The game also features the 1997-1998 rosters (with the exception of Michael Jordan, who was not in the players' association and was renamed "Roster Player #98"). There are three game options: Exhibition, Season and Playoffs. The game allows you to either simulate season games or play them to advance to the playoffs and win the NBA Finals.
