Play NBA In the Zone 2000 Online

Summary

NBA In The Zone 2000 rolls onto the Nintendo 64 as the series’ swan song, packing all 29 NBA franchises from the 1999‑2000 season and over 300 real‑life players rendered with motion‑capture animation. The cover sports Marcus Camby, and the in‑game commentary comes from NBA announcer Red Clay, giving each play a broadcast feel. I can jump straight into the familiar modes—Exhibition, Season, Playoffs—then switch to the three‑point shootout or the slam‑dunk contest for a quick arcade fix. The PlayStation version debuted in Japan as NBA Power Dunkers 5 on January 27, 2000, earning a modest 27/40 from Famitsu. Critics were harsh: GameRankings flagged the N64 and PS releases as unfavorable, with NextGen slamming the N64 version to a single star, while a handful of magazines offered mixed takes.
