NBA Jam: OFE Will Get Roster Updates

Here is the entire article

EA Sports has confirmed to Kotaku that NBA Jam: On Fire Edition will be getting a roster update. The publisher's preceding silence on the subject had led some to believe it had abandoned post-release support for the 2-on-2 arcade basketball game.

Responding to a Kotaku request for comment, an EA Sports spokeswoman said that's not the case. "We will be providing roster updates for NBA Jam: On Fire Edition this season." She didn't say when or how many, specifically, adding only "more information to come."

NBA Jam: On Fire Edition shipped Oct. 4, two months before the end of a lockout that had essentially frozen video game rosters at their 2010-11 season makeup, without any rookies from the June draft. A frenetic free agency period has rearranged the top stars on many teams, while Jam's rosters have remained static to this point.

Good to know that the update is still coming, but it would have been nice to have already.

Excellent news indeed, though a shame we didn’t get a date at this time. The roster updates should breathe new life into the game with a few exciting new duos to play with and as an advertised feature, it’s certainly important that they come through on delivering the updates this year.
