A Virtual Stunner NBA Live 2001 is a visually striking game that effectively captures the atmosphere of big league basketball. Most of the players have been thoughtfully rendered in relation to their real life counterparts. Even the arenas are fully replicated with their glossy floors and familiar confines. The infamous Boston Fleet Center rekindles championship memories with Larry Bird and KC Jones. The trademark-checkered floor is there alongside the championship banners and shamrock highlights.
Users can opt to play a single exhibition game or a full fledge season.
There is also a playoff mode for those who can t stand playing thru long stretches of the regular season. A franchise mode enables the user live out their dream by running their own NBA team. Practically anything can be done in terms of player management, especially with the available draft. The NBA culture is thoughtfully retained with Hip-Hop tunes and hardcore beats. Even popular artists like Montel Jordan make an appearance to provide a sweet sounding soundtrack.
