What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"True to their nature, EA Sports has created another title for the PS2 which delivers detailed graphics and sound, absorbing the gamer into the pseudo reality of video game sports."
"Coaches will lose their cool at bad calls, or to implore players (short of choking them, of course), moves like turn-arounds, drop steps, up and under moves, etc. are all within your game, and benches and crowds come alive during the game's needed moments."
"...NBA Live 2001 is a solid if unspectacular start for EA Sports' next-gen hoops. Fans of the series will be genuinely pleased. But compared to what Visual Concepts is doing with the NBA 2K games, Live has a long way to go before it makes it to the Finals."
"NBA Live 2001 simply comes off as a game rushed to the shelves to meet the release date... If you’re looking for a good looking basketball game, settle for the slightly less aesthetically pleasing, but much more enjoyable NBA 2K1."
"...the game looks like a more polished version of the PC Live series. However, the faces look better than anything we've seen so far..."
