ESPN Videogames have posted an interview with Trey Smith, creative director for EA Sports NBA Jam. Magic and Rodman screenshots included.
Jon Robinson: "Is Remix Tour still 2-on-2 but with bosses, or are these completely different games?"
Trey Smith: "Remix Tour was inspired by "Burnout". Classic campaign is a linear ladder tournament, but Remix Tour gives you the choice of where you want to go. You pick a team, then you start off in that division and you play each one of those teams. Each team has a gold, silver, and bronze challenge, so say you are playing against Boston, for instance, the bronze challenge is to win a 2-on-2 game with power-ups, only you're playing against Paul Pierce and Larry Bird. Then the silver challenge is a backboard smash game against Pierce and Kevin Garnett, a different way to play "Jam". Then the gold challenge is a boss battle against Larry Bird. Every one of those slots is going to be a surprise. You never know what to expect. Maybe you'll hop in and find 2-on-2 mini-men. Stuff like that. It's just us having fun, and once you unlock it, you can customize your experience however you want to play."
