Play NBA Live 2000 Online
NBA Live 2000 nails that late-90s NBA vibe—you’re setting picks, running plays, and occasionally laughing at those blocky player faces. The franchise mode hooks you with trades and drafts, while custom players let you make your dentist a point guard.
Game Overview
NBA Live 2000 on N64 is basically a time capsule of the 1999-2000 season—complete with MJ’s comeback, rookie faces, and those slightly terrifying early 3D facial animations that somehow made Shaq look even more intense. The gameplay leans hard into simulation, so don’t expect arcade-style dunks every possession. You’ll actually need to time passes, set picks, and outthink the AI (which, yeah, occasionally still falls for the same crossover move three times in a row).
Creating custom players is weirdly addictive—especially now that you can slap any photo onto them, turning your little brother into a 7-foot center if you want. The new streetball 1v1 mode is fun for quick trash-talking sessions, but the real time-sink is the franchise mode. Drafting rookies, trading aging stars, and slowly realizing your GM skills might be worse than the Knicks’ front office? Classic.
Just don’t blame the game when you lose to the AI on rookie difficulty. Some things never change.
