The courts are open for another round of slammin' and jammin'! The sights and sounds of NBA Jam Tournament Edition haven't changed much from the previous version, but the wild array of fresh options and game- play refinements make for a whole new game of hoops. With the depth and variety of Jam's new features, this game has enough staying power to challenge -- and please -- serious Jammers. All 27 NBA teams and a sharp Rookies team now offer three to five players per team, and the rosters are so current that Chris Webber even plays for the Bullets!
Although new hidden characters were reportedly included, none were available at press time. With the radical new options, players can delve deeply into the entertaining realm of fantasy b-ball with power-ups that deck everyone else on-court, enable you to jam from anywhere, and more. Bag a bucket from a hot spot to net anywhere from four to nine points or kick up the speed with the four Juice settings! Acclaim didn't forget the straight-up b-ball fans. Killer game-play refinements, like picking the ball off the rim, keep the action fast and furious.
The game's cranked-up speed means you'll have to work harder to bag threes or plant dunks. You'll need a microscope to spot the graphical improvements. The crowd now waves at you, and minor details like the scoreboard were reworked, but the well-detailed sprites still dunk and block with the same stiff, jerky animation found in the first Jam. Fortunately, the graphics were strong to begin with, and this bit game serves up a remarkable rendition of the arcade court.
Create openings by starting to shoot which should make your opponent block , then pass to your teammate before you release the shot. In the sound department, the announcer belts out a nice variety of new phrases, but the muddy sounds effects, especially the flat backboard bounce, fall short. The controls, however, handle well and feel comfortable. Despite the impressive additions, casual Jammers might find the action a bit too familiar to actually plunk down the cash.
Hardcore hoops fans, though, will face enough challenges to keep them dunkin' and bumpin' for quite some time with this strong arcade conversion. Guard the hot spots and let the opponent freely shoot two- and three-pointers.
Gun hard for the spots once you're on offense. Okay, I know none of you care what I say, because you're still going to buy the game. NBA Jam is a monster hit wherever it springs up despite the fact that the game sucks. This hasn't seemed to stave its increasing popularity, though, so I'll just tell you what you want to hear.
All the characters, codes, hot sound and off-the-wall hoop action are here for you to enjoy. The zoom effect is seamless and player faces are distinguishable. All in all, you won't feel ripped off when you pick up your copy of this overrated title. Rest assured that all of the cheap plays, inaccurate player profiles and repetitive, unintelligent strategies are packed into this little disc. That said, it is addictive as hell.
Jam's two-on-two arcade-style hoops action is fast paced and realistic. These versions will include picture-perfect replicas of the arcade graphics, complete with scaling and digitized pics of all NBA superstars in the updated roster. Watch for new hidden characters and a playable rookie team called the "Hot Spots.
Scaling of players has been incorporated, giving NBA Jam fans realistic on-screen movements of characters. As in real-life basketball, the closer the players get to the screen, the bigger they become. It's just like you're actually playing the arcade version without having to find the coin slot. Tournament Edition is loaded with features.
In the predecessor, you could only play one team versus another team. In TE, you can match up with the same team. Another big change that has been added is that you can rest your players after a quarter has expired. Here you may choose your clutch player to replace the injured guy. At the Options Screen, you can turn Tournament Modes on or off; Juice Mode; icons dunk from anywhere on the court, increased three-point ability and so forth or even Tournament Play.
These are some factors that make the game more challenging and enjoyable. Enter the tournament and see if you're good enough for the super team, but that's only when you've beaten all of the other teams. Expect tons of hints and tricks for this puppy. The later version had a large number of tricks: big heads, secret teams and so forth.
This is the closest you can get to the real thing. Just install the emulation software and play them on your computer. It's up to you to choose the best combination to get you started on the great adventure of retrogaming! We recommend you, if you start in emulation or if you are a novice in the matter, the following titles.
Here are some essentials that you must try because they have clearly marked their era and many players. Depending on where Durant, Irving, etc. If there are any current players that made moves in the past couple years that may deserve a second listing on their previous team, I'm open to suggestions.
I have a handful of teams with a 5th player available, maybe more as the free agents make those moves. Durant probably is another candidate regardless.
My plan is to only do this recent move clawback 5 or 6 times. Ahead of the free agency frenzy, I've allocated most of the slots to roster players or secret players, so the wildcard will be what becomes of the top free agents in the next couple months.
For now, here's a v1. At this point, there are at least players available to use, with more than of them from the season. Nice thing about modding it for SNES is you only have 16 face sprites to contend with Admittedly, a cop-out, since the heads do end up generic compared to more advanced systems or Hang Time. In that regard it leans more towards the arcade version being noticeably superior to the consoles, and there's more audio like Tim Kitzrow actually calling the names of players , as well as the video clips at halftime and full time.
It's kind of a buggy port in that there are weird bounces and deflections of the ball when it doesn't seem to have actually been touched.
There are other moments where the collision detection is a bit off as well, but apart from that it's the same game and a lot of fun.
The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely. Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
