SHOOTING EVOLUTION in BASKETBALL VIDEO GAMES [1974 - 2024]

[@diegogatti7397]

NBA Jam still a banger

[@Jarrygames86]

Always will be. That game has legendary status.

[@Michael_Chandler_Keaton]

For sure.

[@pingamalinga]

Lol Starks for 3! Yes!!

[@tiderbean]

It was the absolute best

[@kudzem]

I’ve come to the comments to see this

[@messiahshow]

Double Dribble was so good I remember the Christmas I got it and played versus my uncle. What a great game it was and what beautiful times to experience as a kid.

[@jashanestone]

Exactly. Like Tecmo Bowl. We are the uncle's of this evolution 😂😂😂😂

[@jeremydavis340.]

It was awesome. We always used to make fun of how it sounded like "Double Ribble" 🤣

[@detroitpolak9904]

I’d love to know how many hours I logged between that and Blades Of Steel.

[@messiahshow]

@@detroitpolak9904 That was another banger of a game.

[@detroitpolak9904]

@@messiahshow unfortunately I think my total hours for those two games far exceeded my hours logged for homework LOL.

[@Gizzmo6741]

NBA 2K on DreamCast revolutionized basketball gameplay for me as a child !

[@metal--babble346]

When Double Dribble showed up on the NES... everyone had to step up their basketball game development.

[@KennelGuyTries]

I'm not a basketball fan, but I played the heck out of Double Dribble. That was a fun game. That and Dr. J vs Larry Bird. Loved breaking the backboard on a dunk. That was epic back in the day.

[@rh8560]

I miss the days of having so many different options ,now it's just Madden and NBA 2k

[@DosantoLopez]

Do u remember NBA live?

[@jaysilva5854]

True but sports games early days cost less than 100 thousand to develop now its 100 million. Even for the love of basketball, it's not worth it. Also, to license an NBA game now costs 200 million/ year. Blame the NBA.

[@Liam123-r8o]

0:10 best game of all time 😂

[@shawbrothers18]

NBA live sucked though lol

[@combatspeed6392]

@@shawbrothers18nba live was great through the 90s until about 2002.

[@daowonimdee]

NBA Live from 95-2007. So many great memories.

[@dadisajo9]

Yep the downfall must be studied it was superior to 2k after 2007 Live vanished

[@GatorDontPlayNoShT]

Its not even close. What we have now is inferior in every way ​@dadisajo9

[@VanillaGamingCo]

Double Dribble back in the day had dunks closeups. That was next level at the time. Good memories.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Heck even cutscenes of the player Taking a dunk.

[@simonbelmont548]

Nba street also fun.

[@donf4227]

It's hard to express how fun NBA Jam was when it originally came out. Similar with NHL 94, FIFA 98, and Madden back in 90s. Arcade-style sports games of the 90s weren't the most realistic, but incredibly fun.

[@diegogatti7397]

i still love the arcade style concept, it isnt hyper realistic but its very funny to play

[@diamondthree]

Wow another NHL '94 player, wild! And yea, SNES NBA Jam was amazing, especially all the secret characters. I remember playing as Bill Clinton lmao

[@diegogatti7397]

@@diamondthree yeah, the bill clinton feature was outstanding, imagine today let mr biden or mr trump play the game XD XD

[@Dalmatinac3]

The 1990s games actually feel like video games, and are so much fun. Have more fun with those than the current 2k games.

[@spiegeltn]

Double Dribble for Nintendo and NBA Jam with the "boom shakalaka, he's on fire 🔥!" ,were the two I played and remember most from back in the day.

[@therobot7254]

Those games were just good games. Everything was about creating the best game possible. These days its only about money. Games are rigged, because everybody needs to win. In game purchases are through the roof. I can't find games I like anymore. It's all the same shit.

