One good thing about this game is that it includes the *NEW* ROOKIES! HOWEVER, it doesnt show their faces when you trade them and etc. This year, there are a few more legends and for those of you who buy it for the graphics or those high flying dunks seen in the advertisements, dont buy this game! I've had NBA Live 96 to 2001, and this game isn't a big improvement over 2000. Sure there is a Challenge mode, but it's to long and it becomes boring after a while. I even think NBA Shootout '01 will be better then this. Like all the years, the camera angles make the gameplay extremely hard. And you need glasses to recognize faces.(I broke my glasses).So if you have 2000, dont buy this game. Buy Shootout if you want to...If it's in the game, it MIGHT be in the game...And oh yeah, don't think all those arguments with the refs over the calls are any good, the players only have one reaction to those calls, and it takes 5-10 seconds to load up that little flick.

NBA Live 2001 for Playstation is very similar to the last version, NBA Live 2000. The graphics are detailed but not detailed enough. The players' body, arms and legs seem "boxy" and square-like just like NBA Live 2000. This game is cool. I recommend this game for NBA fans(like me) who would like to try playing with the pros, creating custom players and earning rewards(which is a new feature in this series). This also features the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's All-Star players which was also featured in NBA Live 2000. There are more comments said by the commentator. I myself is in the Superstar level because I've had lot's of pratice with the older versions. It seems like in this version, it gets harder to shoot. You must have a good stroke to get it in. I hope many people buy this because it's a great game for the great fan. I can't wait till the next one comes out.

this game is soooooo good. buy it, buy it now!!!!!!!!!!!! the only thing that is missing is franchise mode but it still rocks the world in all it does! the challenge mode is a bit boring but it is truly rewarding once you you unlock a code. nice graphics too. it is worth the money!!!!!!!!
