Sports reviews of NBA Live 2001
Customer Review: Best ever.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'm a huge fan of the series, so it was with baited breath that I awaited this much-postponed release. So far, it hasn't disappointed me. Graphics: Amazing. Simply put, the best graphics of any PC game I have ever seen. IF you have the horsepower to run them... Control: Very good. I do think the players move about a little too quickly, without as much mass as they did in '2000, but the best out there. Sound: Again, very solid if not very different from last year. Gameplay: Excellent. This is where this game shines, with its multiple modes of play, its extreme customizability and pretty well designed interface. With the franchise mode et al, this game has very strong replay value. God knows, I played Live 2000 for about 8 months straight!Caveat Emptor: To run this game as it should be played (at least 1024x768 resolution), with all the graphical bells and whistles on, you need some serious computing power. My PIII 600 with GeForce2 GTS and 256 RAM are not enough to run it smoothly with ALL the details on Maximum at anything above 800x600. It's playable at 1024 and 1280, you just have to tinker with the details.
Description of NBA Live 2001
EA's NBA Live series is nothing if not consistent. Superb graphics, thrilling animations, and real TV-style power basketball are what it delivers. Realism and statistical accuracy are important, but often fall by the wayside in favor of presentation. In short, NBA Live has always been a bit lazy with the fundamentals, but then again, so is the NBA in general.However, the NBA Live series has consistently delivered a whole lot of fun, and NBA Live 2001 is no exception. Every NBA player is modeled and rendered in the game, including many basketball legends. This means you can play as or against basketball greats such as Magic, Dr. J, Wilt Chamberlain, and Abdul-Jabbar. Every NBA team is here, every court is rendered, and you have several cool options at your fingertips.
You can play a straight-up NBA season, exhibition game, or playoffs. You can play the 1999 Lakers vs. the 1984 Lakers if you wish. See if Shaq and Kobe have a prayer against Magic and Jabbar. You can also play one-on-one up to three-on-three on a blacktop half court. You can relive the video game magic that was the classic 1-on-1: Jordan vs. Bird, or, for even older readers, 1-on-1: Dr. J vs. Bird. Multiplayer options make this even more fun for some rousing two-on-two action on the court.
The controls are fluid and easy to learn, making for surprisingly accurate basketball action, but you'll need a gamepad with as many buttons as possible to take advantage of all of Live's moves. There are four difficulty modes, so you'll find a challenge every time you play. Whether you're a hard-core or only casual hoops fan, NBA Live 2001 is sure to impress and keep you dunking all season long. --Bob Andrews

Soar high above the rim with NBA Live 2001, the seventh edition of EA Sports' ultrarealistic basketball game. The game features new player reactions, bench sequences, redesigned commentary, and a realistic stadium environment where people in the crowd stand up, cheer, and show their homemade signs for the camera. The game also links to an Internet community where players can be matched up for easier-to-use online competition. Also, NBA Live 2001's enhanced franchise mode allows you to execute trades with up to three teams and 15 players.
