Played on a PAL copy of the game. NBA in the Zone (also known in Japan as NBA Power Dunkers and in Australia & Europe as NBA Pro) is a series of basketball video games released by Konami for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 video game consoles. Konami followed up the In The Zone series with the release of NBA Starting Five for the Xbox and PlayStation 2. The series started out with two releases on the PlayStation, including the original NBA In the Zone. After the release of NBA In The Zone 2 in 1996, the series started adopting a yearly naming scheme. The series also started to use NBA players to endorse the games and appear on the series' box art. Konami released three more games in this format for both Nintendo 64 and PlayStation, NBA In The Zone '98, NBA In The Zone '99 and NBA In The Zone 2000. NBA In The Zone '98 and NBA In The Zone '99 featured Glen Rice on the cover, while the 2000 game featured Marcus Camby. NBA In The Zone 2000 is a basketball game for the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation, it was released in November 1999. Players can play as any of the 29 NBA teams which feature more than 300 actual players in motion-captured animation, featuring play-by-play from NBA announcer Red Clay, and standard gameplay modes like Exhibition, Season, and Playoffs, a Slam Dunk Contest and Three-Point Shootout. Rob Smolka reviewed the Nintendo 64 version of the game for Next Generation, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "This game manages to eke out a score of one star only because our rating system doesn't go any lower."
