Powerups
|
|
|
|
The following powerups are to be performed at the "Tonight's
|
|
Match-up Screen. When you are instructed to hold a button, you can
|
|
either release it when the screen is blank or when the court appears.
|
|
|
|
Powerup Fire:
|
|
Press B seven times, then hold Y, B, and Up. This allows
|
|
your player to be on fire for the entire game.
|
|
|
|
Powerup Dunks:
|
|
If you have a burning desire to jam from just beyond half
|
|
court, try this. While rotating the directional pad 360
|
|
degrees (clockwise), press B thirteen times and hold B
|
|
on the thirteenth button press.
|
|
|
|
Powerup Defense:
|
|
This enables your player to goal tend without penalty.
|
|
Press B five times, and hold on the fifth button press.
|
|
|
|
Shooting Percentage:
|
|
When you do this trick, the clock will show the
|
|
percentage of your shot. This helps in finding
|
|
player's best spots for threes. While holding
|
|
down, tap B once, then hold A and B.
|
|
|
|
Powerup Intercept:
|
|
This powerup is basically useless, at least in my
|
|
experience. While rotating the pad clockwise, tap B.
|
|
Keep rotating and tapping until the court appears.
|
|
|
|
Powerup Turbo:
|
|
Unlimited turbo for the entire game. Press B five times,
|
|
then hold Y, B, and A.
|
|
|
|
Juice Mode:
|
|
This makes the speed of game play double. After you get
|
|
used to it, you may never want to play at regular speed again.
|
|
Press any button thirteen times, then hold B and X.
|
|
|
|
Password with Juice Mode: Use this password to automatically start every
|
|
game in juice mode. Initials HRY: QF3B43T/QJY55TF (86-0).

|
|
Special Characters: There are 12 special characters that I know how to
|
|
get. Anyone who knows how to get the cheerleaders, or anyone else, is
|
|
encouraged to mail me or Paul. To get the special characters, enter the
|
|
first two initials. Then place the cursor over the last initial, but do
|
|
not enter. Then perform the listed button combo. (Example: L,S,X.
|
|
Hold L button, hold START button, press X)

STRATGEY SECTION
|
|
|
|
There are many ways to be successful on NBA Jam, especially because
|
|
the CPU is so easy. The best way to steal is to run between the computer when
|
|
he inbounds. He will always pass the ball back to his teammate. If you are
|
|
behind the reciever of the inbounds pass when he passes, you will be in
|
|
perfect position to intercept it. I have recorded up to 67 steals with
|
|
this techinque!
|
|
Also, knocking down the cpu is useless for the purpose of getting
|
|
steals. Use the knock down to prevent a pass to an open teammate, or to run
|
|
down your opponent's shot clock.
|
|
On offense, only shoot open 3's. Always remeber that there is
|
|
nothing wrong with two. An easy way to get an open three is to dish it off
|
|
in the middle of a jam. Head fakes also work some of the time.
|
|
Ranking the attributes:
|
|
(1) Speed
|
|
(2) Defense
|
|
(3) Three Pointers (tie)
|
|
(3) Dunks (tie)
|
|
If your player is quick, you have an easier time getting open and
|
|
driving to the hoop. Also, with a lot of speed you can get back on D after
|
|
you make a mistake. Defense is important because it determines how quick and
|
|
how high your player jumps and also how good he is at stealing the ball.
|
|
As far as three pointers and dunks are concerned, your game plam will
|
|
determine which one you value the most.
|
|
This is merely an early version of the strategy section. Look for a
|
|
longer version in the future :)

LAST WORDS
|
|
|
|
Thank you to the few people who mailed us with questions and comments.
|
|
Also, thank you Acclaim for creating this game. Mark Turmell deserves much
|
|
of the credit for creating the original Jam. :)
|
|
|
|
I have been asked about mixing codes. I am not sure of this can be done,
|
|
and I will be working on it. Anyone who has info, please mail Aaron.
|
|
|
|
We now believe that the picture of the cheerleader printed in EGM was a
|
|
hoax. They said that if you watch the demo long enough, you will see this
|
|
possible special character. I watched the demo for the longest time, but
|
|
this never happened. :(
|
|
|
|
I will be glad when people stop asking me if Shaq and Jordan are on NBA Jam.
|
|
It's not people on the internet, but everyone I talk to about Jam asks me
|
|
that. One guy even claimed he got them on the Sega version. He said you
|
|
had to hold the computer scoreless and go without letting your teammate
|
|
score for 10 games in a row. Food for thought.
|
|
|
|
The word is that NBA Jam: Tournament Edition will be available for SNES and
|
|
Genesis around Christmas. However, it is very possible that this will be
|
|
moved into the future. I guess we'll have to wait it out... :)
|
|
|
|
Also, has anyone noticed that the computer on TE cheats about twice as much
|
|
as on the original arcade Jam? The other day I won four games in a row,
|
|
then today I lost three consecutive. At the end of the fourth quarter in
|
|
all of these games, the computer would steal the ball from me just as I
|
|
inbounded :(
|
|
|
|
Congratulations to the Arkansas Razorbacks for capturing the 1994 NCAA
|
|
basketball title! We Arkansas fans are anxiously awaiting a repeat in 1995!
|
|
We are also anticipating seeing Corliss Williamson and Scotty Thurman in a
|
|
future version of Jam !!
