NBA Live 98

The fourth game in EA Sport's annual basketball franchise, featuring Tim Hardaway (then of the Miami Heat) on the cover.

Overview

NBA Live 98 is a multiplatform basketball game and the fourth game in the NBA Live series from EA Sports. The game was the last in the series to be released on the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It features all the teams and players of the 1997/98 NBA season.

NBA Live 98 was the first basketball game to use digitised photos of real players for in-game faces. However the use of unchanging still photos meant that the player's expression would never change throughout the course of the game.
