I just don't like the way it moves. The dunks look alot stiffer than the original. Everything just looks extra stiff to me. There are more things that bother me, but mostly I guess it's my hatred for EA this generation that is making them stand out more, lol.

I guess thats possible but it looks like NBA Jam like to me

Im still not sold. I enjoyed that genre while it lasted though but I couldnt spend 50 bucks on a game like this

The first NBA Jam to have sleeves...LOL.

I would get tired of the game after 5 minutes...I guess I'm too much of a sim guy.

Where's the attempt to hard foul or block by the cpu? It doesn't look smooth as this old clip of Jam, and this is on better hardware, then the old Genesis/Snes days. Here's some Ambersol so you dont get a toothache.....bite away.

Having the game "stiff looking" was obviously a design choice. They wanted to stay true to the original as possible and keep the overall wacky feel of the game. They have another over the top NBA basketball game with more detailed graphics and better animation, it's called NBA Street.

Wait, never mind...

This is a teaser trailer for NBA JAM. Your complaining about defensive AI, in a teaser trailer for NBA JAM? I'm not going to need Ambersol for my tooth, although I'll probably need Tylenol for my headache after reading that foolishness.

C'mon son.

EA already has an arcade basketball game. It's called NBA Live.

Why are they making another one?

I agree.. the stiffness and how non agressive the cpu is to not trying to stopping you from dunking like it used to kills it for me.

I saw the trailer, thought it looked kinda cool... then I perused the NBA Jam site, and it doesn't look like they know at all what they're doing. I've seen nearly as many misspellings of names as the NBA Ballers site, and they have pre-trade deadline polls for who should be on the teams in the game. I think those who do play are going to have outdated rosters faster than NBA Street Homecourt (which had outdated rosters when it shipped).

The graphics are pretty cool, though. Are those actual player photos for the faces?
