Electronic Arts returns to the court with its first PlayStation 2 basketball game, NBA Live 2001. This seventh edition in the popular series uses brand new cyberscan technology for more detailed player heads and skin textures, in addition to improved stadium details like animated benches and a polygonal crowd. New transitions and enhanced in-game sequences add to the television-style presentation, while each coach's unique personality and emotions dictate the way their team reacts to the ins and outs of a contest. When coupled with a host of brand new animations, improved speech and sound effects, motion capture from Kevin Garnett, and an enhanced create-a-player, NBA Live 2001 tries its best to create the ultimate basketball experience.
