I got this game on eBay after having played NBA Live '98. The graphics, first of all, are WAY better now, and so is the gameplay. NBA Live '98 was good, but this is even better. The 1-on-1 was a big reason why I purchased this, and it's a good mode. It's cool to see some of your favorite players going head-to-head in a dunking contest, like MJ vs. Wilt Chamberlain. The Create-A-Player mode is great too...I've made a couple so far. The Import Face feature is extremely nice, though a good photo must be had first...mine is a mixed blue color, because of shadows and bad lighting. One thing you can do for modern players is go to the NBA site or whatever, get that player's mug shot, and then put it into Face Import...I did that for Linas Kleiza, one of Mizzou's best centers who's now with the Nuggets. Franchise mode is sweet. I'm doing the Houston Rockets right now, and I'm undefeated (I think at least 10-0, maybe more). The uniforms are WAY better now than in NBA Live '98; have you seen the Rockets uniforms for NBA Live 98? They're horrible! Now in Live 2000 they're an awesome blue and red color, very good for the eyes. Lastly, the commentary and replay feature. I kinda like NBA Live '98's commentary better; Vern Lendquist is one of the greats. This Don guy and Reggie Theis are okay, but not as good I don't think. As for replay, 2000 is AWESOME. The different camera angles and the focus on the player is just superb. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend getting NBA Live 2000 if you have a nominall system computer. My laptop's a 266, so not exactly the best in the world. It plays NBA Live 2000 fine.
The Good: -Groundbreaking graphics for its time. I couldn't get enough of how great it looked compared to NBA Live 98, which was my previous game. -I fell in love with the franchise mode. I loved seeing my players prog... Read Full Review
