I don't know much about actual basketball, but I love how the nets are built with suspension to withstand constant ridiculous dunks.

NBA JAM was great back in the day, looks awesome, though I dunno if i'd be into it as much anymore.

As someone who doesn't really care about basketball, I feel compelled to play this game.

Looking really fun but a retail disc? Really? 
 
Why does normal EA seem to be a reformed character whilst their sports division still acts like dicks? You can take my money but quit laughing while you do it ...

Someone needs to do a remake on NHL HITZ now.  Also another Midway property... or former Midway...  
 
It was so good and NHL 3 on 3 arcade was pretty shitty since I was kind of expecting HITZ style. Instead it was just the annual EA NHL game but stripped down.... NO. I want HITZ MOFOS!

Sounds like I should wait for the 360/PS3 retail release.

Looks amazing (on Low) but I miss the camera shutter sound when you do a special-dunk. I guess it's all digital now so it'd be stupid duck quacks or something...
 
Also, what happened to the letting 3 pointers travel when the end of quarter hooter goes?

I don't see the point of playing this online. It seems more like the kind of game you play with a group of friends. But hey, to each his own I guess.

I know, I can't believe they would put it at such a low price point.  It's amazing.

It's $50. Otherwise I'd have it by now but that extra $10 makes it harder to justify

dammit, i wanted to see some bosses >.> also the dunk and jumping animations are so ridiculous in this game xD
 
also I giggled when I heard "A couple more dunks should do it" (referring to the backboard glass breaking), it reminded of something that happened at my school one time.

The game looks awesome, but I can't see picking it up for the Wii.  I'll play it more on the 360 with the online portion so I'll be waiting.

Gotta say, I miss the ball still moving after the time is up. 
  "He shoots..." *BARRRRRRRRN!* "...No good!" 

 For that matter, I was kinda hoping for remixes of the classic games' music.
