NBA LIVE evolution [1995 - 2019]

The evolution of NBA Live games from NBA LIVE 95 released in 1994 on SNES to NBA LIVE 19 on PS4/XBOX ONE.

[@JayBarty]

2003 was groundbreaking and so much fun at the time. Having all those dribbling moves on the right stick was a brand new concept that year.

[@BMI007]

That one was my favorite

[@deancharlie]

i remember those rainy days playing NBA live 2003 on LAN with my buddies on a local computer shop after school...i miss those simple days,no problems no commitments just pure fun

[@fredbjamz4956]

Pippen jumped over the whole goal 😂😂

[@crowns9966]

Nasir Aameen Dude that cracked me up hard loool

[@RioTheProphet]

Lmaooooo word. He got ups

[@renman31680rd]

I had to watch it again Lol

[@reddfoxx212]

Bru he was at least 50th feet 😂😂

[@fredbjamz4956]

Redd Foxx 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@Noah-sr2ug]

The transition from NBA Live 2000 to NBA Live 2001 is amazing.

[@misakiyoshida]

The frame rate in 2000 was ass

[@bumblebity2902]

It should use PC port

[@kevinchavis2755]

The transition from NBA Live 2005 for PS2 to Live 2006 for Xbox360 was even more amazing

[@thee_morpheus]

No NBA soundtrack game will EVER match the mid to late 90s/2000-2001 Traz Damji tracks. So soulful and captures the spirit of the period.

[@D0ntTaseM3Br0]

NBA Live 97 and 98 were freaking awesome.

[@youutoobe]

0:38 Stockton backcourt violation lol

[@kl2389]

0:36 that push by Stockton was brutal.

[@k.baller5140]

You could do that all day with live 97-98 and score 100-2

[@JabrenHarris98]

What I liked about NBA live 03 was that u could hit floaters from beyond 3point line while sprinting but it only works when you're near the 3point line

[@enrique8292]

Jabren Harris yeah live 03 was the shit

[@AwakenedAvocado]

I hit floaters every day in my toilet

[@euphoria9011]

1:05 don't act like that ain't the coldest dunk in all of NBA video game history.

[@EthanBradburyVlogs]

Dudes head was over the backboard

[@lebronjames1653]

That dunk to fake

[@famofks]

Direct dunk button lol

[@Marley11st]

lol snatchin money off the top of the backboard.

[@VGSNetwork]

ikr

[@nikconlenike7637]

4:27 someone in the crowd screams FBI OPEN UP

[@420dolarek]

The vault dweller LMAO

[@swooshgamer6372]

Lol

[@Born2Win7774]

I like how pippen's whole body jumped over the rim😂🤣💪🏾

[@w.davidholland7228]

Over the shot clock

[@tonistark33]

Player 99= Michael Jordan

[@VGE]

yes

[@siqaraminmassaquoi1999]

Why could they never use him until later games?

[@tonistark33]

Siqaramin Massaquoi couldn’t afford him

[@delconagher12]

MJ was his usual self (dick). He wants to get paid more which was bad for the fans because he was the only player not to be in the most popular basketball game during that time. I didn't care anyway because I had Kobe.

[@ebonstallworth1070]

Worst live especially since 97 player 23 Jordan was nasty I used to have classic battles vs my bro n law on PS1 vs his Pacers

[@christianheartbeat9569]

NBA LIVE 2006 is my Favorite Nba Live as of yet.

[@trespuntos7116]

Winstudio Yap u right With steve nash i was the Killer every Jump Shot was Money

[@Mikey-yw5eq]

1:11 he jump about 10 foot

[@wilyounghusband5267]

0:49 that Stockton move was ahead of its time

[@Gdrisss]

That Kyrie sequence in live 16 was crazy

[@terrytaylor1928]

Ive played every nba live that ever came out and will be getting live 19 this friday! Been a fan since day one.thru the good times and the bad.

[@slizzmo]

Man Live 95 is one of my all time favs. Easily put in 200 plus hours into that game.

[@finisher3x]

That's because back then, it was the most realistic basketball game from a pace of play. It was a huge leap from Bulls vs Blazers.

[@Hulkamaniac418]

Remember when Jordan was never in the games? He was like “Player” or something

[@matrixphijr]

Roster Player, yep.

[@Skippy-id9yt]

And barkley also except shutup and jam on mega drive / genesis

[@marcusforde1289]

Why is that?

[@QuackMamba34]

Barry Bonds was also never in the MLB games

[@blasterdark3179]

3:30 and turn on caption LOL

[@lamar-kingram6338]

Oh what a penis!!!

[@lamontdavis117]

Wow, times have definitely changed, i remember those days rocking out. Playing NBA live, with those leggo -like ballers.

[@IMzKDC23]

I loved how NBA Live 08 allowed you to add legends to current teams... Also hoped they kept Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy as commentators for 19.. Maybe add Mark Jackson too.

