this is the game that made the games what they are today! First came the real life look of there faces and the movement of the crowd! Live 99 brought the "soul of hoops to life"....Thank you EA for the years but 2k has completely take over this basketball genre
yes i agree this brings back good ass memories playing this game every weekend with my cousin had some good battles this music kick ass should bring these songs back for the newer games
this beat go hard as hell completely through but it get supa hard at like the 0:42 mark...I was like & when I used to play this wit my cuzzo...this song used to make me feel cool as hell...lmao
Oh My F.cking God!!! this joint bring back SOOOOOOOO many good ass memories of me playin this at my older cousin house back in the day...mannnn Im gettin nostalgic...good ass song....THANK YOU for uploadin...I been lookin for this for years...man you CLUTCH for the upload...Im a happy dude now...
can i bust a freestyle to this please??? pretty please hehehe its just so smooth and raw. and so is this game . i was always nestle crunch player of the game with stockton hehe
Traz Damji is the man! Actually the whole crew of musicians who's been working on this soundtrack is very talented! Still one of my favourite NBA Live Soundtracks. The other one is '99 and 2000.
There must be a way to rip the audio from these disc to mp3 right? i want to make a video game compilation featuring this, tekken1/2 music and SoTN amongst others
Damn, i miss the jazz music they had on NBA live. This brings back the memories of me jamming to this while creating super players(i was young,lol), doing trades, changing rosters, etc,lol.
Out of all the NBA live tracks, this is my favorite song. I remember I used to have this game for both PS1 and PC. Man I would spend hours playing it. When I hear this music back in the days, it brings me to my own world. How I miss those memories.
yeah man, I was shocked that it was on the PS1 version (considering the fact that I used to own the PS2 version, but some1 stole it). But, this is the jam!!!!
All of the songs from Live 98 remind me of "Pick up the Pieces" by the Average White Band.
We need to wake up the kids today and open their eyes and ears to good classic funk. In football, 2k usually had a few decent songs thrown in the mix. EA had the excellent lineup on FIFA. I don't know about the new era...
This is my fav all-time track on any NBA Live game. I own '97, '98 and 2000 on PSX. I remember when me and my friends would spend countless hours playing this classic game back in the Summer of '98. Unfortunately, a few months later, I broke my PSX. However, I've just recently purchased another one at Play-N-Trade and brought this game, Live '97 and 2000, Tekken 3, Crash and several others.
Ive lost my faith in nba live. The NBA 2k series has overtaken the nba live series in my opinion. I thought NBA Live 98 and NBA Live 99 were the two best games of the series. NBA Live 08 and NBA Live 09 have been a complete disappointment in my mind.
wow, memories. i remember i didnt have a memory card when i first bought my playstation, so i managed to trade and create the same players every time i turned on the console. i wrote down all the ratings and trades in a notebook haha. man, the commitment we had as kids...
In my opinion, there hasn't been a good NBA Live game since Live '98. Since Live '99, EA Sports has been making NBA Live games gimmicky. Live 2000, once you unlocked Michael Jordan, that game was whack. Live '05, was the first Live with All-Star Weekend and once you got through that, the game sucked. Live '06 was when they put the signature moves in the game but the game still sucked. Because of this, I have been buying and playing the NBA 2K series.
Each one I listened to I thought was my Fav track.. then I came to this one and was like OH YEAH! 98 definitely had my fav soundtrack. Right up there with the Tekken 3 Remixes.
This is a real game soundtrack
