The NBA Live series of basketball games, published by EA Sports, is currently one of the leading National Basketball Association simulations on the market. Its main (and only major) competitor is Take-Two Interactive's NBA 2K series.
The series started with NBA Live '95. Subsequently, NBA Live '96, 97 and so on, until the naming was changed from utilizing the last two digits of the year utilizing the entire year number in the name. For example, NBA Live 2002, uses this naming system. Starting with NBA Live 06, the series returned to the original two-digit naming system).
The game is based on the NBA Playoffs series, starting with Lakers vs. Celtics and the NBA Playoffs, released in 1990 for the Sega Genesis This game was played from a horizontal view (while later versions moved to an isometric view before ultimately moving to 3D on newer consoles). The game was one of the first to feature an NBA license, containing both real NBA teams and player likenesses and signature moves. For example, Kareem Abdul Jabbar's goggles are clearly visible, and his sky hook shot is animated with very high accuracy. Detailed player numbers were also visible. The game featured all eight teams that made the NBA playoffs that year, as well as both NBA All-Star teams.
