Definitely obvious the guys playing didn't know how to play. But I see alot of potential in the game. Picking up day 1. They have my full support. I wish it was a little more NBA Street than NBA Jam though.

It seems like a little mix of jam/street.

Side note: too many standing rebounds ;-)

Looks like a poor man's NBA Jam...but sometimes those can be the best games. I remember having fun with Pure Futbol, even thought most thought it was the orphaned step child to Fifa Street (and it was).

Really. Really. Looks like the movement in NBA street vol 2. And I love that
Ball physics also remind me of NBA street VIP 2 as well
I was worried the big heads and body sizes would be a strange mix but after seeing the movement of players and how it reminds me of NBA street vol 2 I'm at ease

Depending on how many courts this could be a indie sleeper hit we haven't seen the likes of since rocket league

Thoroughly impressed.

Can't wait! I will put some major time into this.

Looks more like something I would considering getting for the portable Nintendo Switch (... if I had the switch). And apparently it's coming out for the Switch on May 9, 2017 ($19.99), along with PS4, XBOX and PC.

The gameplay looks a bit deeper then I expected, noticing 'early' for when you released the ball too early and such. I do feel however, to keep playing, the developers need to give tons of stuff to unlock: jerseys, balls, courts, players, sneakers, etc. Otherwise I personally feel that this is something that won't be played for a very long time. Perhaps also include the ability to typ in your initials - like the first NBA Jam - and different initials give you diffirent abilities or unlocks Benny the Bull etc?

I already like the body types better than nba 2k17

Looking forward to hearing who is in the expanded roster

SRSLY excited for this

Been watching NBA Street Vol 2 gameplay vids and they really seem similar.

NBA Jam this is Not....

I'm super excited for this as well. I think it looks awesome. If players have some uniqueness to them in how they play (sig crossovers, layups, dunks, etc) I will play this a TON!

As a poster mentioned above, I hope there is some depth as far as accessories, leveling up, courts, etc.

I counted like 9 courts. NBA Street Vol 2 had 11 i think...

I've seen Sonics Kemp and Cavs Kemp.

Maybe this game does indeed have Lakers Shaq and Magic Shaq.

If you really think about it. The expandability of this game is never ending.

Looks like a lot of fun. I'll probably download. The big heads kinda get on my nerves though.

Hope this game is good, because it will be so sweet to play on the Switch!
