Got an overtime on my first game, great beginning. 

 

This is the first time playing this game with standard settings, and I definitely like it more with tag mode on and juice mode cranked up to 4  

 

Ps, can I play as Bill Clinton? I don’t think he has any special stats.

Is Exhibition mode the same as Head to Head?

I believe so

[LianneJaguar64]

For whatever reason, my copy hangs at the splash screen, which it never used to do. I don't know why it's doing it now, other games work fine. Guess this is a good advert for the Jaguar Drive... 

 

EDIT: committed the cardinal sin of blowing on the cart and it's fine now. But it wasn't working for quite a while haha

I find it very hard to improve my score, it seems to be nearly impossible without an overtime, but intentionally getting an overtime is not easy.

36.. i have  no idea, why and why  not  more.

Hey guys; i made this season a week longer because some folks were mentioning last round they didn't have time to get around to participating.  I get we are all working adults so want to make sure everyone can submit a score who wants to.  I'm also in the middle of a move right now and life is a bit hectic and will be for a few months.  Will do my best!  Cheers'

[Wilco]

Take your time, I definitely don’t mind having a reason to play NBA jam for a week longer

Got lucky during the overtime 

[Rick Dangerous]

Nice scores all!  Getting in on this soon!  Looks like there are some varied theories on who the weakest team is to play against

That is an incredibly impressive score, may I ask how you did it? I really struggle to get a score above 70, let alone 80.

I try to immediately steal the ball, if I can't do that right away I let them score.

and then ? 2 point or did you try 3 points shoots?

I only shot one "3 pointer" by accident and made it. I may try to hit more 3's in the future. 

I also switch player lineups when I can because they seem to slowdown if you don't. 

 

Some teams are difficult to score against, some are easier. I am just going through them one by one. I haven't figured out how to choose my opponents.

I am using my same initials and it is making go against the team one by one. Some I get only 60s, some in the lower 80s.

This is a bit risky but I have had some succes by launching the ball across the field, and then catching it immediately after it misses the basket, and scoring a dunk. If done correctly you can score a point within 3 to 4 seconds, but if it fails it will cost you points and time. I seem to get a 50/50 succes rate with it. 
 

I only attempt 3 pointers when playing as Harper, as he seems to be the only one that can score them constantly, and I only use Kukoc as P1 when I absolutely have to, because he sucks. 

[Machine]

The more I play, the less I score. I have figured out a few defensive moves, but that seems to make the CPU play better defense also.....making a lower scoring game.
