This is the NBA Live game people remember most fondly, and I understand why. The presentation is cool and the gameplay is easy to pick up, but it's also quite shallow.
Using the right stick for dribble moves (first introduced in Live 2003) was novel at the time, but there's not really much else happening with the gameplay. While it was fine at the time, it feels a bit primitive today, though there's still fun to be had here.
