Fun even for how old it is.

User Rating: 7.5 | NBA Live 2001 PC
I found this game stored, when I was cleaning and decided to install and play it even though I have Live 08. For 2001 the options and gameplay are good. The game isn't a run and gun as players can post. The different modes are fun, like 1 on 1 and season. Graphics though can be really ugly and polygonal, but for some reason it can be decent and good which is strange for how much the game changes from bad to good. The main reason for playing this game though was for seeing the old rosters and players who have retired now. The announcing is lowly for todays standards, but do keep it fresh. Season mode is fun with the fantasy draft, and seeing old players like Ewing, Reggie Miller, Stockton, Molone and Zach Day is fun. Gameplay wise the AI is smart and knows when to shoot a 3 in clutch situations. The key-board controls are weird with using c,f,v and spacebar to move instead of wsad. A custom controls seem manditory as default doesn't have turbo, stealling or posting assigned. There needs play calling, but its still fun so if you can find it for $2 on ebay you should get it.
