![DUNKS EVOLUTION IN BASKETBALL VIDEO GAMES [1984 - 2023]](/img/1.gif)
I'm proud to say I played every incarnation of these games. And yes... I was impressed by the very first ones. Although some stood out more than others.
Dr J vs Larry Bird I paid .50 cents for at a Big Lots in the late 90s. I can't imagine how much it would go for now. It was actually a different version of what you see here. It was very smooth & played well on my Atari 7600. Way ahead of it's time & more in line with Double Dribble or NBA live 95.
Double Dribble was the first game to have cutaway scenes when you dunked. You could dunk from the 3 point line if you did it from the bottom or top of the screen. Otherwise free throw dunks were possible from the foul line. This game was PEAK basketball when it dropped.
Bulls vs Lakers/Blazers & the NBA Playoffs Series - This started the "modern" basketball trend. The way I saw it was the programmers who went to EA started putting stars on the players so you could control them. The "B" button became standard to switch players. All the things that ended up in "Madden", Live, MVP Baseball, etc, & then ended up in the 2K series - started here in what was called "EASN."
NBA Jam: Still to this day the greatest basketball Arcade game ever made. We spent many hours at Tony's deli playing this. Also I used to know all the codes, JOR, or BBBBB, would unlock certain things in the game. If you had Tournament Edition on the SNES you had to beat all the teams once, & then after that, things got MUCH harder. You had to play a PERFECT game - or else you lost. This was the era of the game cheating to win at all times. At my peak I don't think anyone could have beaten me at this game.
Run & Gun: I loved this game at the time but it had a short shelf life. It played hard in the Arcades but the SNES port was weaker. I still played it a lot - however it lost popularity due to the weak port & died on the vine. I still miss those days & played it as recently as last month on emulators.
NBA Live 95: This was THE GAME. Ask anyone. You'll see it in the comments. Basketball had ARRIVED in all it's glory. I played it for hundreds of hours. All my players were custom, from whatever school I said so. I averaged 200 points a game & had 6'10'' Behemoth pounding the Power Forward glass. I had a 5'7'' white haired guy with a 99 slam dunk as a PG. Jordan rode the bench as my 2 alter egos (1 all 99's & 1 with more realistic stats) dropped tons of points - 1 averaging 60 points a game. This was the beginning of the end for me though as other games just all started to look alike.
NBA Street: This game kept the spirit of NBA Jam alive with updated Playstation graphics. We played this for a little bit but by this time all the games were starting to merge & there were too many brands doing too little things.
NBA 06: The PS2 was on top of the world & I remember having MVP 05 & NBA 06. Some would call this the golden era of sports games because even Madden 06 is remembered as a great year. MVP Baseball was the best game ever (All due respect to the Griffey's). Then you had NBA 06. A masterpiece that basically every game is based off of today. You could call plays, use special abilities, make trades, draft players. I had a lot of fun with that game. Steve Kerr saying "That shot is unconscionable - only a young Jon Starks would take that." when you would pull up to the line on a fast break would kill me. Starks is my favorite player - but for Kerr to then turn the Golden State warriors into a logo shooting fast break team would prove him a hypocrite.
You'll notice every other game after this is pretty much a carbon copy of each other with zero innovation. I had a ton of hope for video games in the late 90s. Now they all look the same. I guess we were spoiled.
Bro literally wrote an essay 😂
Comprehensive response. Legit.
Im 48 and have played about every system and basketball game that's came out,to me the funnest ones were Coach K for Genesis and the 2K series was amazing on Sega Dreamcast...but I still prefer Madden,from the beginning when a player would get hurt and then killed when the ambulance rode over him all the way to today's Madden...good memories
Booked my 2 weeks vacation to finish reading this :)
I agree with most of what you said. Dr J seemed a bit different than what was seen. Dr. J would do a Statue of Liberty dunk and Bird could shoot 3s. Bulls vs Lakers had special moves like Jordan’s reverse layup or Karl Malones 2 handed dunk. We used to make players with Afros on nba live 95 so you would have a full lineup of ballers with Afros lol. Live 99 was the better live and I played that one the most with my friends. Run and gun was a interesting arcade game that I agree the home port just didn’t live up to the arcade.
