EA Sports NBA Jam Confirmed

Today EA Sports has made it official that they have purchased the rights to NBA Jam and are developing a new take on the classic game. The revamped NBA Jam is stated to be Wii exclusive with no release date set although there has been some talk (and certainly hope) it will eventually find its way to the 360 and PS3 also.

Featuring gameplay that is true to the original, NBA JAM will have players spinning with ankle breaking moves to the basket and on the way to high-flying, backboard-smashing dunks. In addition to the classic experience, EA SPORTS NBA JAM will also introduce new game modes, characters and gameplay depth.

The website has launched and on it you can currently vote for what three players will make the roster for each team. At the moment polls are open for Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Clippers, and Oklahoma City Thunder. Given that the countdown clock is providing a week for voting for the three teams the game appears to be at the very least three months away from releasing.

I am a big fan of American <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/sportsindex
">Sports and regularly read blogs associated with sports from NFL, NBA and NHL to international games like soccer. I am very particular about which sites I use, but this is really nice one...

Didn't they already have an arcade basketball franchise.........................................called NBA Live!

Way to make sure this sentiment is overstated....

What a waste of time and energy.

So happy but, WTF? no 360, or ps3 BS. Wii sucks!!!!!1 I do have one tho so may pick this up. just as long as it's not some dumb BS like madden is on it. just bring back to old nba jam good stuff.

Skihawks

I wonder if Arch Rivals will find its way to the current generation of consoles...Other classic arcade sports games I would like to see available for all consoles:

1) John Elway Football -- I dropped major coinage into this machine
2) Double Dribble
3) Baseball Stars (not sure if SSK is owned by Nintendo)
4) NHL Rivals (I think that is what it was called...2-on-2 hockey)
5) RBI Baseball (Again, another title made popular on Nintendo's home system)....

Skihawks

As long as they don't try to make this another NBA Street game and keep to Jam's roots....I wouldn't mind a graphical upgrade with the game's core play with the original arcade version available within the game....

You know they could just give me the original NBA Jam and Add it to the PS store for about $7 and I would deffinetely buy it, easy money!

...

See this is what is wrong with Ea sports, instead of make a better gameplay out of ncaa basketball 11 they go out and re do a decade old arcade game!

GoMagic

you mean this is whats right with EA, right? abandoning a game no one cares about (and no one buys) and putting resources to a franchise that was one of the top arcade games ever.

yea...what HORRIBLE business sense. :/

okafor43

This game Nba Jam is decades old now people like sim basketball reason being why There live series have sucked it up for the longest...wait let me guess you play that also...but the ncaa basketball is a game I like for the college fans that still exist and would hope they actually put something into the game so it can actually sell!!!

GoMagic

Arcade Sports is still a huge genre. And not enough people buy NCAA Basketball so why bother with it. Just get College Hoops 2k8 and update your roster every season like everyone else.

okafor43

I dont want to update my season in college like evrybody else does I want a decent college game like college hoops 08, i would be fine if they released the same college hoops 08 engine every year and just updated the rosters and jerseys and new div 1 teams . and arcade genre in sports is not hot sorry to tell you that.

Ok first off NBA Jam was truly a great game in its day but the return of this franchise as a wii exclusive is probably a great move.

Lets not forget PS3 and Xbox 360 had the NBA Street franchise which was an awesome game and EA just kicked it to the curb. They also did that with the phenomenal SSX series also.

I really don't understand why two highly rated and revered franchises have been subjugated to the scrap heap. Perhaps fiscal restraints but both these franchises need to make a triumphant return. We don't need NBA Jam on the PS3 nor the 360.

Nba Jam will be out in October as Live 11.

HustlinOwl

They abandoned NCAA Baskeball 10 for this crap

russky

Wait wait, I think I played this game already this year. NBA Live Jam 2010

bhurst99

Kind of strange. I don't recall the original NBA jam being a big sales hit. Why bring it back just as a Wii exclusive?

...
