what nba video games did you play growing up?

[The_Pharcyde]

My first was nba courtside with yong kobe on the cover for the 64.... i played that game for countless hours... I would go through all the rosters and look at the players all the time... i got a ton of bball knowledge from that game lol

then when i grabbed my ps2 in December of 2002 I played live all the time... i still remember renting live 2003 with j kidd on the cover... nothing was touching that game, i mean it is still real fun to this day
also the NBA street series was played by me all the time, the 1st and 2nd one
nba street vol 2 might be the best game of all time lol

then i stuck with live until 2k9 with garnett on the cover came out, i was starting to become disappointed with live and 2k took over from there... i noticed a lot of people made the switch when that game came out

I dont play video games much anymore but if I do it is always 2k, I tried the Live demo and it was fun but it just seemed like a 2nd tier nba game

Could easily go in the video games forum.

I think the last game I played countless hours was 2k2 or 2k3 on Dreamcast, I don't remember which one. It was so easy to do a crossover on there, basically even big men could throw the ball behind their back and blow by the defender

yeah but who goes in there, i didnt know there was a video game forum

early super nintendo games was nba jam.

then for ps1, the nba shootout series in the late 90's was always a blast. instead of MJ on the bulls, they had M.Player who dominated

the cross freethrow system when you were shooting as shaq....

progressed to live's after that, then fell in love with 2k's. think it was the iverson cover year?

Courtside was my first as well. Then I moved on to the obvious Live, then 2k.

Also used to play a lot of NBA Inside Drive, had VC on the cover I think. And those NBA Street Vol. 1 & 2's used to kill it.

I'm 28 so I grew up playing Double Dribble on the oldschool NES system LOL

[Thunderfan86]

Double Dribble!

[NBAplayoffs2001]

NBA Inside Drive 2002 on Xbox. Played it so much. I either used the Raptors cause of Vince Carter or Lakers cause of Shaq. If my teammate was either one of those teams, I used to chose the Knicks and try to go off with Spreewell.

Briefly played NBA Live 07 with a friend online at his house one evening. Switching off games. NBA Live back in the day on xbox live was so fun.

I bought NBA 2k11 the summer before college. I was doing a few internships and was busy most of the week: ~30-40 hours a week but got bored often on weekends when I had time to myself. I was getting sick of Black Ops (played this game SO much as a senior in high school) and decided to buy 2k11. Played it A LOT my winter break my freshman year. Really hasn't been touched that much since. A lot of my college friends had 2k12 and 2k13 so we often played that while hanging out.

There was some 90s NBA game I played on N64. Forgot what it was called. I just remember using the Bulls or Jazz all the time because those were like the only two I knew would be good on each game back in the late 90s ahah.

Yup, Dr. J vrs Bird.

And then to the arcade to play NBA Jam when it was available. I was pretty dam good at it too. Hours of fun beating all challengers at the arcade. Good memories ha ha