Fun fact: Everytime these games were released we used to say “the graphics are amazing!”
Now gamers are so refined "good graphics" is referred to as "art style". I'm going to review games and keep it old school(5th grade to be exact). "The games got good grafix. It's awesome. The other game is for dorks." ✌️ And then as I walk through a doorway jump up and slap the top of it as if doing so validated my claim of being NBA bound. Like 🙌 💥 🤷 See?! Toldja..
I remember seeing my friend play his PlayStation 1 for the first time and (being very high at the time) declaring that video games graphics had "peaked" 🤦🏾
sssssssssssssssss
The best game 🎮 🙌 👌 💙
@@dogsandyoga1743 N64 and the original Playstation was HUGE as a kid (35 now), spent a LOT of time playing both between my friend having the PS and me the N64. Played Dreamcast with same friend when that came out later too which was an even bigger deal.
im 40 years old and played many of these games when they came out and let me tell you young ppl something funny, these games look horrible to you now but back when a lot of these games first came out, they looked so realistic to us. 🤣 im laughing so hard looking at the graphics of these games. you guys have it made today. this was a great trip down memory lane
Yup and those were the good times young bucks out here will never know how awesome those times were
@@gearswitch8193 yea. Our video games weren’t good like they are now, but we had it better back then because we were connected to our communities before the internet. We had to go outside and play. The games are so good now, the kids don’t want to go outside anymore. That’s the downside of the evolution of technology
Facts...im 40 too & in here rolling. Like damn what happen to my Bartman poster and my still Army men toy figure 🤯😱🤣
@@mr.bond2023 Yeah a punishment back then was. Act up in school it's an a$$ whooping and ur not going outside to play. Gotta continue that game of tag from yesterday cause you were It 🤣🤣
@@gearswitch8193 and in 10-20 years those "kids" will be saying the same thing about these "new games."
Good thing about these old games is you could just pick up the controller, play and have fun, and then move on with your life. Nowadays, you're paying and then paying more, and playing and then playing more, and it's a 6-12 month commitment just to casually enjoy the game. That's great for those who are committed, but we've lost something along the way. Either way, "kids" play the games so they're doings something right.
As for me, I appreciate the simplicity and fun those 90's games in particular brought. Some of their gameplay is just as rewarding than these newest games, if not more.
NBA Live 95 will always have a place in my heart
Kevin Garnett
I still have it
To me, THAT'S the one that changed everything
@@camrencross645 agreed. The gameplay was so much smoother compared to all the ones like Bulls vs Lakers, which were so clunky and frustrating.
Agree. Same here
The miraculous thing is at the time each of these games came out they were the ish
Ikr
Except for Live 07.
@@LB14745 I think that's fair. I'll give you that. I enjoyed live 07 when it came out but there was PLENTY more to be desired lol
@@bbryant9455 I meant the 360 version, it was totally messed up. Animations were terrible, and players couldn't even run like humans.
Not Bill lambier’s combat basketball
Ultimate Basketball and Street Hoops my favorites...
2k2 for Dreamcast had the most fluidity of gameplay in that era. Both Dreamcast Football and Basketball were cutting edge, such a highly underrated system.
i never had a dreamcast but yeah, that one looks and probably plays better than a lot of ps2 games
Dreamcast was definitely my favorite
The ball hitting the camera was epic.
Definitely that Dreamcast one was very unique from the rest of the pack
So true, the Dreamcast was a beast but without money sega can’t hold the competition with Sony.
I remember seeing Run and Gun 2 in arcades. I use to think that spin move was the realest thing in the world
Loved that game
The animation and gameplay was way ahead of its time. The first in the series is a classic as well.
Man they just needed The real players. And I don’t think that was on any of the major consoles. Just arcade.
I remember playing Jordan v Bird, Lakers v Celtics, NBA live and NBA shootout 98. Then I stopped playing games and went back in 08 with 2k and still playing 2k to this day. Such great memories and the games today are unbelievable.
nba live 2001 was my first nba i played
It was NBA Live from 95 to 2000. Then 2k started the takeover. Dreamcast really got it right with those. Took a couple years to get em going, but it was on.
