Version 1.0 05/10/04 - Saw there was no full Faq's for this great Game! *Jaw Drops* _______________________ / \ / Introduction - [INT1] \ \ / \_______________________/ Boomshakalaka! wonderful words of the NBA Jam games. High flying Dunks, un-punishible Fouls, and even secret Teams! a great Game for all Basketball lovers. In NBA Jam, you play Games 3 v 3 with the official teams, and players, on the official courts too! You can also make your own Teams, and your own players by getting Jam points for beating Exhibition matches, or Games in the Jam Tournament. The Teams are as accurate as August 19th, 2003. _________________ / \ / Review - [REV1] \ \ / \_________________/ This is a Review based on my own knowlege, and expirience of the Game, and i will not except e-mails telling me i should change it. Graphics: 8/10 - The Graphics are really pretty good, the Players look like the same as they do in real life, and the Detail when you play on an outside Court is amazing. I would give Graphics 10/10, but the Court looks real small. Sound: Replayability: Gameplay: 9/10 - Being able to make your own Team, and your own player is a great Element for a Basketball Game. You can also buy things such as Legendary players' Jerseys, Trainers, ___________________ / \ / Controls - [CNT1] \ \ / \___________________/ -Menu- Highlight Option - D-Pad/Left Analog stick Action - X Button Back - Triangle Button Help - Square Button -Offense w/ the Ball- Move Player - D-Pad/Left Analog stick Turbo - L1/R1/L2/R2 Shoot - Circle Button Big Dunk - L1/R1/L2/R2 + Circle Button Pump Fake - Tap Circle Button Pass - X Button Super Pass - L1/R1/L2/R2 + X Button Fake Dribble - Square Button Spin Dribble - L1/R1/L2/R2 + Square Button Call Alley-Oop - L1/R1/L2/R2 + Triangle Button Hot Spot - R3 Button -Defense- Steal Ball - Square Button Push opponent - Turbo + Square Button Switch Player - X Button Jump* - Circle or Triangle Button Super Jump* - Turbo + Circle or Triangle Button (* = Counts for Rebounding/Blocking aswell.) -Misc- Make CPU Shoot - Circle Button Make CPU Pass - Square Button Put back Dunk - Hold Circle Button when Rebounding Jump for Alley-Oop - Turbo + Triangle Button _______________________ / \ / Startup Menu - [STA1] \ \ / \_______________________/ At the Startup Menu, you will have 6 Options, Exhibition, Jam Tournament, Legends Tournament, Jam Store, User Profiles, and Options. Exhibition: Play a normal Game with up to 6 different players, with the official Teams. You earn Jam points for playing this mode. Jam Tournament: Play in a Tournament against all 29 of the NBA Teams, and work your way up to the top. There is also more Teams after you beat the NBA Teams, such as All-Arizona, All-World, and even Monster, Alien, and Presidential teams! You earn Jam points for playing this mode. Legends Tournament: You can take a present NBA Team, and go back in Time to the 50's and the 60's of Basketball and face the old-time NBA Legends, back in the Day where there was no 3-point line. Jam Store: Here, you can make your own Player, or even your own Team, by earning Jam Points from certain Games, such as Jam Tournaments, and Exhibition matches. User Profiles: Load saved Profiles, view your Career highs, Unlocked items/codes, and adjust your controls to suit your needs. Options: You can change the settings here of Sound, Difficulty, and so on. _________________________ / \ / Jam Tournament - [JAT1] \ \ / \_________________________/ When you click on Jam Tournament, you will have to select the Team you want to play as. You play against the 29 NBA Teams, and work your way up through the Rankings. Like an Exhibition game, you get Jam points depending on how many Points(not Game points) you scored on the Jam Meter. When you Defeat the 29 NBA Teams, more Teams will challenge you, including Priates, Aliens, Robots, Clowns, and much more! Every team you beat in the Jam Tournament becomes playable in the Exhibition mode, and the Players can be used when creating your own team. _____________________________ / \ / Legends Tournament - [LEG1] \ \ / \_____________________________/ In the Legends Tournament, you play single player in the 50's and the 60's of the Basketball World with a current team from the NBA. You play against teams from each Decade in a black and white court, with no 3-point line, even Buzzer-beaters only give 2 points! Again, each team you unlock in this mode is playable in the Exhibition, and the Players can be used on your own Team. ____________________ / \ / Jam Store - [JAM1] \ \ / \____________________/ In the Jam store, you get to create your own Player, create your own team, and unlock extra stuff, such as new Courts with the Jam points you have earned. --Create a Player-- You can only create one player per User Profile, but you can always edit the player you've created. When you have finished him, the player will be on any team you choose. -Biography- Decide your Player's full name, a Nickname, a Jersey Number, and a fixed position to play on the Court. -Physical- Make your player big or small. Decide his height, weight, body type, skin colour, Hairstyle, and facial hair. -Accessories- Choose what your Player wears, including different shoes, tattoos, eyewear, and much more! -Attributes- Here you can buy attributes for your Player with the Jam Points you've earned. The higher the attribute level gets, the more Jam Points will be needed to increase it, the highest amount of Points needed to increase an attribute is 64,000. There is 11 different Attribute categories, they are: Speed - How fast your Character moves. Strength - The Damage a player will cause when he pushes an opponent over, and he will also take less Damage, and have more endurance. 2-Point Shooting - How well a Player will shoot 2-Point hoops. 3-Point Shooting - How well a Player will shoot 3-Pointers. Dunking - How well a Player will slam it Home. Passing - Affects how well the Player passes the Ball Rebounding - When high, a player will more likely get the rebound over other Players. Dribbling - How well the Player will Dribble the ball, and he will not have it stolen so often. Stealing - Affects how often the Player will steal the Ball when he tries. Blocking - How high a player will jump, and he will Block the ball more often. Clutch - The higher this rating, the more often the Player will score Buzzer-beater shots from the floor. --Creating a Team-- To create your own Team, select 'Create Team' from the Jam Store, and then choose one of the empty slots. I recommend you have at least 150,000 Jam Points before starting a team, as the better Players are quite expensive. You must choose the place your team comes from, along with this comes a logo, and your very own Home Court! You must have at least 3 Players on your Team before you can Save, and Exit. --Unlocking Extras-- You can use the Jam Points you've earned to purchase unlockables, such as Cheats, items, and Courts. -Unlocking Clothes- You can buy retro gear, worn by the NBA Legends, but it's gonna cost you. When you buy a Pair of Shoes, A Vest etc, you can press the Help Button to view the item's History. -Unlocking Courts- Here you can unlock different Courts, outdoor, and indoor with the Jam Points you have. When you have unlocked the Court, you can make it your Created Teams Home Court if you wish. -Unlocking Cheats- A weird addition, but none-the-less a good one. You can now buy cheats. Just choose the cheat you want to buy when you have enough Jam Points, and enter it before you start a Game. I would put the cheats from Code's & Secrets from Gfaqs here, but i don't know if it's ok. -Unlocking Art- You can buy the Art that the developers drew when making the Game. Quite funny Drawings, take a look at them if you have some spare Jam Points. ________________ / \ / Faq's - [FAQ1] \ \ / \________________/ Here is a couple of Faq's, and the answers.
