The US release of NBA Live '96 for the SNES offered a similar experience to its European counterpart, with updated rosters reflecting the 1995-96 NBA season. Developed by Electronic Arts, this version likely featured the same core gameplay mechanics and improvements seen in the European release. Given the technological limitations of the SNES hardware, the focus remained on delivering a fun, fast-paced basketball game despite any graphical limitations compared to other platforms or later installments in the NBA Live series.   While specific differences between this and the European version may be minor, both aimed to provide an engaging basketball simulation on the SNES.
