In hate this game. Even when I was up by 22 points in the third quarter I got so pissed off at two quick cheap knock downs that I chucked my controller and turned it off. I'll have to get a score up eventually but it's tough to get through an entire game without shutting it off. The cut scenes after every score kill it too. The British Knights advertisements and the shattered backboards are the games redeeming qualities.

Would it be ok to hide my teammate's BK's when he misses about 7 shots in a row and can't buy a rebound?  My computer teammate has surpassed the computer opponents on my "I hate you" list.

I had a pair of Reebok Blacktops that I swore with its "honeycomb" technology made me jump higher..truth is we just lowered the hoop so we could dunk.

Edit: this reminds me, I want to find an old Nerf hoop again for some sweet indoor b-ball action lol.

Were those the hexalite Reeboks?  I remember that those came out right about the time Metallica released "Enter Sandman".  In the chorus, when they say "Exit light, enter night", we thought the "exit light" part was them saying "hexalite".  For a few weeks we thought Metallica turned into a bunch of corporate hacks for Reebok.  We didn't have the internet back then to just tell us the lyrics of every song.  Don't judge

I remember getting some Reebok pumps in jr high. I thought I was the coolest kid around when in reality all I was doing was walking around with shoes that put your feet to sleep because you have them pumped up too much.

I had a pair of Reebok Pumps when I was in elementary school and everyone thought they were so cool.  Kids used to come up to me on the playground and ask if they could pump them up all the time lol.

hahaha...reminds me of the other one from that album "Sad but True" my brother thought he sang Sabba Troll (some sort of mythical creature created in the likeness of Black Sabbath stealing your soul.

Edit a few words cause I can't type right now.

Also, solid def (punching) if they end up in the offensive side (and defensive side too) of the court is critical so your teammate can rebound and if possible, pass up or dribble down for a three pointer.







Holy crap man,that's a great score! You're setting the bar high!

Thanks, its definately possible to beat. Someone will be able to break that score. There's a pattern when they inbound each time. Once you get that pattern down, you can rack up a lot of points. Also, go for a lot of 2 pointers first. It seems my computer teammate can hit more 3's than me so I just stuck with hitting mainly shots in the paint.

Score: +185

Pretty fun game for the compeition. This can be improved but I think I am done with this game for now. I definitely agree with gutsman that it's extremely annoying when you miss 7 shots/dunks in a row and then the computer easily scores a 3.

And I shall never touch this turd again. The highlight of this game was an epic three point dunk in the first quarter. 


Yeah,the computer is an all-pro at getting a rebound and dunking from around that area,which is beyond absurd. Hell I don't think you can do it on NBA Jam even if you are on fire. Maybe you can,I can't remember....but still. Wtf?!

I was at the bottom of the screen and tried to shoot a jumper and he flew to the basket and my points increased by 3. It was pretty ridiculous but I got a good chuckle out of it.

I haven't played this one nearly as much as Rollerball, but even if I had I don't think I'd have gotten close CLAYB1RD's beastly score, that one's incredible.

Got another 3 point dunks this morning. I started doubting wether the last one had really happened and thought I might have been mistaken but this time it was my comp teammate from the top of the court and it was equally hilarious. I think it's the fact that the distance between the three point lines at the top and bottom and the basket is so small. That or white men CAN jump.

You guys are putting up some great numbers! I've been out of town, but I'm going to try to beat my score tonight or tomorrow. It won't count for the competition, but I've actually enjoyed playing this game. I need to try one of these 3 pt dunks!
