Features

NBA In The Zone '98 featured Glen Rice on the cover.[1] NBA In The Zone '98 (also known as NBA Pro 98 in Australia and Europe) featured NBA rosters from the 1997-1998 NBA season. As in previous In The Zone games, players such as Michael Jordan are not in the game and likenesses with generic names take their places. The game retains the "Create a Player" and season/playoffs features of NBA In The Zone 2.

The Nintendo 64 version supports the Rumble Pak.[2]

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the Nintendo 64 version of the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "The pace is slow (imagine five-on-five between two-legged tortoises played underwater), and control can be charitably described as 'mushy'. Add in a porous defensive AI and you've got the icing on a very blurry cake. Alas, it seemed so promising."[3]
