NBA In The Zone '98

''NBA In The Zone '98 had Glen Rice as its cover athlete. NBA In The Zone '98 used the 1997–98 NBA season rosters. Like with earlier In The Zone games, some players like Michael Jordan do not appear in the game but instead are replaced with likenesses and generic names. The game still features the "Create a Player" feature as well as season/playoffs as with NBA In The Zone 2''. New features in this installment include on-the-fly play calling and team strategies. The Nintendo 64 version supports the Rumble Pak. ==Reception==
