  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

So, is that the appeal of this game? To play as different faces?

Also, I'm thinking that they had to pay a fuckload of money to get to use their faces in the game.

You dont think a fast paced arcade action basketball game is actually the appeal? What other sport games out there are this fast and furious with cool ass dunks and fun responsive gameplay? The faces are just something funny and enjoyable.

The only sport games ive enjoyed are ones like this. NBA Jam, Baseball Stars, and Techmo Super Bowl are good examples, albeit old school. The sport ones today are slow, calculated, and more of a season simulation that you need to constantly keep up with. Modern day sport games like Madden and MLB 20XX are like the RPGs for sports junkies, so youd think we would like them, but they've never really taken for me.

It's NBA Jam. At this stage, either you get it (and like it) or you don't
