinions of this game. Graphically what this game does do is ok, put not as good as EA's very own Madden and NHL. Tha gameplay delivers what every other game before it has done, but little else, but why fix something if it is not broken. My only quarm is that tackling seems a bit hard to do without comitting a defensive foul. The cut-scenes are few but they are repeated over and over again. The games good, but maybe I'm not much of a basketball fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure Quality, 30 Jan 2001
By A Customer
The best thing that I can reveal about this game is the releastic images and gameplay that it has to offer. There are various arenas to shoot hoops, and the traditional courts. This is a good buy for any sport lover as it will keep you occupied for hours.

2.0 out of 5 stars An over hyped game
