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.

NBA Street, Ballers No More
While the NBA once considered giving out an exclusive license they decided against it, instead choosing to keep the competition and have multiple games available. In addition they gave EA and Midway the right to put out arcade style basketball games in alternate years. For the arcade games that is about to change. Midway is struggling as a company and is now attempting to buy itself out of the licensing deal. That isn't as surprising as the news that EA Sports is putting the Street series...
