NBA Jam — About this game
NBA Jam turns basketball into an arcade contest focused on two-player teams, exaggerated jumps and rapid scoring. Passing, shooting and managing turbo are more useful than trying to control a full five-player formation. A defended route to the basket can become an open shot after one quick pass, while reckless use of speed leaves less reserve for the next chase. The Sega CD version brings the arcade style to its own presentation. Learn how controls change between possession and defence before attempting long streaks of scoring.
