I have to agree with penske1 and chrisGO. NBA Live for PC has gone nowhere but down the past 3-4 years. Classic NBA games from the past, like Tecmo NBA basketball (http://flashgamesite.com/play1304game.html), they were the real deal.

Those top 5 worst, I never played them, but it seems like Laimbeer’s game must have been a winner.

Live 08 for PS2 was terrible as Josh McRoberts and Alando Tucker’s ratings were 84 and 85 and Greg Oden and Kevin Durant’s were 77 and 78

I had this game and it did suck. Bill Lambier had a game on SNES that was probably worse than the Jordan game.

The MJ game sucked balls. I don’t even know why he put his name on that crap. Throwing basketballs at zombies wasn’t fun. I guess having Hir Airness’ name on the game sells.

Charles Barkley’s Shut up and Jam was ok. It wasn’t the best bball game at the time, but it was sure worth playing if you have nothing better to do.

Worst sports game for me would be NBA Jam Extreme. They just fucked that series up with that game. Only bright spot was Marv Albert.

Or how about Shaq’s moves? I mean, was there a challenge where you had to take free throws? Or was that just not a move that could be done?

That should be comment of the day

That MJ chaos in the windy city game was funny…You had to dunk on the baskets to drop keys that you would later use to unlock doors.He would throw flaming basket balls and all..My grandfather has a copy of that game and my Super NES works if I can get him to give me the game I’ll try my best to send it to you all just send the details and address of where to send to my email

Thoughts on the Jordan/Shaq games:

In Jordan’s game, were there passwords like “IHATEISIAH” where you would get unlimited fireballs?

Since the storyline included finding friends to play with in the charity game, but apparently (according to the story) no players were credited with being in the game, does that mean that Jordan was just saving guys like John Paxson and Brad Sellers?

Depressing that no one has ever, EVER won that game, because Brian Williams is still missing.

In Shaq’s game, did you have to fight Charles Barkley and Brad Miller? Did Kobe make an appearance as the bratty teenager wearing skates (a la Skate in Streets of Rage 2)?

Was the bad guy gang called the Queens?
