Video Game Reviews of NBA Live 2000
Customer Review: I Love this Game! ...
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't bought an NBA EA Sports game for a couple of years now and was blown away by this game. The graphics engine is awesome, down to the detailed crowd animation. I like it when the crowd gets into it as your game gets more and more exciting. However, the crowd still does not go berserk if you win a thriller at the end. And EA Sports, how about adding those crowd waving "foam distractions" when players are taking free throws?The inclusion of the Jordan feature is a true bonus and the ability to play historic teams is engaging. However, the game gets really easy real quick. You can put up a boat load of points with any team (think Clippers and Bulls) even in their current incarnations.
But still fun!

Having not played the NBA Live series in a few years, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the depth that exists in the 2K version. At <$20 this game is a steal. Grab a copy now...Customer Review: Stunning gameplay

NBA Live 2000 is the best effort to date. There are two primary reasons for this statement: 1) Michael Jordan; and 2) You can get in the game. The Jordan feature is huge. How many of us spent time creating players with his specs and name in previous editions? I don't know what EA did to get him to participate, but thank you!
Another new feature is that you can literally get into the game. You can upload a scanned image of your face and create a player in your likeness. It's not a perfect representation, but it's pretty close and makes for some added fun. The next logical step is to enable the announcers to speak your name. Hearing, "#99 is a consistent shooter" just isn't as fun as hearing my name, but oh well.
The graphics and gameplay are amazing. There's a lot of added emotion and it plays more like a real NBA game. More fouls are called, the defenses switch correctly, opposing teams make better decisions, the dominant players dominate, teams streak and go through dry spells and the benches perform well. Some of the likenesses are actually really darn close as well. Great soundtrack too. Rahzel rules!
The only drawback to the game is the ability to rack up an unrealistic ammount of points. I had 103 points 8 minutes into the 3rd quarter in one game and was leading by 40. This has always hounded EA and it's likely just part of the game one has to learn to accept, but it's disappointing to see my entire team leading the league in almost all statistics. Other nitpicks include the ease of blocking shots, breakaway dunks that turn into jumpers under the basket and the inability to handle play behind the backboard gracefully. Lastly, Reggie Theus just spews the same three phrases game in and game out.
However, NBA Live 2000 is still an action-packed, visually stunning game that is a blast to play. I never grow tired of it and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes basketball and sports games.

Halleluyah! EA Sports finally broke down and gave us some alltime teams. They even added Micheal Jordan. Now we can watch Jerry West go up against Allen Iverson in the regular season or the 90's Bulls take on the 60's Celtics in the NBA finals. Wait a minute. You say you can only access the alltime greats in exhibition mode? Whats the point of having the all time greats play if it doesn't count? Why wouldn't EA Sports....Ah crap.
