I initially posted this elsewhere, but since this game has a page/forum now, and the last thread here has too many replies, here it is.

Edit: a new image from GoNintendo:I read through the article in NP, here's what I got:
- 2 Modes, 1 is called Classic Campaign, plays pretty much identical to previous NBA Jams, 3v3, no rules other than shot clock and goaltending. The other is called Remix Tour, which is different, changing the core mechanics, rule tweaks, and camera tweaks etc. The devs didn't want to go into detail on the Remix Tour mode yet.
- There are tons of new dunks, a new spin move that can evade the shove move.
- The faces are actual photograph captures, each character has multiple faces, 3 faces while running the court, 2 dunk faces, and a positive and negative face. (It looks hilarious. Basically its 3D bodies with 2D heads)
- Option of motion controls or holding the wiimote sideways. I didn't see any mention of the Classic Controller
- NP provided a checklist of what is in the game:
Fire
Shattering Backboard
Cheats
Flashing Shoes
Flashing ball
Big Head Mode
Legends
Playable Mascots
Secret Characters
That's about it, it looks quite solid, I didn't see any release date though.
It sounds promising, maybe EA will make something good this time. The information is from Nintendo Power. Here's the very first screenshot (or target concept) which was in the PDF file you could download from Nintendo Power's site, but was later removed and replaced with the cover.
That's a good direction they're taking if you ask me. Fun.

:-P" Play this while you wait to see if EA's effort is going to be worthwhile. And check the website, hilarious."
