Jordan is back on the Bulls' roster, Tyson is bigger than ever and Monica Seles has come back from her rehab and had the chance to win it all at the U.S. Open. It seems some of sports' top names are on the comeback trail. So is EA, with the '96 edition of NBA Live!
Better than ever of course, NBA Live '96 has been beefed up to bring you another great season of NBA excitement. (I love this game!) You'll get to see the new expansion teams as well as all of the current players In the sport.
If you're looking for the main features that have changed, check out the Specs column and see if they match up to your standards.
As you know, the Al has been improved to give seasoned players a bit more challenge, but after playing for a while, the difficulty winds down. There should always be challenge in sports games. If I plan to enter the Season Play, I expect the computer to give me a hard time in reaching the NBA Finals. It's not fun when you're scoring close to 200 points every single game. Maybe next year.
The game play has improved in the shooting department. Players can dunk the ball whenever they are under the basket, rather than shooting a jump shot other players can block easily. This is the NBA: If you're 7 feet tall and under the basket, you better dunk the rock. EA Sports has brought NBA Live to another level of excitement.
