NBA Live '21 (98)

One more Double Z Mod in all its 32-bit glory is here!

Get ready to razzle some dazzle with many of the greatest (and some questionable…) players from 1975 through 2025! Celebrating the last 50 years of basketball (and – in NBA Jam style – pop culture), NBA Jam 50 for PlayStation is a full art assets (portraits, heads, sound clips, etc.) update from the minds of Double Z and Wake that overlays the wackiness of those previous Double Z Mods on top of ponlork’s NBA Jam 2K22 engine. Get ready for some crazy mashups and matchups with the likes of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Bronny James, Steph Curry, Larry Bird, Vince Carter, Magic Johnson, Shaq, Allen Iverson, Chauncey Billups, Victor Wembanyama, and many more!

Do you BELIEVE in NBA Jam 50? You can’t see it till you play it, brother!

 

 

 

This is a roster update for the 2021-2022 NBA season. It is a fully functional game, but I consider it a beta/prototype because:

missing 3 teams--Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, and Toronto Raptors
missing 2 divisions--Southeast and Northwest ('22 Southwest is roughly equivalent to '92 Midwest)
player facial features and skin tones are often incorrect

📝 NOTE: Started learning how to hack this ROM, so at least the season dates are correct (2021-2022) throughout the game. It looks more official that way, and will be back ported to my previous season ROMs.