95-08
Wasn't saying the years live existed, was saying what was popular/actually good
Man I remember playing a lot of the old games but I was in love with NBA Jam T.E. and NBA Live '95 - '97
NBA LIVE 95 !!! Yes.
I wish they'd bring back the live games. Something about them.. I always thought they looked better than 2k games. And deep enough gameplay to not get bored like w straight arcade style hoops.
NBA live 95 slow motion dunks..♥️♥️
BUUHHH! the FOUL sound! Remember you could run and HIT opponents with TWO hands forward like a double fisted punch or push? I used that CHEAT heaps when i was a teen. PUNCH sound at 14:29-14:33
While realizing that Slam Dunk is an old cartoon, I suddenly realized that I was an old person who had fun playing games from 1995.
NBA hangtime got US hooked to the N64 for weeks. Even as non Americans. Gameplay was just perfect.
As a part Japanese guy, thank you for including Slam Dunk (9:10, 9:30, 10:33, 11:36) as I played two of the four listed. But regardless, if anybody doesn't know Slam Dunk, it is the best and most popular anime in the history, coinciding with the Bulls dynasty and popularizing the sport in Japan. That anime/illustrator needs to be enshrined to Basketball Hall of Fame.
I hope everyone knows Sakuragi and his gang, the best manga of all time ;)
@@VGE Indeed. And a manga with many life-lesson storylines and moments 😉
Sakuragi and Rukawa are the greatest. Kuroko's Basketball just doesn't compare
Sup fellow Slamdunk fans
Slam Dunk is AWESOME, BABY!
EVERYTIME I see videos like this it always snaps me back into the mindset of just how spoiled we have become with graphics. I see kids complaining all the time about graphics in newer games… QUIT COMPLAINING and be happy we get to see how incredible the graphics jump every few years
i'm 45 and remember most of these game. everytime a new game caneout i thought this is as good as it gets. my favorite was techmo super nba basketball for super nintendo. thanks for making this video, this old man felt like a teenager again
1986 double dribble looked really good for 86 looks like a nice Indy game or something props to that development team
LMAO...they should've shown the national anthem. Still hilarious all these years laters.
I loved double dribble as a kid.
Double Drible was the sh*t, hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer got my friend for $20 bucks back in the day lol
I always played against my older brother.
I kind of wish they showed the NES version of Double Dribble. I'm more familiar with that than the arcade version.
NBA Street Vol 2. was damn near perfect. I was an NBA Live guy, but I worked at 2k Games during the development of 2k4 and 2k5. The shot stick, the crossover on the stick, a lot of the stuff we put in the game then is still there today. :)
Sweet what was it like working on game's
Live 95 was the game changer for me. It was the first game I could remember that had the full NBA roster and they introduced that unique camera view and the spin move. We wore our Sega Genesis out. 😂
You sure about that? No Jordan in that. Player 99
@@VETERANMASTER So? What's your point? Everyone knew Player 99 was Jordan. his actual name and picture not being in the game changed nothing.
Tecmo Super NBA basketball on SNES had full roster including Jordan. Even had Magic although he retired before game came out.
@@CC-rb1yf but the character looked all the same, didnt they?
I remember thinking how awesome and realistic the graphics on NBA Live 95 were. Obviously looking back on it now, not so much :D
Seriously, NBA Jam changed the game when it came out. It was so good. And I played hundreds of hours on NBA Live 95 and 96. They all seemed so good at the time
NBA JAM in the arcade was the best. The graphics and it was 2vs2 made it so much fun. NBA jam and virtual fight in arcade version were my addiction while my friends were drinking and on drugs. Lol
My mates and I played the hell out of NBA JAM TOURNAMENT EDITION. Score 2 in a row ...”He’s heating up ..” score 3 in a row ...” HE’S ON FIRE ! “ and the net burns 🔥...a 90’s Classic for me
I loved NBA Jam, NBA Give n' Go, and NBA Street Volume 2. Double Dribble on NES was my first.
