Completing loops, shooting combos, doing hurry ups. For example (if memory serves) there's a mode where you score layups for a limited time by just shooting the ramps over and over, and it feels like when you combo the peasant ramp and damsel ramp back to back on MM. This is very much a flow table, not a catch and shoot. At the same time you are scoring, so is the AI. You have a 24 second shot clock for most of the modes. Much like MM, most of the loops and ramps require 4 times of completion to earn that mode. Once all the modes are earned, you can win that game and move onto a different team. Or I think that's how it works, I'm very fuzzy on this as it's been a while. The main goal of the game is to win the championship which is very satisfying. You earn a ring next to your initials for doing that.When I was a kid, I had this basketball 'board' game, which was a cardboard base that had holes cut all over. You played with a ping pong ball, and it would roll around and land in one of the holes. Each hole had a little metal tab that when flicked, would send the ball flying toward your hoop that stood like a real one on either end of the court. NBA Fastbreak reminds me of this, and the tension you'd feel of needing to make the basket before the other guy did.While playing this table, you'll get a constant feeling of anxiety when for some reason you can no longer hit that one shot as the 24 second timer counts down. Flip side, is when you suddenly hit the groove and just crush it over and over, racking up a bunch of points. It's what I love best about the machine. It truly is unlike any other table's scoring, yet very satisfying. I know it's not kosher to say, but download this thing in VP and get a feel for it. You're either gonna love it or hate it, but give it a few dozen plays before deciding.</blockquote>
