NBA Live 98
SCORE: 90
Close to twenty years ago NBA Live 98 was released on the Super NES, and Sega Genesis. This basketball video game has aged really well. I love the different modes and ways we can play basketball teams from that era. I also like the visuals and the sounds. If you watched the game we played in NBA Live 98 then you know we were able to rain down threes easily. Yes we were playing in the arcade mode. I loved hearing the announcer tell us: “THREE!”
The angled view of the basketball court felt really weird at first. Thankfully we adapted to it rather quickly. Players look good for that era. The music is fun to listen to while shooting, stealing, and slam dunking in NBA Live 98. This retro sports video game feels like basketball. Some of the modern games miss that which is a real shame.
I would like someone to bring back this look and style of basketball game. It would be neat to see new retro video games in this style and vein. People in the stands look like real people. How many retro games mess that up? We paid five dollars for NBA Live 98, and it was worth every penny.
