How to Play NBA Jam
Quick start
Choose an NBA pair and outscore the opponent in fast two-on-two play. Hold turbo to sprint, pass before the defence traps the ball handler, and combine turbo with shoot while moving near the basket for a dunk. Make three consecutive baskets without the other team scoring to go On Fire with unlimited turbo and improved shooting.
Controls
D-pad: move. A: tap for a head fake or hold to shoot; on defence, block. B: hold for turbo; tap to throw elbows. C: pass or steal. Turbo+A near the basket: dunk or super block. Turbo+C: hard pass or shove. Start pauses. The layout can be changed in Controller Configuration.
