Binding: CD-ROM Brand: EA EAN: 0014633120189 Edition: Standard ESRB Age Rating: Everyone Format: CD-ROM Label: EA Sports Manufacturer: EA Sports Maximum Weight Recommendation: 0 hundredths-pounds Model: 12018 Platform: Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 95 Publisher: EA Sports Studio: EA Sports Accessories: Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: A longtime front runner in graphics and playability, EA Sports has tweaked NBA Live 2000's simulation mode and artificial intelligence to create a solid, all-around roundball experience. The biggest new addition to this year's version, however, is undoubtedly the presence of Michael Jordan. Absent from NBA Live predecessors, the greatest player in NBA history makes an appearance in NBA Live 2000's "One-on-One" mode where the player challenges the legends of the NBA on an outdoor court. The new Franchise Mode adds welcome simulation depth to NBA Live 2000's quick arcade gameplay. Players assume control of a NBA team and guide them through 25 seasons; juggling rosters, scouting the draft, and number-crunching the salary cap are all requirements of the aspiring NBA general manager. Like previous versions, all NBA teams are included and rosters are updated for the 99/00 season. Furthermore, users can create their own players for the game and even scan in their own likeness with the "Face in the Game" feature. Once again, EA Sports succeeds in creating a visually stunning basketball game with exciting, intuitive gameplay. NBA Live 2000's numerous features (including three-point shootouts and Internet multiplayer) and improved realism guarantee hours of hoop enjoyment. --Doug Radcliffe Amazon.com Product Description: One of the newest additions to EA's sports lineup, NBA 2000 features more action, more slamming, and more attitude. Broadcast-style camera technology brings you to the heart of the action. Next-generation facial animation with added speech links gives the players more personality and attitude. You can go five-on-five or one-on-one on the street court, with the greatest names in the NBA, past and present, as NBA Live exclusively brings you retired names in the NBA, including the greatest all-time player, Michael Jordan. Play with one of five All-Star teams from the past decade or create your own classic matchups. Using EA's Get in the Game technology, you can put yourself and your friends in the game or go head-to-head against NBA stars and play against your favorite teams. EA even provides a forum for NBA Live 2000 fans to chat and share inside tips on its Web site. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A Bargain!At 15 bucks, this game is a total bargain. I'm not quite sure how EA sports manages to make their games WORSE from year to year, but that is exactly what they did with the NBA Live series. NBA 2000 is much better than it's 2001 2002 counterparts. It's a very realistic basketball simulation. My only gripe with it, is that the defense is a little TOO tight. Even with a quick PG, you'll have a very hard time getting penetration on anyone guarding you up close.(in real basketball, ...

Rating:  - EASPORTS have done it againI am not a diehard fan of basketball but nevertheless I found this game very enjoyable. I love playing one on one with Michael Jordan. I found it very difficult to win at first especially when you take on a bigger player like Shaquile O'Neal. I also love the three point shootout which is very easy so would be good for beginners. I started playing exhibition matches on the skill level of rookie but I was winning easily so I upped the skill level to pro and thats about the right level for me and most people. ...

The graphics are superb, the AI much improved, the gameplay enthralling and the only detraction is the in-game comments get a bit boring. All-in-all a great game, one recommendation is to get a joystick or game-pad to play this...it really helps. Rating: - Impressive graphics and playability, action slow at times.I had spent much time playing NBA Live 98 and was ready to upgrade. I decided to purchase NBA Live 2000 and give it a shot. The basic play style is very similar to the previous NBA Live products. The one item that is truely worth buying the game for is the import face feature. This allows you not only to create yourself by setting your height, weight, and abilities (slightly modified for the game, of course), but also allows you to import a photograph of yourself. By mapping out key features ... Read More |