I like how some games in the 70's and early 80's looked better than some games in the late 80's and 90's
Just like movies too lol
True 😂 that’s crazy
Because the technology is wasn’t as good…early on they were focused on looks but the gameplay wasn’t as deep nor was the performance as good. But later when they were trying to improve on physics and gameplay the graphics took a little hit until they upgraded the software
Its because you were probably comparing the arcade games to older console games.
Not even close
Man watching this video and seeing 10+ basketball games a year coming out compared to the 1 a year we get now really makes me appreciate what we had back then.
It really tells you how much the times have changed. Can anyone today
afford to buy the ten games released in today's world? The investment
in the games were time consuming, and companies really gambled on
developing a game that had to pass the grade A status of playability.
They could afford to jockey for the top spot of developing games. Not so
for today's market. I guess EA won the game wars. They pretty much
dominate today's sporting venue. I noticed they did not carry the Bird vs
Jordan for the Colecovision system. You could shatter the glass with a
backbreaking dunk. Loud as hell when you did so. You could keep the
house up all night playing that game. lol!
It's really a metaphor for what's happening to the video game and entertainment industry. Power is being consolidated to a few powerful companies. They basically own the country.
Tecmo NBA Basketball was my second basketball game (Double Dribble being the first) and that game STILL holds up today.
Jason Kidd doing a 360 at 21:47 took me out lol. So many memories with these games though, love it!
Right. Im like wtf
Shaq Imitating Jordan's Rock The Cradle Dunk Took Me Out LOL
Those early 'NBA Live' installments were so fun. Still remember going on fast breaks with two good dunkers where you would go up for a 360° dunk but throw an alley-oop to your teammate who would also do a 360 and dunk it...good times. lol
I just love seeing games from the past. Some are better than the newer ones ngl. Great video!!👏🙂
7:58 the M.J. in flight is WAYYY before time..
So true. Graphics got better but the direct control and motion got lost. I loved nba live back in the 90s and early 20s
I'll never forget the first time I played NBA street. It was the first PS2 game I ever played and it BLEW my mind. I miss being amazed/excited by things.
It's amazing how sports games went from simple button gameplay, like that seen on the Nintendo, to more advanced presentation styles and real time physics after the PS2 and Xbox. Lol, the NBA 2k series on the Dreamcast looked so realistic when it came out. Everyone I knew couldn't drop the controller, we were so in awe at how good it looked. Now there's the PS5, damn time flies.
Street Hoops was such a good game! Perfectly captured the culture of early 2000s basketball. I’m pretty sure you would play on famous street courts across the country and one of them was the Run N Shoot in Atlanta we used to go to irl!
Can confirm. I'm a former street baller who hooped at the real Run n Shoot a few times. But I can see why people who didn't get into the And1 mixtape scene wouldn't want to play it.
believe it or not, I still play it nowadays hahaha
Im 42 and started playing on Atari as a small kid. Double Dribble on NES, then Lakers vs Celtics, Bulls vs Blazers also on Sega. Then came NBA Live and NBA Jam. Once we got to 2K it was a wrap. They put the basketball games on lock. March Madness was okay because of Dick Vitale. 2K in 06 was the demise of the rest. I started on Xbox and went to Playstation and never looked back.
i loved the Nba In The Zone series
especially when they added the 3point contest and slam dunk
I watched this video just to see that
Literally my entire childhood. All starting with Lakers vs Celtics.
yeah, loved Lakers versus Celtics and the NBA playoffs, i wish it showed the Genesis version though 😊
1992 NCAA Basketball was the first 3D basketball game and blew my mind when I was just 15 years old. The Cheater Team was Georgetown since they had both Dikembe Mutumbo and Alonzo Mourning.
Man I cant lie...the 90s were the golden years of basketball game innovation. Wish it could go back to that level of progress 🤦♂️
Double Dribble 🤣🤣🤣
Amen to that, the healthy competition kept everyone on their toes.
NBA JAM at the arcade in the mall. Back when that was the only place that had Chick-fil-A. Heaven
@@inertiaspinner555 when NBA Jam first hit the arcades it was absolutely electric.
Lol it wasn't the competition that caused that level of growth. It was, and has always been logarithmic growth. In the early sages of development, it was easy for it to grow because it was new and there was so much they haven't done, but we're at the stationary part of the logarithmic graph. Video game developers have done so much already that it takes a TREMENDOUS amount of work and development just to improve it a teensy bit.
