NBA Live is a series of basketball video games, published by EA Sports. It is the successor to EA's previous NBA Playoffs and NBA Showdown series. Its main competitor is the NBA 2K series by 2K Sports and formerly Sega.
The predecessor of the NBA Live series was the NBA Playoffs series, which featured Lakers vs. Celtics, released first in 1989 for MS-DOS-compatible PCs and later adapted for consoles in early 1990 for the Sega Mega Drive. This game was played from a horizontal view (while later versions moved to an isometric view before ultimately moving to 3D on newer consoles). The game was one of the first to feature an NBA license, containing both real NBA teams and player likenesses and signature moves. Details such as Horace Grant's goggles are clearly visible, and Michael Jordan's "Air Reverse Layup" is animated with very high accuracy. Player numbers were also visible. The game featured only eight of the sixteen teams that qualified for the NBA playoffs that year, as well as both NBA All-Star teams.
There is no end to this spiral of pain
Walls get thinner and lines get erased
Mortal thoughts are mixed with him
Infixed and refined
I see more clearly what it all means
Tragic race, I'm part of this disease
Divine suffocation
Bring this world to an end
Raving masses, a gfrenetic breed
Passes thorugh life unseen
Humans dying and ask for bliss
To enter the heavenly scene
Over populated - heaven!
Garden of lust - turned into hell!
Your god is not awake
Broken
Dogma - your god has failed
No belief
God never was
No belief
Your creation crumbles and dies away
I am no longer chained, master
I am unleashed from there mortal thoughts
Satan is the name I see the future evolve with it!
I am the shield,
Impamiiz
I am the knife inside their dreams
I speak no human tongue
I travel paths obscene
Over populated - heaven!
Garden of lust - turned into hell!
There is no god
Your dogma is no longer
Speech is no longer an option
And action has had its course
No dreams just broken hope
