I for one cannot wait as I was a massive fan of the game ... and one of the best players! I used to go to college next to a TimeZone and when the full-size arcade game appeared it almost blew my mind. Sure, it was expensive to play but it was the NBA and I couldn't get enough. My team was the Atlanta Hawks with Dominique Wilkins and Stacey Augmon and R O G became well known as the king of NBA Jam.
Soon after, it was released for Nintendo my friends and I used to play tournaments for cash and there were some great battles over the years. You have to remember that this was before we were old enough to go out or to drink so nights of pizza, mates and NBA Jam were awesome.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the new game is like and who the players representing each team will be. EA Sports are giving you the chance to have your say voting in players for some of the weaker NBA teams. Click on the title below to go to the website and have your say.
It would be great if they had "legends teams" or the "best of" teams. The Boston Celtics with Bird, McHale & Parish (legends) or the Lakers with Magic, Kobe & Shaq (best of) would be awesome!
