[33]

Tell us about your best shot, your greatest block, the unforgetable buzzer beater !

I'd like you to tell me your Top Ten in NBA live 2004 or in a former series.

My created self was at the top of the lane, broke Kobe's ankles, took off from the foul line and dunked on Shaq and Horace Grant in Live 2004. Considering how often you get fouled flying to the hoop, this was the greatest play I've made so far....

[EGarrett]

I was playing the 90's All-Stars against the Charlotte Bobcats (don't ask) and I crossed the point guard over with John Stockton...then had Stockton wait for him to come back...call the clear-out and do it all over again...as though Stockton suddenly was on the And1 Mixtape tour.

When we open Records & Challenges...I'll slide this over for you.

back when i was in the DBL online league in summer of 2002 (for live 2001 pc.......)i was playin against one of the best players around then The Profit A-Dub (i was golden state and his team was the clippers) and he was whippin me pretty bad for 3 quarters but then in the 4th i made a run and got the lead and then he made another run on me to lead by 2 with like 8 seconds left.
so i inbound the ball to Mike Miller milked the clock to 4 seconds and then faked and then went back out to the arc and shot a fadeway 3 that hit all net at the buzzer for the win.that loss sent him on a 6 game losin streak too.

My highlights of live 2003 would have to be my created self leading the league in points, assists and steals and then 5 straight titles (now you know why I'm board with 2003).

My favorite thing though was creating a 9 year old, 5'4" boy with lowest ratings possible and the worst mullet and goggles go one-on-one with vintage Michael Jordan in the hood backdrop. That is freaking hysterical!

GAME: Live 2003

MODE: Franny (FRANCHISE)

GAME: bulls(me) vs. Lakers

DATE: championship time

it felt like it was me against the world my created player had to take scoring into his own hands dropping 2 tre's in the 4 quarter but that was not enough. Kobe was on a overwhelming hot streak, suddenly nothing seemed to exist except for Kobe and my created player, soon we began exchanging points like two boxers in a 12th round slugfest. there was 20 seconds left in the quarter, bulls down by 3 kobe comes DOWN i steal it 14 seconds counting down i try to pass it inside they double team chandler, chandler kicks it out 7 secs left my hands become embraced in sweat i launch the 3, at 2 secs left it hits the rim....................... spins then bounces out.

i stared at the screen and seen the lakers celebrate and wondered why i wasnt on the winning side, i took photos for my jornal, then began the offseason, then i realized its not over, theres always next year.


it wasnt my wins or ppg, or etc it was the lost that made my created player a better player and became the leader in assists, i wanted to make my players around me better. that lost gave me insight.

sounds corny jus for a game but i guess im a corny guy

In Live 2000 I believe (still the best of the series) the following happened.

I drafted a 5'4" poing guard with a medium seed (around 18th), but he was all gold for me.

I remember doing this one coast to coast with him. Got the ball after their basket and gave it to the pg (can't remember name)... And started moving up the court. Just after half-court, their pg came to hustle the ball away, but as he reached in for, I pulled a spin move and left him eating my dust. Remember this guys is tiny, so I still had to look at where I was going and the laned was pretty well closed up, so I took the ball with me to the left side of the court and tried to approach from there, but was again faced with another defender. He too tried to steal the ball, but again I got by him with spin, and I was there under the hoop and I pressed the shooting button, and to my surprise the guy went up for a dunk! Yes 5'4" guy doing a dunk! That was just miraculous sight... The guy just looked like he was flying. I think he had dunking 70 so that wasn't really a surprise, but have you seen these little fellows fly! Man that's just unreal.

One of the sweetest plays I've created in Live... I like these guys that just have a lot of energy, and they really seem to liven up the game.

I rarely save any replays, but I had to save that one. I don't have it anymore though... It was just unbelievable.

[EGarrett]

There are some pretty nice accomplishments in this thread. If any of you have screenshots of the stats from your comebacks in 2004...which I understand might be difficult for the console version...post them. I'm also sliding this over to Records & Challenges.

does anybody know how to make the live 2000 saved video into any format which u can play on media player or something

[Andrew]

If you're patient enough to take enough screens to make a good animated gif, there are some utilities out there that can make .avi files out of animated gifs.

[Jackal]

This happend in NBA Live 2001 and I'll never forget it, since it will never really happen:

Game 7 of the NBA Finals, 4-6 seconds left, Lakers down by one...first time I was in that kind of a situation, plan was, outlet and shoot a trey, had Kobe run up court and was planning to pass it to him, so I tap the pass button...the ball goes to Shaq who was running up court, he shoots the three and makes it .
A couple of seconds were left, but I pressured the ball and time ran out, whew.

[alexboom]

it was about the first time I played Live 97. I took a defensive rebound with Clyde Drexler of the Houston Rockets, push on the "shot" button by mistake and oops, he shoots a three from under his board and hit it.

I though first that it was a bug, but I never did it twice (although I didn't try it again a lot)

[Power And Proud]

NBA Live 2000 on Nintendo 64. Wizards @ Pistons.

