NBA Live 98

NBA Live 98 is a basketball sim where you control NBA teams through full 5-on-5 matches. You manage substitutions, call plays, and execute shots, passes, and defensive schemes using the league's real rosters from that season. The game offers exhibition matches, a full season mode, and playoffs. On-court action focuses on positioning and timing rather than arcade scoring runs. Visuals use player likenesses and team branding from the late '90s NBA. Multiple platforms got releases, with the PC and PlayStation versions arriving first, followed by Saturn. This was the last entry in the series to appear on 16-bit consoles. If you want straightforward basketball without fantasy layers, this delivers that structure.
