This is all well and good, but you play this game for the insane dunks and hope to hit 3 shots with one of your players while the defender does not score. You can throw elbows to clear space around you (Bill Laimbeer and Charles Barkley would be proud of these swinging limbs) and are capable of flipping behind the back passes to your teammate. You can amp these options up, doing some fancy dribbling to try and ankle-break your defender. Offense consists of dribbling, passing and shooting. Defense consists of soaring ridiculously high in the air to block shots, or to try and steal the ball – or to simply shove the ball handler in an effort to knock them down and take the ball, or maybe knock them out of the air on a shot or dunk attempt (which sort of reminds me of Arch Rivals now that I think about it). I imagine most people have at least seen or played a round of NBA Jam in one form or another over the years, but for the uninitiated it is an over the top 2 vs 2 arcade hoops game. I may have to look that one up for my Retro Reflections this weekend. We still have a version of it bouncing around on one of our Nintendo systems – I want to say our Super Nintendo. It was a quarter muncher in the arcades, and it was a blast when it was brought to home systems.

NBA Jam has been around for aged – I remember it from late high school/early college. Thankfully, EA had another NBA game in the works, and while it does not try to contend with 2K as a realistic sports simulation, NBA Jam is a game that brings back a lot of memories while being a whole lot of fun.

For the last several years, 2K sports has been releasing an NBA series that has been receiving better reviews and sales. 🙂ĮA Sports did not get around to releasing its “EA Elite” basketball series (based off of its longstanding “Live” series) this year. Seats were high, Pistons got drilled – but it was still a load of fun, so NBA is my theme this weekend.

Got free tickets to a Pistons/Heat game last night.
