A classic NBA Live SNES, more realistic than NBA Jam, playable and smooth. Dated today but pleasant for 16 bit basketball.

Description
Official NBA basketball simulation with realistic mechanics and complete teams. Published by EA Sports, released in Europe in 1994. All licensed NBA teams and players from the 1994-95 season, realistic basketball mechanics and season and exhibition modes. First NBA Live on Super Nintendo.
The first NBA Live on the console, laying the foundations of a five-on-five basketball simulation more serious than the arcade games, with licensed teams and statistics. The tactical approach and readable court were valuable at the time, but stiff animation and relative slowness have aged poorly against current standards. Players return mainly for historical interest in the EA franchise. A dated sim, more for the retro-sport curious than the demanding player.