I was down one with 10 seconds left and Detroit had the ball, so I had Rip Hamilton and Michael Jordan (I controlled MJ) double team the guy with ball at mid court, 5 seconds left, Jordan steals the ball sprints to the 3 point line, 2 seconds, Jordan leans in for the 3 pointer at the buzzer, NOTHIN BUT NET! Wizards win by 2!

Live 2004
Bulls 15-0 vs Sacramento Kings
All-Star
Default Settings (Fatigue=45)
7 minute game.

i was playing the bulls and i was down 2 with 9 seconds left Kings ball, i had crawford steal the ball and passed it to chandler who passed it to pippen for the buzzer beating dunk. On the first OT Chandler was injured and was out for the game. Last 5 seconds i was down by 3, the inbound pass went to Rose and i hit the 3!!!! I won the game 127-120. That was my best come back ever, and i kept my winning streak alive.

Chandler was injured on the second quarter but was able to come back. I lost him for 2 quarters.

[Mazzocchi]

this one time...

Denver Nuggets @ Dallas Mavericks (Me)
1) Dirk Nowitzki, spun to the right of Carmello Anthony
2) Dirk went up for 1 handed jam
But when he almost got to the top...
3) Carmello jumped up and was gonna swat it away
4) so i passed it to Antwan Jamison
who was on the right side of the court
5) so he ran towards the Net
6) and Carmello landed so
7) I hit the dunk button and he went up,
8) and some guy (i dunno who it was hes on the friggin nuggets) came from no where and blocked it
9) it hit the backboard,
Michael Finley comes from nowhere
10) and tip slams it just as its coming off of the backdboard
to bring it home

I thought that was one hell of a play lol

[neo_kangwei]

I was playing NBA 2003 online with my friend..... i was with the Raptors, on a fast break Alvin williams passed the ball to a speeding VC and i just pressed "shoot" from the free throw line and Vinsanity freaking dunked from the Charity...... i did that twice in the game... guess my friend got pissed and trained real hard to beat me one week later

[Jing]

i think my best was in live 2004. i was playing with a friend, and shaq went up to dunk, i blocked it, then he did it again, blocked it again, then again, blocked again, 3 in a row, my friend got the ball, and crossed up payton, and gave it to me. i was in the right corner, i had malone guarding me, i freestyles, made malone go the wrong way, then jumped "over" kobe and shaq for the one handed dunk. and made shaq fall over, as well as draw a foul, which i made. in the end, i ended up with 24 points, 11 blocks, 31 assists and 18 steals, and 8 boards.

[Se7en>>Dimension]

in the end, i ended up with 24 points, 11 blocks, 31 assists and 18 steals, and 8 boards.

Talk about realistic stats.

[Islagia]

LOL, really, my best play was with The Cavs. the Lakers were winning by 1 pt. with 5 seconds left on the shot clock and Boozer blocked Payton twice to force the shot clock violation. And I gave the ball to LeBron and he passed it to Ricky Davis, then he went 4 the alley-oop, LeBron missed it, but Ilgauskas got the rebound and dunked it in.

[alexlive]

A cool thing happened to me recently in 2003 where I passed an allyoop to my open teamate and the ball hit the right part of the backboard and came off and it was dunked while the player was still in the air. I looked at the replay closely and that really happened. I've never done that and I've played this game a lot! Pretty sweet.

[KnickNut3]

I was playing Live 97, maybe 98. Down 2, no timeouts, 2.5 seconds left,
I PULL THE VALPO BRYCE DREW PLAY.
Half-court pass to my 7'2" center, who turns in midair and passes it to my SF on the right wing, who takes one step and knocks down the trey as time expires.

This was with my self-created 8th grade CYO team. Really sweet.

[oboeguy]

Back in the days of Live 2000, IIRC, a pal was visiting from out of town. I was the Knicks, he was the Heat. Playing in Miami... I don't remember how it happened, but somehow the ball bounced nearly into the rafters! Naturally, I took a screenshot:



Edit: staring at the picture now i think I remember... my pal sucked at the game so he accidentally took a shot behind the backboard, I think, with Dan Marley (don't know the real spelling, sorry), perhaps?

[Guest]

Live 03, Rockets vs pacers. Im already up by 12 with about 10 secs on clock in 4th, cpu steals ball and goes out of bounds with 1 sec on clock. I in bound 2 player near basket, dunk and 1, no time gone off the clock, still 1sec left, i miss foul shot get rebound, dunk and 1, STILL 1 sec on clock, i miss free throw, get rebound, miss shot game finaly over????
Take game, smash it up, now i go buy 04

[Seonadancing]

I was playing with my Lakers team against New Orleans and all my players were having a bad game except for Shaq who had 48pts. I was down by 2 with 2.2 seconds left, i called a timeout then made the inbound to payton who took a dribble then threw a shot from the 3 and was fouled! I thought for a split second that i need to make 3 free throws but he made the 3. That was his 9th pt and only field goal in the second half. Previous Lives have never given me tense moments like this. NBA Lve 2004 is the best!

[-BHZMAFIA-]

Well i mostly get some good defensive plays in at the end of games. im in an online league and i dont quite remember everything that happened, but i blocked 2 of ray allen shots when he tried to win the game off the 3. i was also down 3-1 in the series and i came all the way back to win it 4-3. i made some real good other plays before, but i just cant remember enough.