I’m 48… thank you for the ride down memory lane. Great evolution…
0:54 i cannot believe i saw gameplay of NBA 2k79
U mean 1979?
yeah,... by the way 2k means 2000 sherlock
Virtua NBA was ahead of its time. The graphics are insane and way better than the ones in the 2000s.
Run n Gun 2 in the arcade was an awesome experience
Double dribble and Tecmo Basketball where a huge part of my early childhood gaming!
NCAA basketball...
Who remembers Hewlitt (?) from off the bench for Kentucky. Half court shots all day ⌚️👈
Tecmo Super NBA Basketball on the Super Nes was the GREATEST game ever made for me. 😎🏀
Man TV sports basketball was so underrated. I remember editing all the rosters to the current rosters at the time. Full statistics. Ability to play a whole season. It was nuts.
Yes that was my favorite Bball game of all time because of how you could manage players and season. They said Commodore 64 on clip but I played on Amiga and that footage looked like Amiga. Such a fun game! Amazing how many Bball games have been made though!
28:55 College Hoops 2K8 Most under-rated basketball game ever, I remember there servers stayed up till like 2013
NBA Live 2003 was the reason i found love for basketball. I wish I could play it again, I tried everything, it won't run :/
Ultimate basketball nes will forever be the best basketball game in my head, the music, the cut scene for the dunk is etched in my mind.
NBA LIVE 95 was a Favorite of mine and NBA JAM💥💯💥
When you see it all in sequence, NBA Live 95 was so amazing for its time.
Nintendo really just tried to trick people into buying the wrong NBA Jam for a decade.
Double Dribble my first Bball game. 2K on Sega Dreamcast 1999 changed it forever. No competition since for 2K.
Started playing video games in 1982.......this is crazy.....just watched my whole life in 34 min.
Yo!! What a trip down memory lane. Friend's use to go at it in Coach K College Basketball, had soo many of these. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
Couldn’t u break the backboard in that? I always remember hearing that rumor
Arcades were always far above the consoles. Today...I guess there's a reason we see no arcades anymore. Consoles got really advanced above arcades right around when the Sega Dreamcast, Original XBOX, and PS 2 came around. Since then, the graphics and framerates exceeded arcades.
Wow!!!! For me..... it started with double dribble then it was Lakers vs Celtics then it was Live 95 then it was In the Zone then it was NBA2K... Damn how far we've come
NBA Steetz Vol.2 is still the greatest basketball game of all time.
Somebody said it so I ain’t have to
Best arcade basketball game of all time
I had it on Xbox and remember the music sounding awesome on top of the great gameplay! Made a big difference! Remember swatting off shots with Kevin Garnett!
All those nba legends and their signature moves!I remember there were secret moves that you couldn't unlock, like Dr. J's The Move
Stretch, Biggie Smalls, Whitewater , Bonafide. Classic game
Cool to see all the options we had to choose from to get our basketball fix back on the days. This video speed up once we got into the PS4 era.
Awesome vid!! I played many of these growing up. It is great to see video game basketball evolution!!!
NBA shootout series for ps1 was my sh!t ... I loved how the cam zooms in on dunks, layups, or blocks. And the players were bigger here than NBA live.
I’m an old gamer and me and my friends were BLOWN AWAY by Bulls vs Lakers and the NBA playoffs on the Sega Genesis in 1992. We thought we were in the future, 😆
I grew up playing Lakers v Celtics on DOS and Takin it to the Hoop or Turbo Grafx 16. Huge shout-out for showing both of em! And thanks for giving me a trip down memory lane 🙏
7:25 and 10:28 my all time favourites. Unmatched. what a time it was to be a kid in the 90's 😌
Never cared for the Jams. NBA Live 95 is my favorite.
BOOB SHAQ a LAKER!
Man these take me back to a great time in my life as a kid..
Couldn't begin to explain how epic Double Dribble was for it's time! Then NBA JAM Omg
IMO Run and Gun is the most underrated of all these games. It was the perfect mix of arcade and simulation for the time. It was NBA 2K ten years early.
