Forums - Nintendo - NBA JAM - no online for wii version confirmed

@shadowfest  they'll do that for Wii but what about for NBA Elite, how will they spin that????

@Kasz2116  the HD is missing a sort of special campaign mode that only the Wii version has. as for the rosters this is an arcade sports game I dont think rosters will be as important as it is in sim sports games  IMO

Hmmm...good question.  I'm not sure about that.  Does anyone else know?



Why does NIntendo choose to make crappy online two generations late?

The Wii version has all the game modes except online.

The HD versions have online but several missing game modes.

So it depends what works out as a bigger loss to the individual. I don't play online that much, so I can live without it in exchange for more game modes, so I'd get the Wii version.

EA has their own servers, so Nintendo had nothing to do with this.

But then again, considering EA's financial situation, maybe they couldn't afford servers for all the versions.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

@milkyjoe  I could live without it too. But im not going to reward there halfassness by purchasing either version. Nba Jam is not that serious to me. Until they cut the crap and put out a full product ill just stick to Nba Street Homecourt for my basketball arcade fix



booo!



Wow that is lame, what is so hard about making online for it?



Now NBA Elite 11 is delayed, so now NBA Jam is a standalone game for the 360 and PS3. Can I say bullshit on EA? They know damn well nothing is wrong with NBA Elite 11 to give it a delay, they just wanted to do that to screw people over once again and get what they always wanted with NBA Jam.  

So now, NBA Jam can officially go on the same list as Dead Space: Extraction. What list are you asking? The "Games EA Hyped The Shit Out of because of Wii Exclusivity, but Later Made Available On Another Console or Consoles" list.  

And for the people saying "Wuuh," that's right, Dead Space Extraction is going to be on the PS3 using Move support. EA also just recently branded into their minds Move could capture the Wii audience. The audience they are referring to is very much unknown.

*facepalm*

At least HD owners will be paying for it instead of getting it free now.  I'm guessing they are still getting more features for absolutely no reason though.  Just watch, this is now going to flop on the Wii because of this, and EA is going to blame it on Wii owners.
