A fantastic mix of real-life sensation, love of basketball and its sparkling stars, excitement and action-packed action are what drives the continued success of the NBA Live series! As always, the game of the series contains complete statistics for all players, teams, halls and stadium. You can play in Exhibition, Season, Play-off mode. There is even a three-point shooting mode. Graphically, the game overshadows all sports simulators. The players look amazing and the animations are beyond praise. Coaches run along the endline and change players during the match, players throw in a jump, with a turn, defenders and attackers literally fly into the air, and tired players heavily drop their hands on their hips during free throws. The sound is good, especially the music, the screams of the crowd warm up the blood.