30:37 someone definitely has the sliders up, he shot a 3 wit Shaq and made it 😂😂
NBA 2K7 was for special for me. It was the first bball game on the PS3. I was blown away from the graphics as a kid
NBA street home court was my first ever Basketball game..I was never a big fan of the NBA but man that game takes me back
Seeing makes me miss when we had more than one basketball game to look forward to coming out every year.
Run and gun (1993) and Street slam (1994) are still good games. 10 years ahead of their time!
Loved playing Dr. J vs Bird on my Atari 800 and Double Dribble in the arcade.
Never knew there was an Inside Drive 2000, I thought it started with 2002 on the Xbox
my first basketball video game was Double Dribble. It was released in 1986 but I started playing in 1992 when my father bought our first Nintendo family computer. My favorite at the time was Super Mario Bros, Adventure Island and Battle City. From then on I was crazy about video games and been playing NBA Live 1998 up to 2008. I've played tons of basketball video games but when I happen to play NBA 2K9 in an internet cafe, it's over. It's beyond expectations. NBA 2k def is the dopest basketball video game ever to date, in my own experience per se.
I remember when live 95 came out and thinking this is the most amazing thing ever. Looking back at it now I can’t believe I was so impressed
Bruh, we have come a loooooong way with these games. Double Dribble; NBA LIVE SERIES; 2K SERIES after the 2010's.
1986s Double Dribble seems to be way ahead of it's time. Voices, character animation, colorful sprites...
I remember David Robinson Basketball. The two best players outside of Robinson were Bullseye Bond and Air Allnight.
Air all night was a beast lol 😆
I had the honor of play-testing One On One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird, back when Electronic Arts had around 65 employees. Got paid $5 per hour to play video games for two summers. Dream job for a teenager! Saved up my money and bought a Mac 512K. Those were the days, my friend. EDIT: You forgot a game- 1995's Slam N Jam for the 3DO system.
In my teenage years all we played was NBA 2k and NBA live . I don't remember the other basketball games from the 90's
NBA Live 95 and Coach K are classics. I remember I wanted the Scottie Pippen game
Amazing video! To say you took me back is an understatement
NES FAVS:
Double dribble
Arch rivals
Kerr was unstoppable on shootout 98
It’s amazing that during the 80s, 90s and early 2000s we had such a vast selection of sports games to choose from in each genre, good or bad. Now it’s just a choice between 2 and they’re not great.
Thanks so much for this! Double Dribble, Live 95, and 2K2 hold a special place in my heart. The nostalgia 😌
I spent so much time playing Lakers vs Celtics 1989. Miss those days!
2007 was when we finally saw and felt fluidity in the basketball games
Street Slam,Nba Jam 2010 (the commentator Tim Kitzrow was amazing in this game),Hoops 96,Run and Gun 1 and 2,Nba Street vol.2 and vol.3 are superb but Nba Jam Tournament edition Arcade (1995) is still my favourite.Boomshakalaka!
Man it was great that there were so many options back in the day and now adays you have basically one game for each of the major sports
NBA 2k came in with a bang in 2000. NBA courtside and inside drive were very underrated for their times. Stree Vol. 2 was insane. EA NBA Live took the rain in 2004. NBA Live 06 was revolutionary to me. 2k definitely took over in 2008 and never looked back.
Top 5 games
NBA Street Vol. 2
Live 06
2k10
2k16
2k3
NBA Live 95 looks revolutionary 😊😊😊😊
I’m from 1980 blessed to see it all and I have most of these great games I know everyone hates on sports games but they are good
NBA streets… Street hoops… the street all days man…. what a time to be alive
It started to get better by 2002. Once 06 hit the graphics started getting better and better
Man the memories this video brought back. This was dope
NBA Street vol. 2 still one of the best sports games ever.
Hoops, In the Zone and Streets had the Best Dunk packages and Action experiences
i've played so many of these games..ive been gaming since the atari 2600. Run N Gun is still probaly my favorite basketball game of all time
Double dribble will always be my fav
Double dribble will always hold a special place in my heart..the corner 💣 3 is legendary.
