Introduction:
The Midway classic, NBA Jam, is back and put on mobile devices including the Windows Phone, iPhone/iPad, and Android devices. This game, of course, features the classic 2-2 basketball with insane and zany dunking and alley-oops. If you played the game back in the 90s, or even later than then and enjoyed it, then you're sure to enjoy the mobile port.
The game features three main game modes. The Play Now mode allows you to play a standalone game against the CPU of the teams of your choice. Classic Campaign mode puts you in a lenghty course of playing against a series of divisions with the team of your choice. Lastly, Multiplayer mode allows you to play online against random players with the team of your choice.
Walkthrough:
For this game, you may only need to play the Classic Campaign. It's suggested that if you don't have all of the miscellaneous achievements by the time you finish everything involving the Classic Campaign, that you try and "grind" out the achievement through the Play Now mode.
The most time consuming achievements are the ones that require you to complete the Classic Campaign using a team from each division. This means that you need to use a single team from the Central, Southeast, Atlantic, Northwest, Pacific, and Southwest and beat the Classic Campaign with each. There's a total of 37 games in a campaign and a total of six different divisions. If you break down the game into two minute quarters that means 8 minutes per game. Playing a total of 222 games at 8 minutes per game yields to about 30 hours total of gameplay in the Classic Campaign. It's safe to assume that one should yield most if not all of the achievements in the game while going through this game mode. If you, however, don't obtain miscellaneous achievements, refer to the guide below.
Conclusion:
While not particularly hard, earning all of the achievements in NBA Jam will be a quite consuming task. If you've managed to brave through all 222+ games required, congratulations on a well-earned 200.
