It's easy to take jamming for granted. In
NBA Jam, lighting one's self on fire and pulling off "the mad crazy dunks" looks
so simple. It seems like all you need are some colorful shoes and a deep determination to
dish rocks but, as creative director Trey Smith informs us in the video past the break, it takes more than that -- specifically, it takes
knowledge.
And that's the inspiration behind
bringing back Mark Turmell, the lead designer and programmer on the original game. It's allowed EA Canada to identify what has been internally referred to as "The Turmell Hit List," a list of initially overlooked issues Turmell brought to the table.
