NBA Live 97 - Pause Menu Music

[@TheROC13]

This was called “Paradigm Shift” in the music options back in the day. Never forgot it. I used to go to the options screen and just loop this and fall asleep in my bedroom as a kid.

[@coloradoslasthope1608]

TheROC13 I'm doing that shit now as a matter of fact!!!!! 😂😂😉👍

[@mychal92116]

I used to do my slam dunk replays to this song. Haha. My dunks in the game. Not IRL 😂

[@retrokev6862]

Me too bro... Sure missed those days

[@terencet.taylor3274]

Thanks for the information! 👍🏾

[@reggiemars2k8]

Me too senor.

[@Jerrel28]

I still pop this in every now and then just to listen to this. I used to love scrolling through the rosters with this playing.

[@DatOneGuy901]

this is still my favorite menu music from any basketball gm.

[@Kingbossdon]

Also like live 95 opinions menu

[@jbreezy6784]

Mines

[@bobbydigital4219]

[@Coldest352]

The greatest menu pause screen jam

[@NYKgjl10]

Best basketball music in VG history. I love it and thats when EA knows how to put excellent soundtracks in the 90's era

[@mychal92116]

I used to pause the game just to listen to this. Im bout to download this and put it on loop as I work... 21yrs later..

[@Jabal.]

I did exactly the same, just pause the game to listen

[@ianmcck304]

Now 23 ..Jordan!

[@Marc_Masters]

He never like NBA live

[@damondudley3931]

And we still here!!

[@Mellodious47]

Bruh I'm getting goosebumps just off the nostalgia 😭🔥👌🏾

[@damondudley3931]

Throwback! So many memories with this classic instrumentals!

[@LarryPiznoTn]

This was easily my favorite song on this game, back in my 90's PC gaming days! I even have this as a ringtone (don't judge me lol). Thank you for the memories!

[@Marc_Masters]

Ringtone for what phone if I may ask?

[@LarryPiznoTn]

Mark Masters iPhone

[@southbeachtalent]

I love it! I just know I couldn't do it personally. I hate getting phone calls so I don't want it to spoil this beautiful song

[@MarcMillen21]

NBA Live Orchestra is undefeated

[@REXX-STRONGSTYLE]

it's the cool facts music. this music always reminds me of rookie Kobe Bryant wearing the Charlotte Hornets hat at the 96 NBA draft there's a picture of him on the game in the coolfacts area

[@NBALiveSeriesCenter]

That's right, it's used there as well. Cool Facts were fun, though they'd probably be redundant in today's games.

[@REXX-STRONGSTYLE]

NLSC I disagree I love cool facts we need more historic facts about players

[@NBALiveSeriesCenter]

Redundant in so much as facts and trivia are so readily accessible with the click of a button or tap of a touchscreen. That's not to say they shouldn't come back of course, because they'd be a fun little addition and a nice throwback. Not sure EA or 2K would do it, but it'd be cool if they did...especially with all the historic players in the games these days.

[@REXX-STRONGSTYLE]

NLSC I would sit there and listen to every single player cool facts back in the day me and my friends would I've learned so much about guys like Pete chilcutt and the background of Mookie Blaylock LOL guys you would never see getting any kind of TV time on NBC

[@NBALiveSeriesCenter]

Think we all did that back in the day! Also, you know you were an NBA fan in the 90s when you can remember names like Pete Chilcutt, Marty Conlon, and Gary Grant!

[@brianflowers9588]

I remember this song on 97 vaguely but it was a hidden track on 2000. I loved this track

[@Roksanka2007]

In 1997 - I 17 years old, now 42 and still im listening this track...awsome🥰

[@von2300]

this really brings me back. I got my first Playstation back in 96. This was one of my first titles I bought with it. I used to love pausing because of this track.

[@reggiemars2k8]

Same here.

[@reggiemars2k8]

Same here. This and Resident Evil: DC.

[@sanghokim5247]

I love this music!

[@jdm2339]

[@santanah.6897]

[@DJWtheKILLER2010]

I just brought this game yesterday at Gamexchange & when I first heard this shit I thought it was lit!

[@reggiemars2k8]

Good memories. This was the first NBA Live game I bought. I loved my PS One. Best system I ever owned.

[@EmjayLapus]

I can already imagine Robin Roberts delivering trivial facts about each player.

[@MoKone5]

Real 90s sound, loved this game.

[@SJSWizard]

Such a great time to be alive.

[@terencet.taylor3274]

Fascinating music, feel the taste...

[@von2300]

[@REXX-STRONGSTYLE]

are used to have the code for the street court on this game I used to create players and and make believe it was Hardcore basketball on the streets LOL the good old days of my youth

[@Jabal.]

This was my favorite one of the game, i remember waiting for the 2:36 time which made me really feeling the music

[@kid9806]

Yes!!!! There is that song!!!

[@TJthunderstrike]

Live 97 through 99 had the best tracks.

[@shimatetsuo2019]

I love this. Very smooth and chill. Oh, and the Bulls are pretty much unstoppable in this game- just like they were in ‘96-‘97.

[@roelsantosjr5593]

Such an awesome sound!

[@brianflowers9588]

I just got a chill for clicking this

[@BeaMode1990]

Player cards. 😍

[@stephengavin2208]

After 24 years I finally found this.

[@jakubpytko5551]

Awesome music. :]

[@kedrickreed5600]

very smooth instrumental

[@thomastripp9002]

This is the jam!!!! Easily my favorite song from Live 97!!

[@bballNeverEnds]

The beginning of this song sounds so similar to the start up sound effect from PlayStation 2. 🤯🤯🤯

[@lesslistenedaudios77]

Very nice track! This oddly reminds me of The Legend of Dragoon pause screen music.

[@Mike-rf3kl]

This. Is so cool.I'd like this sound for my text message alerts its a bad ass piece of music

[@stephengavin2208]

Shout out to mitch richmond.

[@harveyn318]

[@nbalive97intros24]

[@Marc_Masters]

The feeling when the Playstation screen pulls up!

[@rboone88rb]

This that shit that make you pause the game, tell ya lady to come here for 3:31 of nasty time, then get right back to the game.

[@Mike-rf3kl]

This f n rocks I'm making it my message alerts theme for my phone

[@Levrifon]

Funny its sounds like the Playstation 2 menu startup sound !

[@darrylcalhoun6315]

Sounds like some kinda of wwe theme music lol