[@MrSanJose420]

Great post..I remember LIVE from back in the day... I m all in..

[@Humtuer2]

Love the Live Series. My NBA Live games are 16, 18, 09, 10, 15, 03 & 02. Haven’t played 19 plan on getting God Willing soon. Elite 11 had promise too bad it got cancelled. This a great trip down memory lane thanks.

[@beemomusic]

B Hicks i had every live from 95-2010...been playing 2k since but just jumped ship back to live19...I’m tired of the VC system with 2k

[@mikedegracias8616]

Marv Albert's voice from 2004 till now.. The best nba commentator.

[@neilyaremchuk6798]

Mike de Gracias “3:56, the Knicks uuupp by six.” “Ewing, yesss!” “Jackson for three, yesss!”

[@Rezzworks]

I stopped playing Live in 2001, when I had Iverson on a fastbreak, nobody in front of him, easy 2, when all of the sudden, Mutombo comes out of nowhere to take the charge.

[@feelinglikeaceowithqueenal8019]

lol

[@brian_the_person]

NBA Live 09 was my first ever basketball videogame. Had a lot of memories growing up with that one.

[@AlmostPigeon]

Keep uploading dude I love your vids

[@sentelnbalivebolton7399]

The best video I've ever seen in my life

[@MylePH]

7:52 Stephen curry ankle breaker

[@chicosworld]

I remember before it was even called NBA Live ....back in the early 90s when sega genesis was out and it was called whatever 2 teams that made it to the finals the previous yr...(Lakers vs Celtics,.. Bulls vs Lakers...Bulls vs Blazers....etc)....side note...who remember the NCAA game called Coack K on ea ...classic and they had a USA basketball game with the foreign teams on it💯

[@grunt2130]

I had the lakers vs celtics one and the bulls vs the blazer one also on sega great memories

[@demiyugi5789]

😂😂😂lmao

[@tafarikhalil7249]

earlando salazar I bought Primetime football for the Sega 🔥 shit took me back to bad grades and sleepovers 😂😂

[@DannyMartinez33]

earlando salazar I remember that dream team game. Always wanted to rent it from blockbuster but never got the chance

[@bigman72511]

I had lakers vs bulls. I traded for Dee Brown and Shawn Kemp on the Lakers. I had nothing but Dunkers and 3 point shooters. End the game with 130 plus points.

[@jjhaase]

Before any of this it was Lakers vs Celtics and the NBA Playoffs

[@Mr_Green1017]

i still have that game lol

[@JohnnSuede]

Don’t forget about bulls vs blazers and the nba playoffs

[@rubski-ds9yc]

And dont forget the dream team and nba showdown.

[@onilara4602]

Omg the first couple NBA live brings backs so much memories

[@eddieb2235]

95 was my favorite. Played that game all day and night!

[@trumpameri1638]

Hahaha I play Sega mega and live 95,96 all day and night no stop.. knowing all statistics in my head.. in that time everything was original name's, statistics, overall rating.. completely best games for sure

[@81sexislim]

I feel old cuz I had and played every last one one these damn! Time flys

[@JayTeeAyy]

I love 15 and 16, never got the love it deserved, they played really well

[@MultiKushie]

I thought 18 did too

[@roastbeafman87]

3:15 why is the commentary in Live '06 the exact same commentary as what we have in the 2K games today...?

[@itzlevelz]

On 96 live on Sega genesis if u go to create a player and enter the players name (i.e. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, etc, it will add that player and all their stats to the game automatically)

[@franklinsmith2987]

I remember dat.....good old days

[@uglyn6a]

For magic Johnson, you have to put magic Johnson, not Earvin haha, that was always Comedy to me

[@dmkelly219]

💯

[@franklinsmith2987]

It wasnt about graphics back then it was about gameplay and how fun it is we neva complained about graphics hrs and hrs no sleep on dat game I no I did lol

[@MoveInSilence23]

Super Nintendo did that too.

[@linkercasas]

I remember I could do free throw line dunks with Vlade Divac on “Bulls vs Blazers” and NBA live 95😆

[@JJ-nl8vc]

Yep even with bill Cartwright lol

[@ddubbwhite]

Vlade divac lmao

[@OtherBarry4908]

live 06 is when it went downhill. 10 is where live was getting better, but after that ,they screwed up and ditch the foundation that mike wang left with live 10.

[@dennislamar5855]

Live 03 was hands down one of the best

[@kingkongbrodiejohnson3954]

Sega Genesis all I see when it comes to the early days of NBA Live..💯💯

[@Nati-xk1tt]

Congratulations for 100k subs

[@robjones4555]

boy we came a long way

[@Aguz25]

I enjoyed 95 for Genesis, 2001 and 2002 for PS1 but the best Live! ever was 2005, great gameplay.

