[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 175988, member: 896"] I have played the table a couple of times IRL and also played the VPM version. I may not be neutral in my opinion because I'm a big NBA fan. But just on the flipper side of things: I really liked the table, fun art, nice DMD animations, great sound and a lot to do although it has not a terrible deep ruleset. At the start of the "game" you can choose out of different NBA teams, and in game that means that shots are called out for at least three key players of that team. The gameplay has good flow and there are a lot of combo shots to make. It has an innovative idea about scoring points (you score points just like in a real basketball game, so a top score may be around 140 points) and I also like the VUK's from where you can shoot at the basket while you have to dodge a defender. On VPM it was quite easy to score, on the real table it was much more difficult making it more of a fun challenge. The minigame in the backbox is a bit gimmicky for my taste and not something that requires a lot of skill. I would really like to see a TPA version of it, and I think it ticks some innovative boxes that would make it a good candidate for "preserving". I don't know if the theme speaks to everyone, but there are a lot of sports fans on this forum. I also think it's a difficult license because besides the NBA itself, it uses the names of real players of that particular '90s era. I don't know if that can be a package deal, but I know from several video games that there had to be seperate deals with particular players to get them in the games, for example Michael Jordan.
