NBA Live 99 came out for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, a time when 3D sports games were really finding their footing on the console. EA Sports published it, and it was one of the main basketball titles you'd see next to the competing NBA Hangtime. The graphics were a step up from earlier attempts, with player models that looked more like their real life counterparts and smoother animation during fast breaks.

You control all five players on your chosen NBA team, switching between them on the fly to play defense or set up a play. The main goal is to outscore the other team within four quarters, either against the computer or a friend. A couple of its signature mechanics were the turbo button for quick bursts of speed and the isomotion dribble system, which let you perform crossovers and spins to get past defenders. The game moved at a fast pace, and the computer could be punishing if you took low percentage shots. It feels responsive and fluid when you get a fast break going and finish with a dunk.
