NBA Live 96 — About this game
NBA Live 96 turns basketball into a compact contest of court position, passing lanes and shot selection. Move the ball toward an opening rather than shooting immediately through a defender, then get back to protect the basket when possession changes. The Game Boy presentation uses NBA team identities and player numbers, with exhibition, season and playoff play offering different lengths of competition. Time and rule options let the game fit a shorter session, while steady offense still depends on making room for a good attempt.
