NBA Jam was program to screw Michael Jordan against Pistons
- Thread starter Zonar
- Start date
in a game where buzzer beating full court heaves land at a 50% probability, this isnt nearly as big of deal as people are making it out to be
I concur. The 25th anniversary was back in 2018 and they missed a golden opportunity.
We have a whole new generation of stars in the league than when 'on Fire' came out. Steph was just starting out. Ditto for Kawhi. AD and Giannis weren't even in the league yet. Harden was a bench player. Lebron has since moved teams twice lol. Definitely time for an update.
i think this was taken from this

Go to Gary Payton's house. He's got 3 of the machines with Jordan in it.
Ken Griffey Jr. might have 1 and Jordan himself might have 1, but Payton confirmed he has 3, fully refurbished and in mint condition, that he's probably waiting for just the right time to sell.
you guys really need to check out the nba jam book that boss fight put out last year, this would all be old news to you

Yep, that's the source. I helped prep the video and wrote up a blurb at Ars:

But, again, this goes all the way back to GDC 2018, so I'll embed the tweet this time:
Wasn't the entire game, regardless of teams, coded to let you build a lead, then have the CPU come back as the quarter ended to create drama and tension and make people more likely to plunk down more quarters to continue the game?
"It's about ethics in arcade game balancing."
"ArCaDe GaMeS aRe JuSt QuArTeR mUnChErS."
if only this was the start viral marketing for the NBA Jam anniversary edition. Who owns this rights to this? Or has it lapsed?
I remember all those Jordan rumors back in the day on how to unlock him. Turned out to be another Shen Long.
Read the Ars article linked in this thread for more on that. (Short answer: No. Long answer: We know where they are.)
I mean... Bulls lost to the Pistons consistently for a few years. I don't see how this is unethical.
Yup but now the league is softer than ever thanks to both Stern and Silver.
Its far worse now where soft players just live at the Free Throw line and dominating the paint area means nothing.
Defense isn't allowed and if your team isn't one of the best 3 point shooting teams they've got no chance.