[@taylormade5920]

@@therobot7254 I agree with that. Great graphics but trash games nowadays

[@kjo8970]

I really wish they would make a Barkley shut up and jam except I know micro transactions would ruin it... Not to mention I bet they would make it Draymond shut up and jam too...

[@foxskyful]

Na, you were just a kid nostalgia something you can't experience the same anymore as adult

[@VGE]

In this new video, we present the evolution of shooting mechanics in basketball games since 1974. This is an exhaustive list; if any games are missing, please feel free to mention them in the comments. Enjoy, thanks.

[@Helenacosta-q5b]

Yes

[@Даздравствуетпобеда88]

А где Slam 'N Jam 95 от Panasonic 3DO?

[@michaelholmes1919]

NBA Jam changed everything when it was released. Thanks for showing Iverson tons of respect in the video too.

[@dsb8283]

So many good memories! I loved Run and Gun, NBA Jam and NBA Live 95 - the action/spectacle, camera angles and solid gameplay. So much competition from the different publishers made basketball games force new ideas and concepts to be generated. Now we have NBA 2K for what that's worth

[@travisthompson3776]

This is amazing! A lot of flashbacks and games I completely forgot about. How did you even come up with all of these?!?

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Atari got their first basketball game right.😂

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Atari basketball tho.😂 Dang they got it right.

[@darkzak47]

Dr. J and Larry Bird was such an awesome game! I remember you could shatter the backboard and then the guy that would come out to sweep it up would yell at you

[@BenvolioCapulet9]

I loved this game!!!

[@IGGY_Nuggz]

lol. I just wrote nearly the same thing. I forgot about the cleanup guy. 😂

[@NK-fv3vz]

and his moustache wiggled as he swept. hahah

[@CoqueTornado]

I really liked the music of the master system one, sounds like a videogame and it looks like a fun casual game, great basketball!

[@ungerkong]

We used to have so many options. Sports games are monopolized these days. It looks like we peaked around 2007. Everything since then has just been refinments. It’s funny seeing all the NBA Jam ripoffs.

[@mericaloretti]

There's only one NBA game now the 2k series which has been the same without much advancements since almost 10 years now. Not even worth buying it anymore

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Give the first one's credit they tried.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Like how Atari got their first basketball Game right.😂 Dang Atari stepping on toes early.

[@eagl3ye]

I think it’s garbage how monopolized it is. Where’s the incentive to make improvements when you have zero competition?

[@CoqueTornado]

true!

[@jamillie87]

Had “0” idea most of these ever existed that Scottie pippen one looks like a movie this compilation is epic ❤

[@justsomethingtothinkabout8515]

Hoops in the 80’s and NBA Jam in the 90’s was my ones though… “From downtown… boom-shakalaka!” As you shatter the backboard with Shaq🤣

[@diegogatti7397]

yeah bro!

[@PSUIVERSON]

My entire life flashing before my eyes. Awesome.

[@michaelhaysbert703]

Coach K changed everything! We loved breaking the backboard 2nd half.Live 94 was lit even without Jordan, Sprewell filled his shoes. Live 95 was the first game you could create your player and as a bonus you could add rookies and old school players already created by putting their name in. This probably my all time favorite game.

[@parallaxview2143]

I'd completely forgotten how blown away I was with NBA Live 96 and it's graphics.

[@MichiganMan923]

Man the David Robinson and the Coach K bring back memories. So many classics

[@gstringalation]

@@MichiganMan923 I didn’t see coach k on there….I clearly loved that…first game with the throwback teams

[@Slavic_Slavage]

I always thought the pinnacle of basketball games was NBA street back in the early 2000s

[@stephanhart9941]

Live was the first basketball VG that I ever felt truly invested in. Actually replicating the NBA players' stats and skills was addictive AF.

[@OGSyxxDuece]

I swear seeing all these games brings back memories of a much simpler time than this. I use to have some of them on Sega Genesis. Especially NBA Jam, Barkley's shut up and jam, College Slam, NBA Live 95, Vitale's Awesome Baby! College hoops. I even played most of them in the arcades and consoles.

