NBA Jam Tournament Edition (ＮＢＡ ＪＡＭ トーナメントエディション or ＮＢＡジャム・トーナメントエディション) is a 1994 arcade basketball game developed by Midway Manufacturing and ported by Iguana Entertainment and Acclaim to the Sega Mega Drive, Sega 32X, Sega Saturn, and Sega Game Gear. It is the second game in the NBA Jam series.

Gameplay

The game plays identically to its predecessor, with some additions. It is a two-on-two basketball game with loose rules and exaggerated realism. Team rosters have been updated and now have three selectable players for each team (comprising 25% of the NBA roster). Players can now choose the same team. The game optionally includes power-ups that appear on the court and temporarily enhance the player's abilities, a "Juice Mode" that boosts the speed of the players, and "Hot Spots" that give higher points and allow special dunks if shooting or dunking while touching them. The game also has a Computer Assistance feature enabled by default that increases the precision of the losing team's shots to ensure a more competitive game. There is a Tournament Mode that disables power-ups, cheats, Computer Assistance, and the other special options.

Games consist of four quarters; each quarter is three minutes long. Players are moved around the court with the D-Pad. Players have a turbo meter that increases their running speed by holding B. The turbo meter is depleted as it is used, but it quickly recharges when it is not used.

Team members are now injured each time they are pushed down. Injured players move more slowly. The injury status of each team member is shown with the player statistics at the end of each quarter, and players can substitute team members after each quarter. Benched players recover from their injuries by the next quarter.

The 16-bit and 32-bit versions of the game support up to four players simultaneously, while the Game Gear version only supports one player. In one- and two-player games, players control one member of their respective teams and have AI-controlled teammates. The game can automatically switch control to whichever team member has the ball by enabling Tag Mode in the options.

If players enter their initials before starting a game, the game keeps track of their progress (using a battery backup on the Mega Drive and 32X, the console's internal memory on the Saturn, and passwords on the Game Gear). Defeating all 27 NBA teams plays an ending with credits and unlocks an expanded roster with two additional players per team.

Tip-Off
Each game starts with a tip-off, where a player from each team leaps with A for possession of the ball. Possession of the ball goes to the home team (team two) at the beginning of the second and fourth quarters and to the visiting team (team one) at the beginning of the third quarter, regardless of who wins the tip-off or who had possession of the ball at the end of the last quarter.

Defense
When the player's team does not have possession of the ball, the player can try to block the opposing team's shots with A. If the player has turbo, the player can perform a higher "super block" with B+A. If the ball is on the downward trajectory of its arc when it is blocked, the player is charged with goaltending and the other team receives points for a successful basket. However, if the ball touches the rim of the basket, any player on either team can grab it.

When near an opposing player, the player can try to steal the ball with C. The ball flashes white when the other team touches it. If the player has turbo, the player can also shove another player with B+C. Shoving can cause the other player to drop the ball or move another player out of the way to clear a shot for a teammate.

Offense
When the player's team has possession of the ball, the player can perform a jump shot by holding A. The ball is released when the button is released; releasing the button at the apex of the leap leads to a more accurate shot but increases the risk of a defender blocking or stealing the ball. The player can perform a jump pass by pressing C while in the air. The player can fake out the other team by tapping A, but since this discontinues the player's dribble, the player can no longer move with the ball and must pass or shoot. The player can perform a lay-up or a dunk by pressing A while running near the basket with turbo. There are a number of different jams that are performed depending on the player's speed and positioning.

If a player makes three baskets in a row, the player becomes "on fire" and has unlimited turbo, no goaltending, and increased shooting precision. The "on fire" mode continues until the other team scores or until the player who is "on fire" scores four additional consecutive baskets while "on fire."

The player can pass the ball with C. When playing with an AI teammate, pressing C forces the AI to pass the ball. Opponents can intercept the ball as it is being passed. If the player has turbo, the player can do a "super pass" with B+C that is harder to intercept.

The player can protect the ball by tapping B, which can prevent opponents from trying to steal it.

Power-Ups

Power-ups can be enabled in the game options. They appear randomly on the court and affect the team member that collects them for a duration.

History

Legacy

Following the release of NBA Jam Tournament Edition, Acclaim (which, at this point, owned the NBA Jam license) and Midway parted ways. The former commissioned Sculptured Software to create NBA Jam Extreme for 32-bit home consoles, while the latter would work on a 2D sequel to Tournament Edition, eventually released as NBA Hang Time.
