The dominant hoops franchise returns live, delivering high-flyin', fast-paced NBA action plus a whole lot more. With all-new player reactions and bench sequences, redesigned commentary, and crowd animations, NBA Live 2001 comes alive, bringing more emotion and atmosphere to the court than ever before.

Daily Radar
With just about every conceivable option for a basketball game available, Live 2001 is even better than last year's excellent effort.

GamePro
If you want a game that's more tailored to individual play rather than team cooperation, then NBA Live is a great choice.

Sports Gaming Network
The game is just plain fun and I can honestly say that I would rather play Live 2001 than almost half of the PS2's line-up of launch games.

IGN
Rarely has there even been a time in the history of sports game development that the implementation of new (mo-cap) moves actually achieved the result of positively impacting the gameplay of a title -- as much as it has here with NBA Live 2001.

GameSpot
NBA Live 2001 is not only the PlayStation's best basketball game, but it's also the best playing b-ball sim on any system.

PSX Nation
The gameplay hasn't evolved too terribly much but it has improved.
80
Happy Puppy
The game delivers all the options and play modes you could possibly ask for, a rock-solid control scheme, and of course, EA Sports' unmatched presentation value and signature high-flying action.
80
Hot Games
Despite its graphical limitations, statistical miscues and outdated rosters, this is still one of the best basketball games for the Playstation.
75
Gaming Age
Though while showing some nuances, the game is still old news for the ones who've gone onto the next generation systems.

CNET Gamecenter
While NBA Live 2001 is very much like the 2000 version, it offers some new extras like the NBA Challenge and new in-the paint moves that will appeal to die-hard ballers.
