Description

This game lets you play two-on-two arcade basketball with players from all the NBA teams. Gameplay is fast and action-packed, with special moves including SuperJam power-ups, wild celebrations and deliberately unrealistic jamming. Players are rated out of ten on eight ability categories, from steals and blocks to dunks and 3-pointers.

Up to four human players can take part, each always controlling a single player for their team, and AI for other players. This allows for four players to face each other in teams of two, or for two players to team up against a third player with a CPU team-mate.

This tournament version of the game adds an extra mode in which you have to defeat all the NBA teams to unlock extra players (2 extra players for almost every team). Once you have completed this, a higher CPU difficulty level is revealed.

Trivia

  • Originally Acclaim wanted to add players from the Mortal Kombat game as hidden players, but they had to be removed cause the NBA found them not suited to their image.

  • A legal issue prevented the name Michael Jordan making an appearance in the game. Look what Acclaim has done instead: Jordan's Bulls team-mate Ron Harper is the named player, but the picture is of Jordan.

  • Due to Charles Barkley's licensed game Shut up and Jam, he does not appear in the game
