🏀 NBA Live 99 + 2000 - Nintendo 64 Review - ULTRA HDMI - HD 

I just love the old TNT logo. It reminds me of my childhood.

I love that your grandma had this game. I remember as a kid playing old PC games on my grandparents white box computer (I especially enjoyed solitaire).

Dude, these graphics and animations are amazing for N64. Almost looks like an early, low-budget Dreamcast game.

I remember playing this on PS1, nobody had N64 in my little town.

NBA Courtside 2, all the way! But… NBA Live 99, to this day, still has one of my favorite soundtracks in any sports game. It really makes me miss the days when AAA sports game developers created unique soundtracks for their games rather than just stringing a bunch of licensed songs together and calling it a day.

i have those cartdrige! but my favourite NBA game is NBA Hangtime haha, i still play it.

NBA Showtime was an absolute staple at birthday parties and sleepovers when I was a kid. That game was the king basketball game on the system for everyone I knew, and was just regarded as one of the most fun multiplayer games in general. Every other basketball game at the time was a non-factor!

Man, I just couldn't catch a break when I was a kid. N64 was my console, and I've always loved the NBA. One year come Christmas I begged for a basketball game to feed my new N64. I was secretly hoping for NBA Courtside, but I got NBA live 99 as a gift instead, which I already knew kinda sucked. Next Christmas, I asked for NBA jam 2000, thinking that it would be awesome, but then the godawful Pal version destroyed any chance of me enjoying the game. I never got around to getting NBA Courtside, but when I got the GameCube a few years later I ran to get NBA Courtside 2002 to compensate. Of course, NBA Courtside 2002 sucked. Tough times!

Hangtime, the Courtside Series, and Showtime are the best ones in my opinion.

I had nba 99! It was a present from my nanna, it was the only video game she ever bought me. I was mad into basketball back then, so I loved it

all of your videos are amazing dont ever stop

NBA Hangtime was my favorite N64 basketball game. I loved the create-a-player mode and spent many hours maxing out the stats for my creation.

I remember these games I use to watch my brother play this game

Finally. Very cool review!

Great review I played both games before

NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC was my favorite basketball game for the N64, another NTSC exclusive where PAL region gamers were shafted.

These games were my childhood also first lol

Everytime I see Basketball on my TV an idea comes up in my head: I should change the channel. Let me clarify: I'm talking about the NBA since 2009. I'm from Seattle & that was when our NBA franchise was stolen from us.

I always remember that menu music "1999 Funk ST" from NBA live 99, it sounded really good on the N64.

I was never into NBA Games but I like the era where the games looks kinda different🤔

ayee shoutout pacers !

Great vid. We differ slightly, I thought this was decent but not good or great. The frame rate was the worst for me. There are a lot of basketball games on the console and few are good. NBA Jam and Courtside come to mind. College Hoops is certainly the worst.

I go for NBA Courtside 1 It was a classic game, this graphics and audio are so amazing, so sad for Kobe Bryant.

EA from the 90's where very different from the husk they are today. They where not perfect of course, but their games were made with care, look at the Need for Speed ​​series, the games extract the best that the hardware had to offer, on both PC and PlayStation. It's a shame that on the Nintendo 64 it didn't have the best results, but a good part of the poor optimization for the system was the fault of Nintendo that it took a long time to release the custom micro codes that changed development for the N64 greatly.

I noticed that you choose the Indiana Pacers in many of your basketball game reviews. Are the Pacers your favorite team and if not do have a favorite NBA team/player?

Good day Glenn, have you done a video about the best multiplayer N64 games?

I played NBA 2000 so much man. At some point i figured out you just need to get the ball into the post and pump fake to get easy two.

Something I'd like to mention to get off my chest is that N64 version of Live 2000 didn't have the classic rosters of historical teams to unlock. PC and PS1 did but Nintendo players had to settle just for Michael Jordan. This infuriated me as a kid because it was like 40% of the reason I bought the game!

Back when EA and NBA were good.

one of the reasons why nba live 99 on n64 looked and felt so bad was because it was actually just a reskin of nba live 98, you can tell from the models and animations. they didn't even bother to port the ps1 version of 99 over. 2000 looked so much better since it was a proper port of the ps1 version, although both are pretty rough. i had a lot of fun playing these versions as a kid but the pc version is king

For me the best basketball game on the N64 is NBA Courtside

I had 99 on ps1 but didnt even get around to ever playing it

HANGTIME and nbc showtime are king on n64

I didn't like Live 99. I rented this and I hated it. I bought NBA Jam 99 and it was so much better. But great video!

For simulation NBA Courtside 1 and 2 (RIP Kobe) as far as arcade basketball games NBA Hangtime (best port of the arcade game) and NBA Showtime

Have to agree completely with your picks of Hangtime and Courtside. Honorable mentions to Courtside 2 and Showtime. NBA Live, Jam, and In the Zone are just awful.

Love me some hangtime

The players look the same irl

There was a pc version?!?! Whaaaa

I like the nba live games. I didn't play the others.

I wish I could mod my console with hdmi😭

NBA Live 2000 is de the best basketball game on Nintendo 64 besides Kobe Bryant 2 n NBA Hangtime

I'll play nba hangtime on my 64.

I Do Have EA Sports NBA Live 99🏀 (1998) And EA Sports NBA Live 2000🏀 I Only Have It On Sony PlayStation From (1998) & (1999) Because The Sony PlayStation Version Of EA Sports NBA Live 99🏀 And EA Sports NBA Live 2000🏀 Has A (Halftime Show) Clips So I Prefer The Sony PlayStation Versions.

Hope your ok brother….

Yay I'm a huge fan of sports ball.

Don't worry all NBA live after 98 on ps1 ran at 20fps!!!

I've played these and they weren't that bad actually

I'm happy to not own any sports 64 game... 1080 and Tony Hawk are exceptions... Should I say team sports?

NBA Courtside is the best 👍

EA's long-chronicled history of releasing their games on Nintendo using three year old engines and with maybe half the game modes. Then complaining when it is not reviewed well or sold well.

I can tell the difference. That NBA Live 99 is def NBA Live 98 lol

I was soo vex when i got live 99 on my n64 only to find out its basically a shit version of the years before version SMH N64 live 99 and saturn live 97 worst 2 i played in that era!!!

ME AND MY BUDDIES USED TO GET SMASHED AND PLAY THIS. WE WOULD TURN THE RULES OFF AND PLAY FOR MONEY LOL

💔 P r o m o S M!!!

Who are really good at basketball... Starts with a n- ends with an r, but whome you would never want to live around...? Neighbors.
