Larry Bird didn't wear short shorts for all those years for basketball to become like this....
The gameplay isn't remotely anywhere near the level you would expect a professional game to be at. EA needs to be stopped, as their monopoly on PC NBA games has caused them to lay fresh brown coils in our laps, and call them NBA Live games. This is the worst, worst, worst, gameplay in a basketball game I've ever had to endure. WAY too many bugs, glitches, and hax by the CPU. Even with stamina on, they don't ever sub their players, and their point guards will continually drive down the lane, shoot a layup, and either make it or draw a foul. They will finish with an inordinate amount of points in every game. It borders on being we-todd-ed. NBA Live 95 for SNES handles better. The game is graphically incompetent, as well, as EA is trying to milk every cent out of their games by keeping the spec requirements on their PC sports titles low. We deserve next gen, too. I really, really wish I had not wasted the money on this game, because it has little redeeming value outside of the updated rosters and decent soundtrack. If you absolutely MUST have a PC nba game, this is your only option, but if you can opt for a console version, you'll be a little less unhappy with your purchase. You've been warned....buy at own risk...
