Item Description

NBA Live 98 is where EA's basketball series said goodbye to the Super Nintendo. The fourth installment of NBA Live was also its final edition for the SNES and the Genesis, closing out a run that had made the series a 16-bit staple, and it arrived with Miami Heat point guard Tim Hardaway on the cover.

Its appeal is a full slate of NBA teams and players from the 1997–98 season, played with the five-on-five structure the series had refined across several SNES releases. The PlayStation and PC versions, out in the fall of 1997, were pushing into 3D by then, which makes the Super Nintendo cartridge the last word on the classic sprite-based approach: quicker to read, quicker to play and built around a control layout longtime players already knew by heart.

Completing an NBA Live run on the Super Nintendo ends here, and for sports collectors the cartridge is a snapshot of late-'90s basketball arriving on a console most of the industry had already moved past. Late releases like this one came out as the SNES era was winding down, which gives them a distinct place on the shelf next to the better-known early-'90s sports titles.