[@grandmastermario3695]

I play basketball in real life, i find that it helps me a little in basketball video games with the strategies.

[@b.r727]

incredible video, please games WWF,WCW, WWE

[@royalsteven]

NBA Jam, NBA Hangtime, Street Hoop, NBA Street (Showdown), NBA Live 98/99/01/03/06, Virtua NBA, NBA 2K3, ESPN College Hoops, Basketball Showdown, Basketball Stars, NBA Basketball 2000, 2 VS 2 Basketball Sports, Basketball Arena, Basketball Tournament, College Slam, Super Slam, Hoops '96, NBA Pro Hoops, NBA Showtime, Arch Rivals and Jammit.....are my favorite basketball videogames.

[@jeddis92]

Why is there a screenshot for Pat Riley's Basketball for 1974 in the thumbnail?

[@Megalocade]

Street Slam or Street Hoop as we know it to be in Europe on the NeoGeo is still my favourite basketball game ever, you need a bit of fantasy in your games and this just does it for me just the way they slam the ball through the hoop with all the effects and sounds is awesome, such a great game.

Nothing significant has changed since 2003.

[@IGGY_Nuggz]

The Dr. J and Larry Bird game was awesome. Shattering the glass on a dunk. It was a fun game, especially for the C64. Good times as a child.

[@adrianz363]

Missing is the very popular NES console Nekketsu! Street Basket: Ganbare Dunk Heroes, released in 1993. In my opinion one of the best basketball games for the NES.

[@trentrandle]

Some of these look amazing.

[@xmoose9]

I found my childhood favorite College Slam ‘96 ❤ it was very fun, you could fly off screen before dunking and burning the net 🔥

[@taylormade5920]

This shows that the 90s were the best era for gaming. So much variety than now

[@704JGGaming]

im 38 and didn't kno there were this many basketball games...my 1st basketball game was bulls vs trailblazer 1992 5:08.....back when videogame companies actually had to compete for our dollar

Happy to see here my first basketball videogame ever: David Robinson's Supreme Court. It had avannced graphics and gameplay for that era.

[@Kevo1993]

Double Dribble is definitely an all time classic!!!

[@DiscipleRepertoire_]

Once NBA 2k7 dropped, they really took over completely. Their gameplay and graphics started creating distance from the competition

[@ismaeljrp1]

They did, although for me 2K5 on Xbox had already surpassed Live.

[@DrDangerNerd]

I used to love to play ‘Arch Rivals’ at the arcade against total strangers.

[@MrVomora]

NBA Showdown was my childhood! I'm going to have to buy a Super Nintendo and get that game again.

[@tm0054]

Am I crazy or does that look too good to be the C64 version of TV Sports Basketball? I'd swear that was the Amiga or MS Dos VGA version. Man I played most of these games, good memories.

[@mattp733i]

Konami's Double Dribble was way ahead of its time!

[@TitoBobbyPh]

Live was my fav bball game until 2k 09 the animation on 2k 09 was then spot on and looked similar to the real players. And for years lives game play sucks you’re sometimes being screened by your own teammates when defending from an opposing fast break. I never returned to nba live

[@LaQuantayviondreTrollinDaWorld]

That game at 6:03 Run And Gun looks sick

[@timburr4453]

Arch Rivals looked so good for its time

[@Rufusblade]

[@bluestripetiger]

Double Dribble was legendary in my house. Another great game was Lakers VS Celtics and the NBA Playoffs. TV Sports football and basketball were both great games for their time but I believe they were pc only at the time. Pat Riley Basketball could have been basketball's Madden if the brand had been handled correctly. It was ahead of its time. One final mention-any sports game made by Tecmo back then was worth checking out.

[@sabbathtribute]

Things have gotten so realistic now, it's ridiculous. I still enjoy video games that look like video games

[@2BRO2B_jc]
