Released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64, NBA Jam 2000 (Europe) brings Acclaim’s iconic over-the-top arcade basketball action into the 3D era. Blending the franchise’s signature physics-defying slam dunks with a fully featured 5-on-5 simulation mode, this sports title offers both casual and deep competitive basketball experiences.
How to Play
The objective in the classic Jam mode is to outscore the opposing team in fast-paced 2-on-2 matches where players can catch fire after making three consecutive shots. The default Nintendo 64 controls map movement to the analog stick or D-pad, passing to the A button, and shooting or blocking to the B button, with the Z or R triggers used for the crucial turbo boost.
Tips
- Always keep an eye on your turbo meter; managing your boost is essential for executing spectacular dunks and pulling off aggressive steals.
- When on defense, try to time your blocks just as the opponent reaches the peak of their jump rather than swiping wildly at the ball.
