NBA Live 97 is the third installment of the NBA Live video game series by EA Sports, released in 1996. The MS-DOS, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation versions featured polygonal models for the on-court players, thus marking it as the first 3D EA Sports basketball sequel for the series. It was also the first NBA Live title released for the Saturn. The game received mostly positive reviews for its advanced graphics and wide array of available moves and plays, though the Saturn conversion was reviled for numerous technical deficiencies. NBA Live 97 was followed by NBA Live 98 in 1997.
