Just as the NBA® has come a long way from set shots and canvas sneakers, NBA® Live 96 is advanced far beyond previous b-ball videogames. Brand-new from the ground up, it maintains the features and strategy of previous EA SPORTS™ NBA titles and adds a fresh new perspective, all-new animations, incredible sound and graphics, and more options than ever before.

NBA Live 96 Features:

  • All 29 NBA teams (each with realistic play styles), 2 All-Star teams, and 4 Custom teams.


  • 30 degree court perspective for the best seats in the house.


  • All-new player animations, including jump shots, layups about a zillion slams, stealing, fouling, rebounding, and showboating.
