NBA Jam (360/PS3) $39.99 @ Newegg

Yeah I don't think this is selling many copies.

I'm going to wait it out a bit longer and I bet the price will start to fall a bunch after Christmas.
 
Still too much. EA was willing to throw this game in for free with another game. I'll consider when it hits $20.
 
[quote name='VaultDweller']wtf i thought this game was going to be release as a $10 downloadable game, EA is crazy lmao[/QUOTE]

EA think consumers are stupid.
 
The console versions added a bunch of stuff to make it a full-featured game:

That's why they raised the retail price.

I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing it out.
 
NBA 2k11 is $30 on Monday. For me, NBA Jam will need to do better than just $10 off MSRP. I understand it's a full game that had some things added, but as a CAG..this isn't much of a deal at all.
 
Still holding out for $30 or less. Really want this game, but seeing as it was originally announced as a download-only title for the PS3/360, I can't justify paying $40 or $50 for it.

Sure, I know they "added" features to it; but, to be honest, there's $15 PSN games that have more content than this game. Also, the real reason 99% of gamers want this title is for the multiplayer, so it's a hard sell @ more than $30 just by touting "new single player modes".

I'm absolutely buying this game, but, to me, it's not worth more than $30.

They raised the price because they knew they were cancelling NBA Elite and they needed to make up lost money in the christmas season. I have played it and I love it but it is not worth 50 dollars to me. I mean NBA Hangtime had a create a player mode 10 years ago and NBA Jam (2010) doesn't

I loved HangTime
 
I actually decided to rent this game before buying and I am greatly disappointed. I grew up playing this on the snes and they just didn't capture the original. The controls just don't feel right. I used to pride myself in being able to shut out virtually any opponent in the originals and in this it's just not the same. As for as the online aspect, it is essentially broke. It is almost impossible to find a match on the 360 and when you do it rarely goes past half time before there is some sort of disconnection.
 
No Create-a-player?!

I planned to play just the single player (or local multiplayer...don't care for online gaming), but if they didn't add a create-a-player mode/campaign where you build up a character after wins and up their stats, this is $20 max for me (WTF, what action-sports game/NBA Jam reboot wouldn't have that, Hangtime from like '96 had that!?) That was a common sense-evolution years ago. That's ridiculous. EA, how regressive are you to omit something as fundamental as Create-a-player after Midway/Acclaim-- the founding fathers of this lineage-- put that into Hangtime over a decade ago? Epic cash-in.

RIP Acclaim and Midway.
