I love this game! Since I never played NBA Live, you can read my review and weigh it with a grain of salt. You can perform cross overs, post ups, and set picks. Missed MJ?

The keys to a successful basketball video game are its controls, artificial intelligence ... more
and the pacing of the game. NBA Courtside excels
in all these facets, with only a few drawbacks.
One is in the defensive AI, which often leaves
itself open to dunks and fast breaks and is
generally a slouch when it comes to rebounds. This
can be remedied with the higher difficulty levels,
but that makes the computer a flawless shooter,
even from behind the line. The controls are good,
but take some getting used to if you've spent a
lot of time with other basketball simulations. The
c-stick on the controller is used to pass the
ball; no button presses are necessary--just point
the stick at the desired player and the ball is
away. Unfortunately this same system is used to
select defensive players, and that can be
difficult especially if the action is fast and
furious. At least there are plenty of game modes:
practice, exhibition, season and even an
interesting mode that takes place on top of the
roof. As you might expect, the player models are
smooth, crisp and photo-realistic. The animations
are detailed and realistic with nary a slowdown or
glitch. Even the crowd looks good, and benched
players are likewise in full 3-D. The audio isn't
so impressive, however, with uninspired and slow
commentary; often it seems to be describing plays
from another game, or worse, talks about plays
that happened 30 seconds prior to the current
action. This is not a game breaker, but is
definitely not as good as the competition.  Aside
from the minor flaws described above, NBA
Courtside is still a stellar entry in the
basketball fold and an asset for the Nintendo
GameCube library. Worth the purchase now, and with
a few fixes, it'll be a real contender next year.

Review of NBA Courtside (N64) by dmxkobe8

Advantages: good graphics
Disadvantages: unrealistic

...game! Since I never played NBA Live, you can read my review and weigh it with a grain of salt. You can perform cross overs, post ups, and set picks. Missed MJ? With the Create a player option, you can bring him back to life. There are gripes to this game. One, unlike Griffey, trading is a snap so you can easily create a dream team. Second, the computer can block your shots easily. Since when John Stockton has 4 blocks in a game? Third, the game is ... Read review

Whether you thought that the spurs winning the NBA Championship was the greatest thing in the world or an utter disgrace doesn't matter much now that the season is over. What does matter, however, is that hoop fanatics can use EA's NBA Live 06 to get... more
