$27 at Target on Black Friday. Count me in.

I got it on 360. Favorite sports game ever...silky smooth online.

So, does it have all of the modes like the Wii version?

I don't know what is on the Wii version...but I am under the assumption it has all of it plus everything online as well as a title update in December. Online is the smoothest sports games there is...no doubt about that.

Ah, awesome, I'll try and grab it if Amazon matches that.

Okay, I checked and the 360/PS3 versions contain everything. The "Remix Tour" was originally going to be exclusive to the Wii version. The HD versions were going to be free with NBA Elite (and offered later for download for what would likely have been $20 or less).

So is there anything unique in the game on the different systems? I assume the 360/PS3 versions have better graphics, but is there anything else?

Online play obviously. Otherwise, all the modes from Wii are here. It is a lot of fun.

Looks like that's only for Wii.

I wanna get this for the PS3, but I'll wait 'till it's considerably cheaper.

It looks like the PS3 version doesn't support the Move, but I suppose it could get added later since the control scheme was already designed for the Wii.

BTW, can this game be controlled with a D-pad? I'm wondering if it would be good with an arcade stick.

Good! That means I won't have my time wasted, sitting through the Move warning screen they force onto the game even if you don't have Move installed.

so the 360 version is worth $27?

After having played all three versions, it's amazing how much better the Wii version is than it's counterparts. Consider me surprised.

is the 360 version still fun and bring back the same mechanics of the old game?

Please expand on that.

I can't speak about the Wii version, but the 360 version is a ton of fun! It brings back the great feeling of the old arcade game. The game looks great in HD and it plays just as well as any other version I've played in the past.

I played online with 3 other folks and we had a BLAST! For $27, I can not see how you could go wrong!

The Wii version not having online play pretty much kills any urge to pick that version up!

thanks M. i'm just wondering if i can't wait for even more of a price drop. this seems destined to go to $20 in short time.

I've played the Wii version and the 360 version, and I think your screen-name is apt.

slop,
what r ur thoughts on 360 version? detailed if possible...

also, is there like a season mode that can be played by a single player...certain number of games to reach a championship or something? don't remember the old game too well.

thanks in advance.

Still love the 360 version. Best sports game ever with the least amount of issues.

On the 360 version, you have obviously a "PLAY NOW" type gameplay for just jumping in and playing.

You also get a "Classic Campaign" which basically is the classic 2v2 gameplay. You pick a team and you work your way through the 6 different 5 team divisions w/ boss battles as the 6th game in each division. The boss battles from what I've played are classic teamups from years past (i.e Ewing and Starks of the Knicks) and once you beat them, you unlock those characters for play in the different modes.

There are also a couple other campaigns that include the remix style of game types. These are like the Domination, 21, Elimination etc. You have to beat the different divisions of teams playing the remixed type games.

There is a Boss Battle section where you can replay the boss battles.

LIVE wise, the game pretty much offers the same game types available in the Single player, except over LIVE. You can party up with up another person and play co-op over live against other players or bring on two more friends and have some good old 4 player action over live.

Control wise, the LT or LB is your turbo, obviously Left stick is your movement and you can either use the Right Stick for your shooting/defense or use the buttons like in the arcade. I prefer the buttons. Gameplay though is pretty much the exact way it was in the past. Turbo, shoot, Dunk, lol...


If you loved the game in the past as much as I did, this game is absolutely everything I need or wanted in an NBA Jam remake. It doesn't bloat itself with too many modes, etc. You get the great core game w/ updated rosters, unlockable legends players and a few new game modes thrown in for spice and you get all that with LIVE capability. Even at $50 it was an easy buy that I haven't regretted yet.

Yeah, I don't own the games, but I played a couple rounds on each version and the 360 just controls better and feels better overall than the Wii version. Add in the online play and the more options, HD, smoother frame-rate, etc, etc. you'd be crazy to prefer the Wii version over the 360 version (or the PS3, which I'm assuming is just like the 360 version).
