In the closed thread about Craig Ehlo someone mentioned Breaux and his ability to shoot 3's in NBA Live 95.... Does anyone have any other memories of video game Rocket players? The Rockets players on the old Sega NBA Live 95 & 96 were the bomb! Those games rocked... and the ability to make your own players... with afros!! Too much! I remember the NBA Jam for Gameboy... one of the Rockets was Maxwell and it was fun to let him jack three's from way out! It totally looked like his 'move'.... I think I'm gonna find some AA batts and load up the NBA Jam in the old gameboy... and even plug in the SEGA!! rH
Kenny Smith had a pretty sweet shot in the original NBA Jam (arcade), but Dee Brown (Celtics at the time) could not miss. I later found out that he helped develop the game.
Olajuwon was unstoppable in NBA Jam Tournament Edition for the SuperNES. I was (and still am, by god) awesome at that game, and I'd always play Dream. It got so bad none of my buddies would play me 'cause I'd beat the **** out of them with Hakeem, and I'd talk a lot of **** in the process.
Mario Elie could shoot 3's like crazy in NBA Live 97 for the Playstation. More recently, Steve is nearly unstoppable in NBA 2K1 on the Dreamcast.
Okay no one can be better then Francis in Street for PS2. He can shoot 3s, 2s, dunk like a motha, steal, dribble and just plain kick some ASS!
Oh yeah...the Sega Live 95 Rockets were awesome. For some reason, that game had the best Dream Shake/turnaround of any basketball game I've played. And trust me, that's quite a large number.
i had the sega nba live 95 too. rockets were ranked 2nd after the sonics if i'm not mistaken. but the game was a bit funny at times. i remember vlade divac shoot 3s that hit the front rim, bounce down hard, bounce back up through the net, hit the glass and drops in the basket. i've done it quite a lot. and i'm not making this up. i think i'm gonna go play my jam tournament edition too.
the best thing about jam t.e is the 9 point spots. last seconds gametime you go to the 9 spots and just shoot (even beyond halfcourts) and just hope your teammate jumps and catches the miss and drops it in. it counts for 9. i cant remember how many times i had done that and had it done to me.
Clyde and Dream were the best in Hangtime for N64. I guarantee I would knock the **** out of any of you in that game baby!
In Tecmo basketball Scott Brooks hit every three he took when you ran a certain play for him. I never lost to anyone, ever, as long as I had Brooks.
That's funny, I had Mattel Football (before the green passing unit) and all my red blips were Oilers!! too funny rH
Tecmo NBA Basketball for NES was fun. I forgot how many minutes the quarters were (I remember between 3 and 5), anyways the time elapsed fast...I'd just use Dream to shoot the whole game (except a few shots). I'd win, and he would end up in the 40-50 ppg range.
<-----------------------"Someone" Before Nba Live hit Playstation, there were many weird attributes of the game with certain players. Its not just Tim Breaux........... Some other things i remember about Nba Live '95 on SNES were that 1) Calbert Cheaney (despite low 3pt ability) was always in top 5 in three shooting percentages 2) Dennis Rodman had white hair, no options 3) No matter if u created a 7'10 player with perfect stats or a perfect pg, they will never produce in the top ten of any catergory compared with real players 4) I dont know if it was just my game or what, but whenever i did expansion drafts for toronto and grizz, 90% of time Pete Chillcut was first pick ............................... there are many more but these are the most noticeable of all the weird player attributes.
I remember that Maxwell-Olajuwon team on the original NBA Jam. The Bulls were made the best team on those games, hands down. Even without Jordan , Quitten and Ho Grant were awesome. You couldn't play as Barkley, either, because he'd made some sorry basketball game of his own. I've still got NBA Live 95 for my SNES. It's fun to bring back that old team every now and then.
Are you sure Barkley wasn't on the original NBA Jam? I don't have good memory but I think Phoenix had Barkley and KJ. I do remember Barkley not being on the NBA Live series. I remember P Forward # 3 in the starting lineup for the Rockets. Also anyone hate SG # 99 on the Bulls in the Live series?
