This game is fire!! Loving reliving my childhood. So far I like running with the Dubs, Bobcats (S.Jack is water), Bulls, and my sleeper pick Minnesota. Pure fun over here.

Glad you guys enjoying it... can't say I didn't warn you how much fun the game is.

I'm not sure what happened with my order but I will just end up relenting and picking this up at my local game store. Hopefully they have it in stock!

Doh! You guys are tempting me. I have $40 in store credit at Gamestop. Wife is out of town for two days starting tomorrow... Gaming marathon coming up?

Haven't had this much fun with a game in awhile, this game is well done. Very impressed with some of the sig jumpers lol, wasn't really expecting that and just the overall feel of the game is great.

I can't beat G-Wiz and Manute Bol though, The Wizards mascot is unstoppable! this guy takes one dribble and takes off! Alot of hilarious moments last night playing with my friends. One of my boys was tryna give me **** for getting trashed by a mascot I handed him the controller and he proceeded to give up 34 points to him in 2 minutes. Hilarious.

Go it. So annoyed with delivery but Jam will be mine once again. Missed playing this since I first tried it out... and curious to see what the differences are, if any.

Does anyone know if they fixed the bug where you can goaltend shots and get away with it while on fire? It used to be that goaltending would be called.

^ I'm not sure but in the original you could goaltend while on fire and it was awesome.

I played my first few games last night and only saw like two guys on fire (which didn't last more than a possession) in like 5 games. I read someone here say being on fire doesn't even help much, which would be a huge disappointment for me.

I felt like the controls are a bit sloppy and unresponsive in my games last night but maybe it was me just not being used to them.

Lots of fun though, as expected. The sega version took up a bunch of my time when I was super young.

Also I noticed there is no halftime "show." I always enjoyed the Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant highlights on Sega.

Lots of game modes though. But I didn't like the camera view in the Boss, Domination, etc modes.

I quit my classic campaign after winning a few games last night, no idea if I can resume it at any point.

And lastly, I didn't see a way to look at my user stats for my initials or whatever. Like record vs CPU or H2H. Did see user records i.e. most points, most blocks...but really want to know my overall win/loss

Goaltending is called but you keep being on fire until the ball actually goes through the basket.

Aww man that's whack. I told them to fix that.

Re: EA Sports NBA Jam Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

has anyone played with a guard as their teammate? Monta Ellis just shot 14% for me because everything he shot got blocked because HE RELEASES THE BALL ON THE WAY DOWN.

Whats the point of using a guard teammate if they can't shoot outside of dunks, and can't block on defense?

Is there a way to get them to release the ball at the top of their shot? If not....major flaw.

Durant is a BEAST in this game.

Yes I was using the Bulls and I was Noah and the CPU was Rose. He did ok from what I recall.
