Item Description
Before franchise modes and downloadable rosters, building your own player was the hook, and NBA Live 97 on the Super Nintendo takes it seriously. Its create-a-player tool lets you shape a prospect in real detail, then drop him onto an NBA team or stack an entire custom team of your own creations. If you would rather go straight to the stars, squads made up of the East and West All-Stars are ready to pick alongside every NBA franchise.
Underneath the roster tools is a more strategic game of basketball than the arcade crowd was playing. EA packed in more than 60 offensive sets and 10 defensive set-ups, so calling a play actually changes how your five move on the floor, and matches run as exhibition games, a full season or straight into the playoffs. The 16-bit version keeps the series' angled, sprite-based court and full five-on-five flow, and a second player can join for head-to-head games on the couch.
Mitch Richmond of the Sacramento Kings is on the cover, and the timing gives this cartridge an interesting place in EA Sports history. The series was moving into 3D on PlayStation and PC, while the Super Nintendo edition carried on the traditional sprite-driven style that made NBA Live a hit in the first place. On the SNES it is a late-era refinement of that formula, and a satisfying way to replay mid-'90s NBA basketball on the console where many players first learned the series.
