EA Sports has announced a PS3/Xbox 360 release date of November 17th (26th in the UK) for its upcoming game ‘NBA Jam’. At launch you will be able to play Classic 2-on-2 online, and in December 2010 the online features for the game will expand significantly with several major online features being delivered through a free title update.
This update will allow you to go online to compete in Remix Games, including classic arcade hoop games like Backboard Smash, Domination Free-for-All, Elimination, and 21. You will also be able to invite up to three online friends to play. Levelling up through a series of challengers and secret online JAM Challenges unlocks online exclusive rewards and hidden content.
There is still no mention of being able to go downtown.

Awesome. Only problem i have with this being that i have such very fond memories of nba jam, i really hope they’re not ruined. “he’s on fire!”

The Wii version has been getting high praise, so fingers crossed all is good.

Hopefully this is a PSN download for around £10. A full BR release would be too expensive.

I love NBA Jam it’s one of my favourite gaming memories from the Megadrive, but £29.99 disc release is flumping ridiculous
What started out as a bonus for NBA Elite 11 customers has now been bumped for a full release, because Elite was so impossibly shit EA would sooner have cancelled it than have it released is now £29.99
EA = robbing basterds
Saying that, it will be one of the best local co-op games you can buy

I thought this was only for people who bought the other basket ball game i cant remember the name of?
Wasn’t essentially a demo on a £40 game

Yes it was, but that game (NBA Elite 11) got canned for being crap, so this glorified demo is now being sold to us for £29.99 and the bits that make it a game are being released as free dlc at some unknown point in the future
