EA Sports has made it official – there will be no roster update, nor any type of post release support, for NBA Jam. Carmelo Anthony on the Knicks? Deron Williams on the Nets? You’re on your own.
A former Wii exclusive, EA’s NBA Jam is coming to the iPhone (and soon). Based on a brief peek at gameplay, via Touch Arcade, it’s looking on par with its console counterparts.
With NBA Jam on shelves and earning praise (deservedly), EA Sports is being a little more candid about NBA Elite, the canceled title and Jam’s original dancing partner.
His bombastic boothman persona in NBA Jam isn’t Tim Kitzrow’s only gaming credit. The guy also was the voice of Rod Serling in the classic Twilight Zone pinball table. He got his start from his bandmates, who worked for Midway.

NBA Jam on the 360 and PS3 hit shelves yesterday; today EA Sports is taking a page from the Old Spice YouTube campaign that drew raves. The announcer, Tim Kitzrow, is reading off Twitter-submitted catchphrases. Apparently mine (above) wasn’t objectionable.

“Look Wii, it’s not you, it’s just, it’s me. I need to see other people. I need to see them in high definition, I need to see them online… But I’ll always remember the good times…”