[@briancromartie3149]

NBA live '97 for PlayStation was 🔥🔥 TBS & TNT Scoreboard layout. Jordan's likeness wasn't in the game, but #24 for the Bulls was him. 😂

[@mcmc4095]

Commentary is very good as well as the in game sound effects

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

R.I.P Kobe and all the other victims.

[@channingbanks5786]

95' and 03' were the best 🔥🔥🔥!!!

[@cringycontent5052]

NBA live 10 is one of the best basketball games ever idc

[@so3252]

I thought it was just me I couldn't agree more

[@TheAceKannon]

Bro 10 was so good, it's the most under rated live game

[@gforce55510]

I agree

[@toocoldgreedy9465]

It was way better than 2k10 that’s forsure.

[@runitup5021]

Cringy Content I swear

[@justinraynes1043]

That Pippen dunk was crazy but what was even more impressive than the dunk is the fact that Jeff Hornacek has his head above the rim on defense lmao

[@AwakenedAvocado]

And also that pippen jumped higher than the entire height of the backboard

[@sentelnbalivebolton7399]

Beautiful video

[@Ultralightaman]

Man Live 95 and Coach K were great. NBA Live actually goes back to Lakers vs. Celtics was probably the first EA basketball game.

[@sickofguysnamedtodd2293]

Ultralightaman I loved the coach K game. Only wish they had Georgetown and Carolina but seeing that it’s Coach K, I can see why the Tar Heels weren’t in it

[@oges0938]

Nba Live 95 is better than Live 14

[@qgreen100]

that was the shit back in the day

[@wuliwei6939]

I played Live 95 until 2001. Basically the Live series went down hill after 2003

[@otisthekid]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bierwalker876]

95 was so lovely... With an incredible gameplay

[@AceticTWO]

@@qgreen100 Yeah back im the day tho today it's absolute dogshit in comparison

[@coryjarrett6242]

Brings back so many good memories of Live

[@reallife828]

The first ones were so much more fun to play then the later ones.

[@bostonceltics2691]

NBA LIVE 2003 WAS SO SMOOTH SHAQUILLE O'NEAL WAS A MONSTER IN THAT GAME AND IT BROUGHT THE SOUNDTRACK AS WELL 🔥

[@karonrichards1855]

Live 95 and 2005 were the best ever!

[@tmoney3550]

Damn so many good memories i racked with nba live from 95 to 2005 after that it was nothing but 2k.

[@menlove8333]

I used to love NBA live 95 on Sega Genesis When they star doing the starting line UPS

[@CYARA209]

[@geoortiz9787]

Love NBA live 00 05 06 07 08. Favorite cover Gilbert arenas.

[@IMzKDC23]

I also loved 08. Especially how you could add legends to current teams.

[@dagameplayer]

NBA Live had the best announcer. "ShAAAAA KIIIIIIIIIIILLLL OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEEEEEEEAAAAL.

[@infamousj-hkz8257]

*Safe to say Era 90s talk about HANG TIME LMAO*

[@kwilli0930]

NBA Live 04 was my favorite. I still have it for PS2!

[@so3252]

Live took a step back this year on 19, 18 was a lot of fun it just needed more animations

[@carltonth22]

Live 2005 was the truth then it went downhill from there.

[@blackstewiegriffin]

carltonth22 NBA 2K tookover around 2K8 but Live has been running this shit from the 90s to 2005-ish

[@vapaperboi]

I like 07

[@marcomancilla6457]

NBA live 2001 was my favorite b-ball game back in the day.

[@migueldraven1977]

Amazing evolution

[@idonothing7557]

For me personally Live 2000. I played it all day and night with my NYK and Kings!

[@tristanerojo2064]

I can still remember that in 95 you can only trade your starters lol.

[@bryant475]

Lmao, Stockton pushed Olajuwon like 10 feet away at 0:38 "Steal by Stockton"! Also, NBA Live 2003 was my favorite! I still play it to this day honestly :)

[@lilstackz6771]

Live 07 was my favorite live I use to go off with T-Mac

[@Sicnesses23]

NBA live 97 was the first basket ball game i ever played. have tried my best to buy one every year since then

[@monolithgeometry3221]

It's best on Sega Genesis! It's also best after having updated it to 97-98 rosters and pulling all them rookie phenoms out of school and throwing them on their teams. (Dirk, Tracy, Vince, Paul, Tim, Allen, etc)

[@NeoNitty]

I still have 96 for genesis. Still works too.

[@whyrobotslie8076]

[@bartphilips2222]

so much memories with 98. 18 and 19 were not a complete disaster tho. They should find their niche, just imagine a next gen NBA Street.

[@togetherart2034]

You can tell they used their NBA street series for a few of the earlier games .

[@oshanegriffiths8972]

The basketball court graphic was looked good since day one...

NBA LIVE 2005! Great gameplay and great soundtracks.

We've come a long way since 95.

They also made a few of these for DOS back in the day. Live 95, 96, and 97, the rest were on windows.
