NBA Live 96

NBA Live 96 is the second instalment in EA Sports’ NBA Live series, developed and published by EA Sports, and the first NBA Live title on the PlayStation, introducing 3D-rendered courts and EA’s Virtual Stadium camera technology.

The database currently catalogues a single PAL variant, an Original release distributed across the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands. It is housed in the distinctive Full Jewel Black Bordered PAL case format associated with early EA Sports releases, with no hologram, on a single disc. The game is in English only. No loose paperwork or bundled demo discs are documented. NBA Live 96 features 29 NBA teams including the expansion Toronto and Vancouver franchises, with full season, exhibition, and playoff modes. The Black Bordered PAL case format is a notable physical detail for collectors, and as a single-variant five-territory release, this is a straightforward but visually distinctive addition for those tracking EA Sports’ early PAL output.
