I dont get the feeling that I'm in a dome with 25,000 screaming fans. The manual is the typical EA sports offering. Thin and of little content. Gameplay is very similar to past NBA titles. As well, the league play has been enhanced.
Players can now play multiple seasons with their favorite teams.
The computer not only intelligently handles trades, but will also initiate them. While in season mode, NBA 99 has also added more realistic stats. For example, if you play 8 minute games in your season, then the game gives the option to have all games simulated at 8 minutes. This way one can realistically compare ones own stats against the best of the computer players. Overall the game is addictive and fun.
