Secrets

NBA Live 97’s development team threw their whole squad into the game. It’s pretty fun!

Programmer Cheats
  • Cheat Menu
    At the game setup menu, press L1, X(2), L1, X, Square, R1, X, Square, R1, Circle. Ignore the credits screen that may appear at this time. Hold Up-Right + Triangle + Square for five seconds. Then, press Start to load the game. Hold L1+R1+Up/Right+Triangle+Circle+Cross+Square until the cheat menu appears.
    • L1 and L2 adjust the player’s height (after a certain point they can no longer dunk).
    • Up and Down toggles Chameleon Mode, where your player will become garbled.
    • Start and Select will toggle the outdoor court. Note that each player is tied to a controller port. If you want to change all 8 players, you will need a multi-tap to reach players 3 through 8. Once settled, press Triangle + Cross to start the game.
  • View Credits
    Press Circle, Circle, Circle, Circle at the main menu. A really fun credits screen will appear with the dev team in jerseys and goofy stats
  • Michael Jordan On the Chicago Bulls Team
    Make sure Player No. 24 is in the line-up for Jordan to appear.

Development Team Roster Additions

Go to the “Create A Player” menu and enter one of the following names exactly as listed, pressing Start on the last letter of the first and last name. If successful, you will have an alert pop-up asking if you would like to confirm using the development team member. You can activate them as a Free Agent and not use up any of the Free Agent Slots. If you press Start and the name is spelled wrong, you will need to exit and start fresh.

For posterity, I’ve listed what they did in parentheses – as it’s shown in the game. No need to add that to the names.
