I didn't want to post on this thread until after the OP bought one. (I thought he would, since he was interested enough to start the thread and everyone seemed to be posting favorable comments about NBAFB.) I've played it many times over the years and I don't like the game at all and think it looks unattractive to boot. Just goes to show you how one man's junk is another man's treasure.
That said, it would be nice if (for those of you who do like the machine) someone would offer for sale alternate translights of some actual NBA teams. Then someone who loved the Lakers could get a Lakers translight (maybe with Kobe on it) and someone who loved the Bulls could get a Bulls translight. I've seen alternates available for various other games, but like the idea more for NBA Fastbreak (even if I would never want the game).
