NBA Live 2001

NBA Live 2001 is a basketball sim built around the 2000-2001 NBA season roster. You'll find the league's current players and that year's rookie class represented on their respective teams. The game models standard five-on-five basketball with fouls, shot clock, and quarter-based play. Expect career modes, exhibition matches, and season campaigns typical of the franchise at that point. Controls handle dribbling, passing, shooting, and defensive positioning. It's an annual series entry, so improvements over the prior year are incremental rather than transformative. If you followed the NBA in 2000 and wanted a console option to play as those rosters, this delivered that straightforward experience without major surprises.
