I had a conversation with one of my brothers about this game over Thanksgiving. He rarely plays videogames himself, but rather owns a Wii for his three kids. This was his response to me. "What?!, they made a new NBA Jam?!" "I didn't know that, I'll have to get it." Essentially EA did a terrible job of catering to what I would consider one of their biggest audiences – people that played and loved the original but haven't played games in a while. He doesn't care that it's $50. He is your quintessential casual gamer and he would have loved to have known about this game so he could actually buy it.
I am not offering this as anecdotal evidence that everyone would feel the same as my brother, but I think thousands more would buy it for the nostalgia alone if it were advertised properly.
