i thought it was gonna be a hit considering NBA Jam is the most addicting basketball game in existents, what the hell happened?... i'm guessing it something to do with the Typical EA decisions they made through its development.

1. It was initially announced as a Wii exclusive. That can't help the PS360 sales.

2. I thought it was a downloadable title on the HD consoles.

3. No ads whatsoever at all.

maybe i did see an ad in a commercial break during half time of the laker game, but it was so terrible that it didn't tell you shit all about the game

Yeah, I think what happened is EA was too busy dissappointing everybody to make and promote a compelling product.

I think it's gone something like this:

-HD users don't get a career mode

-Wii users don't get an online mode

-Wii's career mode sucks anyway

I'm sure it'll do okay on the Wii at $30 or less, like EA's other half-assed Wii games.

the game's the same as the Genesis games, which is very dated by now, and also the only person who is loving it is the "Cool guyz" at IGN, it should have been a downloadable , its a remake of an arcade game.

Me and my friends have been enjoying it.

On Topic - EA screwed the pooch. Im not even sure what the HD's even ended up actually getting for theirs. Leaving out the online on the Wii version probably hurt it. They didnt really do anything to push it that im aware of other than confuse the hell out of people.
