Sure you have all the normal modes and player extras that you would normally find in a NBA game, but San Diego studios went the extra mile by adding other wonderful fillers that makes the game even more enjoyable. Some of the things included were Carnival games like Shooting Bricks (Breakout type game), Big Shooter (Skee Ball), Hot Shot (Arcade Hoops w/ moving backboard), etc…; Team Games like Dodge Ball, Fast Break, Elimation; Quest Games (Conquest, Elimiquest), Solo Games (Horse, Own the Court, Bang the Boards) and even Pinball games (7 of them). All this extra stuff is on top of the regular Exhibition, Playoffs, Franchise and All-Star Weekend modes. I found myself playing more of the bonus casual games, then the regular season games."
