NBA JAM is the basketball game for those who love videogames. Sure, the other, "more realistic" basketball games have become
more popular, but the type of basketball game that arcade minded gamers loved to play has seemingly dissipated along with the
hardcore fanbase.

Until now! No longer will you have to abide the laws of physics or the abilities of the human body. You play as you want. You want
to shove a player out of the way? Send him to his mama. You want to elbow this ugly guy next to you? Carve him a new mouth.
Want to dunk this ball? Put it on fire, break the basket! Make awesome (and glass) rain upon spectators!

Play 2-on-2 games, 1-on-1 boss battles, elimination, HORSE, and more! Unlock easter eggs and special players! Complete with
fully digitized players! NBA JAM does what basketball doesn't!


Available now for Wii, 360 and PS3!​

*Contrary to the opening post, Willy105 does not confirm Obama and Kotick will be in the game. However, Obama is in the game.​

[seady]

I want to play this game, but EA is using every way possible to keep me from buying it.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Still peeved at the lack of Reggie.

 

[Brofist]

The Magic get Shaq, ouch.

Well he is still probably the best player the franchise has ever had. Of course legends means it'll be the in his prime backboard breaking version.

 

[AwRy108]

Worth noting, people: full version is now coming to both PS3 and 360.

BOOM SHAKA LAKA

Actually, why isn't this in the title

 

[snesfreak]

I still haven't decided if I'm gonna buy this, I'm pissed off at EA for RE4ing Wii owners.
It's one of the only sports games I like.

 

[WillyFive]

Actually, why isn't this in the title

I thought it was overdone. So I just put in Boom instead.

[KilgoreTrout]

Bought x 50.

 

[Threi]

will get

what system? i have no fucking clue.

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

Will definitely buy the 360 version. Had my heart set on the Wii one, but once it was announced for the other two, it was a no brainer.

you're welcome

 

[The Technomancer]

:lol :lol :lol Love Kotick and Obama

 

[-PXG-]

Can't wait for this.

 

[IsntChrisL]

Is this launching at $50 or $40?

Gamestop.com says $50.

Sad that they gimped both versions. I'll probably end up getting the PSN version when it becomes available (at a likely much cheaper price).

YES.

 

[The Technomancer]

So I don't follow basketball: why wasn't Jordan a shoo-in for the Legends?

 

[VeryGooster]

So I don't follow basketball: why wasn't Jordan a shoo-in for the Legends?

He's in NBA 2K11.

 

[The Technomancer]

He's in NBA 2K11.

And that's a conflict or something?

 

[Ridley327]

And that's a conflict or something?

He's always had control over his own image and I'm sure 2K paid through the nose for it.

 

[snesfreak]

It's ridiculous, EA has it's own online system, how the fuck could they NOT put it in the Wii version?

Spoiler

NBA JAM T.E. coming soon!

 

[T-Matt]

I wish Penny was on the magic legends.

One of the greatest RPG's of our time.

As far as Jam goes I can't wait until next week. Bringing the old school back in a major way.

I'm glad that the Wii version can stand on it's own for a little while.

ALL PRAISE BE TO JESUS BYNUM!!!

 

[fberger]

can´t wait for this game !!! day one !!!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

And that's a conflict or something?

NBA Jam = EA
NBA 2K11 w/ Jordan license = 2K

 

[truly101]

I'd actually like NBA street to come back, as long as its like Vol 2. I may get this. I loved NBA jam back in the day.

 

[Busaiku]

No President Obama, no sale.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Hey, Chris Webber should be a King's legend and where's Reggie Miller and Sir Charles?

Don't tell me they're licensed by TNT!

Anyway, Nintendo Power gave this a 9. Looks good.

Charles has always needed a separate license, along with Jordan. In fact, that's likely the main reason for the largest Jordan-related omission in 2K11 (Barkley and the 92-93 Suns are the only Jordan-related Finals team missing).

About fuckin' time I had my own official thread.
