NBA Live 2000's impact stemmed from its then-unprecedented attention to detail in player likenesses and animations, pushing the boundaries of what a sports title could achieve visually. The game's fluid movement and responsive controls, particularly the innovative 'Total Control' scheme, allowed for a level of precision and dynamism that felt revolutionary at the time. Its legacy endures, not only for its graphical advancements, but for setting a new standard in the pursuit of realism within the basketball video game genre.

About NBA Live 2000

Details
The NBA Live series of basketball video games, published by EA Sports, is currently one of the leading National Basketball Association simulations on the market. Starting from NBA Live 2000, the series featured NBA Live Legend All-Stars Teams, that included some biggest names from five decades (50s to 90s). These teams could be used instantly, but to use the players as regular players (e.g. traded, played on regular NBA Teams) they needed to be unlocked. Along the series, some of the rosters were changed due to many reasons as Michael Jordan was on the 90's team through 2004.
