Section 1: Tips

Tip 1. Don't let trying to get on fire make you a ball hog and lose the game because of it.
Tip 2. Try to always pick a team that your strategy works with, unless you want a challenge. My favorite strategy is to get a team with high three pointers, so that when I'm forced to make one, I have a better chance of getting it in the hoop.
Tip 3. When you're on fire, three pointers are more likely to make it, but don't expect somebody with a very low three pointers rating to be able to make every three point shot.
Tip 4. Be persistent with clearing people out when you don't have the ball, but don't over do it and run out of turbo.
Tip 5. A good rule of thumb is that small players are fast and good at three pointers, and big players are slow and good at dunks, but not always.
* Tip 6. Remember that passing a lot gets the other team off balance, but if you pass too often, the other team will intercept it, sometimes.
* Tip 7. Every time the opposing team tries for a three pointer, always be at the hoop to try to get the rebound.
* Tip 8. Always remember that a computer team that's on fire is a lot more aggressive than they normally would be if they weren't on fire.

Section 4: Review for this game from my website

NBA Jam Review

Graphics- 8 out of 10- This game doesn't have all that great of graphics, but what do you expect from SNES?

Sound- 8.5 out of 10- Average sound for this game. It has cool dunk sounds and other things, but no music.

Replay Value- 9 out of 10- This game is really fun to play again because of all the different teams there is to
chose from.

Overall- 9 out of 10- This is a great b-ball game. The only downfall is that you can't tell 3D very well on the
SNES, but you soon get used to it.
