About NBA Live 98

NBA Live 98 is a basketball simulation based on the professional league's 1998 season. The game includes every team, player, and arena from that year. A significant visual upgrade was achieved through the scanning of over 350 player faces to enhance authenticity.

Several new on-court moves, such as the crossover dribble and fade-away shot, were added to the player's arsenal. Beyond standard exhibition matches, the available modes encompass full season play, playoff brackets, and specialized events like a three-point shootout. A managerial career mode is also present as an additional option.
