NBA Jam hits iPad from downtown

by JC Fletcher on Apr 21st 2011 8:00PM

One day, Goldilocks decided she wanted to play EA's new NBA Jam. First, she sat down on the couch and tried to play it on a console, but the TV was too big. So she pulled her iPhone out of her pocket and downloaded NBA Jam from the App Store. But that screen was too small.

Finally, EA released a version of NBA Jam for the iPad, and it was just right (and cost $10). EA also released an update for the iPhone version that adds multiplayer functionality, but we couldn't fit that into the story.

Some games need buttons. I hope this isn't one of them.

@Mr Hett Nope, I have the game on my iPhone and it works great! The iPad version will probably work even better!

@KNRasengan Ipad version's virtual buttons are noticeably small that it becomes a hindrance from time to time.

as for the buttons thing.... well it works fine, up until you try the harder difficulties.

Yikes, $10! That's pricey... the iTouch/iPhone version is $5 and the console version was $59.99 when it first came out...

BTW, the iPhone version adds multi-player but it's not Online, it's only if your near that person.

@KNRasengan
$10 bucks is probably what I would've paid for a console version.

Not that I'm complaining, I'm just a broke college student who can't afford $60 for any game right now.
