[Sideshow Bob]

so send it to you or rekib31?

John Wall.AKA.*Jive Buggin*, yes?

lol i kno but what in particular?

[KidJustin]

John Wall.AKA.*Jive Buggin*, well a little bit of everything i guess...

i'm best at rosters/database

but i've created logos....teams...overlays...backgrounds....

as far as stadiums/CF's/jerseys...i've made custom ones

just ask if u want something...n i'll see if i can do it (though i dont have as much time now, i'm always willing to help...or at least come up with a tutorial on how to)

If Manny Pacquiao wins against Antonio Margarito, can we add him to the jam roster? We know that Pacman also loves to play basketball and he's better

i want pacquiao in a shooting guard position..because he is a slasher..ahahah

[Andrew]

Like I said, it comes down to the faces that are made available to me.

[.PorkyJoker.o6]

Pacquiao is about 5'6, he's too small to be a shooting guard.
but if that fits him the most.......

Andrew, but if someone makes a cf of him, is there a spot for him?

[Andrew]

Yeah, I have no objections to including him if he's wanted enough for a cyberface to be made.

[Jhiane]

ej17 will make his cf

[Andrew]

Still working on this alongside the current roster updates and hope to have both out as soon as possible. For now, here's a preview of the sound effects from NBA Live 2004 that will be utilised by the mod:

Arcade Sound Effects

I can recall the sound effects from Live 2004.Really nice sounds,clearly feeling more arcadish.

Nice to see this mod is still on progress,can't wait to test this

[Andrew]

Yeah they fit the Jam atmosphere nicely. I would've liked to have used the sound files from 2003 but they don't work with 2004-08, so 2004's were the next best choice.

[Andrew]

I'm currently splitting time between this and the NLSC roster updates, with an eye to getting both out as soon as possible. For now, I thought I'd offer up a small preview of something I whipped up today though after spending some time with the Xbox 360 version of NBA Jam: a few more special characters, the Stickmen!



Based on the guys on the right in this screenshot, for those who are unaware:



Obviously it's not quite the same, but as we're not going to have that many special characters for v1.0 aside from the NBA Legends, I thought it might be fun to include them.

[jeloooo]

Nice.

[joemmel]

I think making their headshape into a bit rounded will make it closer to the real thing

[Andrew]

I can't make custom headshapes, if someone else wants to give that a shot feel free but otherwise I think the basic idea is there.

I should also mention that I'll be adding some rookies to v1.0 after all, though the 30 NBA teams will still make use of 10-man rosters. I'll just be replacing a few players currently in the active rosters as necessary.

[ejaycamua]

can we add jabbawockeez with mask on them so its easy to make CF..??

[Andrew]

I guess we could, if someone made the appropriate cyberface. Probably not my first choice for bonus characters though.

[joebalabag]

OH MY GUSH!!...what is this??unbelievable!bravo!...

[Healer2k]

nice one andrew ....
can't wait to play this ...

[Andrew]

I'm pleased to announce that this will be out soon. I've basically finished the 08 version and just need to polish it up and make the conversions for 2005 through 07 and it'll be out. I've played a few games with the finished rosters and I think everyone will like the results. Obviously we can't completely ape the gameplay of NBA Jam but in my opinion it plays a really fun game of arcade-style basketball and the custom court, ball and arcade sound effects really work for the atmosphere.

Here are some previews (also posted on our official Facebook page:

I just saw these pics on Facebook.I can't wait for the release.I love that Jack Nicholson is in the game.Great work.

[joemmel]

loooking forward for the release

[Jhiane]

does the TUP team or NLSC team include on the roster?

[KidJustin]

i believe he said in a following verison

too much work for the initial release

[Andrew]

We'd also need the appropriate face patches before we can do that.
