Looks like they should just quit making Basketball games in general.

50 bucks for a game that should be $20 on PSN and XBOX LIVE?

Hell.....no wonder it tanked.

Instead of trying to recoup their lost revenue for defunct NBA LIVE 2011-2012, they should have just paid attention to trying to deliver a good and reasonable game experience for NBA JAM.

Now look what they are left with.... 2 TANKED GAMES instead of just 1.

2 hurt franchises that were once great, all because of greed.

EA = 1 step forwards, 2 steps back.

Right on, bruthaman. I'm still waiting for this to fall under $30.

Theyellowflash304799d ago

LOL! Thats why im glad I didn't pay $50 bucks for this! I feel sorry for the people who did thinking there was going to be support for it. I played the hell out of NBA Jam on my 360 but I'll be damned to pay for that crap! I knew EA was going to do this. I knew they were when they saw the sales.

"Looks like they should just quit making Basketball games in general."

I have to respectfully disagree. Competition engenders innovation, even when it's crappy like the ill-fated NBA Elite.

hellzsupernova4799d ago

but 2k11 killed the competition so much that they didnt release a game that year! i cannot see EA coming back from that. they should put that team onto a new ip :D

DaReapa4799d ago

My point exactly. Who's to say that 2K would've had that same fire lit under them had EA never intended to release a bball game. Lack of competition is a large reason why the Madden franchise is so stagnant.

hellzsupernova4799d ago

i agree with you completely DaReapa. Madden needs a fire lit up its ass!!

i could of cared less about a roster update. The online needed to be fixed, and some of the game issues.

IHateYouFanboys4799d ago

i dont care, the game is fantastic as it is.

swishersweets200314799d ago

fantastic game.. but im noticing more and more its turning into NBA Three Pointer instead of NBA Jam, because all most teams do is pick the bird allen combo, or pick the howard lewis combo, and just sit and spam three point shots.. so it just becomes a test of who can keep making threes back and forth, cos you cant catch either team with the constant jagged juking done with the controll stick.

Nice article. I would add Tecmo NBA Basketball for the NES to this list. I liked the focus on NBA Jam, though!

Thank you and I'll see what I can do.
I will do my best to add it later when I have time.

Electronic Arts Holiday Sale: Top Ten iPhone And iPad Games

Chris Buffa (Modojo): It appears publisher Electronic Arts is in the spirit of giving. Either that, or it wants to dominate the App Store charts.

Regardless of the company's true intentions, you'll be happy to know that all (and we mean ALL) EA published iPhone and iPad games are now $0.99 (or free) for a limited time, which gives you the perfect opportunity to capitalize on its best titles.

With this in mind, make sure you grab these ten games immediately.

Where Have All The Cheat Codes Gone?

Chris Buffa (Modojo): Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A

The famous "Konami Code", a string of simple commands almost every video game player knows by heart. Although it first debuted in the 1986 NES title, Gradius, the cheat gained notoriety for granting 30 lives in the NES version of Contra, a side scrolling title so difficult most players relied on the code to beat the game.

Don't forget to press Select before you press Start for two players. lol!

(Wait ain't that suppose to be A, B, A, B?) o_O
