Play NBA Live '96 (Europe) Online
Pick the Bulls, sprint downcourt with Jordan, and throw down dunks that rattle the backboard—everything just flows in this one. The announcer yells the same three lines all game, but you won’t care when you’re draining fadeaways with Pippen.
Game Overview
NBA Live '96 on SNES is that perfect mix of arcade-style basketball and just enough realism to make you feel like you're calling the shots. The controls are snappy—no clunky menus or complicated combos, just pick a team (I always went with the Bulls, obviously) and start draining threes. The players move way smoother than earlier basketball games, and the dunks actually have some weight to them.
Rosters are packed with mid-90s legends, so if you’ve ever wanted to see Shaq posterize someone in 16-bit glory, this is your chance. The commentary’s hilariously repetitive after a while, but that’s part of the charm. It’s not trying to be a hyper-realistic sim—just fast, fun basketball where you can pull off ridiculous passes and still feel like a genius. Perfect for quick matches when you’ve got 20 minutes to kill.
