Yikes... talk about a game that was rushed to release for the nba playoffs. I’d rather play pickup basketball against pros, as I’d probably have more fun and score more points. At least Kobe is on the back glass RIP Mamba

The playfield is a little sparse with everything located near the top. The shots are fun, but there are not a ton of them. A good game for beginners or casual players. You can quickly figure out what to do, it's just that it gets a little repetitive.

The play field is baron and the one and only toy gets old very quickly. Went to buy it, though once I seen it live I could not part with the money, and it was a good price. So many other pins out there, I will give this one a miss. At this time I have Stern pins in my collection (4) and will have to keep looking for number 5. I give this a 6 out of 10.

2009 model? Really........
Had the pleasure of playing this machine at the Nullabor Roadhouse (look it up!), in Australia's vast outback. The only machine on offer and did not dissapoint. Pretty cool/fun to just jump on and have a run.

This is a super fun game. Hitting the magnet/hoop from 3 different spots is so satisfying.

This is a game for people who like fast pinball's. I also like basketball and maybe thats why I like this game so much.
It is a difficult game if you want to complete all challenges. That is also the reason that it is very lastable.
The sound and music is great. You have the impression to be in the middle of a Basketballgame.
Very nice Pinball for people who like sport themes. There is always competition when you play it with friends!

I love the nba, I didn't like this pin very much, layout was kinda boring and the magnet shot was a gimmic that didn't translate very well into the game. NBA fast break is a blast, this one is easy to pass up.

Only part of this machine I like is the Magnent that makes it look as though you are "shooting" your ball into the hoop. swirling basketball in the middle makes for a random game at times. Seems like a cheap machine to make, 2 identical ramps, with no artwork, only orange paint, back up my claims.

Art: Fitting what else can you expect. Translite actually Works with the flourescent back lighting.
Audio: IMO the audio is great, makes you feel like you're at a game.
Playfield: Albeit simple, is alot of fun, Magnetic Basket is really cool, i happen to like the spinning disk as well, when playing pinball some randomness is rather cool, guess the people who dislike the disk probably dislike pop bumpers as well?
Game Play: much to my surprise is a really fun game to play. Like i stated with the audio you actually feel like your at the game. I've not made the final yet but i've only played 20 games or so to date.
Maintenance: Playfield is pretty minimal so maintenance should be quite simple. Only dislike i've noticed so far is the spinning disk tends to leave black marks on the pinball which in turn puts black marks all over the playfield.
