It's a cool game but most people haven't played it cuz they only made about 300 or so. The free-throw trick is awesome. I great physical pinball "magic trick" ...but not immediately obvious since the shot looks like a typical saucer. When it launches the ball diagonally & it sticks to the backboard magnet and lands in the net, it's a definite "WHOA, COOL!" moment!

Like most, I had zero hopes for this being a decent game since it's a sports theme, a re-theme of Space Jam and from Stern's "Cheap Years" ...I went to L.A.'s now defunct C.A. Robinson and they had NBA & 24 set up. I was more interested in 24, actually ...but ended up HATING that game and playing a ton of NBA instead! Go figure!

Quoted from JoinTheCirqus:

Awful game, just dreadful. NBA Fastbreak is better.

Quoted from jonnyo:

That game is not good.

Just curious...have you guys played it? More than once? Nothing wrong with not liking it, but I'd like to see some constructive criticism and reasons for why people don't like games. Just blurting out "it sucks" doesn't tell me much about your experience with the game.

Quoted from JoinTheCirqus:

Yes, I've put quite a few games on it. Repetitive. Unimaginative. Standard setup of standup targets on each side. It actually feels like a system 11 game to me, without the imagination. IMO of course....

Fair enough. Seems like the pushback against the Stern "System 11' Style has actually transitioned into acceptance, with the love of IM, Tron, and the short-ball-time style.

Quoted from Ballsofsteel:

Who?

Quoted from Ballsofsteel:

wow, no sports fans here i guess.

Nope...unless you count pinball.
