Hey everybody, just because I adore this game, I wanted to start a thread and see if anybody had any interest in further categories/ways to run this game.

I've thought about doing a lot of things: biggest blowout would be great but would probably fit at TwinGalaxies more than this. Fastest to 50 or Fastest to 100 points could be something we could maybe do. I've wanted to do an all-27 teams run for a while. higher difficulty runs could be a lot of fun too

Anybody got any specific ideas or things to go for to add categories?

All 27 teams would be interesting, especially knowing if it were to exist, the main rule would be to win the games. Fastest up to a certain amount of points could be a thing as well, I know nba 2k17 & 18 have the category.

I always figured a fastest to 100 would be good. I was even going to do a run of it and submit it as a category.

I'd be down. Fastest to 100+ and also designate the difficulty.

I've submitted a 'fastest to 100 points' run, with the CPU on easiest. I've also subsequently beat that run, but. It's a very fun category to play, that's for sure

Since the new category is a thing now!

Let me propose the settings/rules and let me see what y'all think.

Timing begins: on team selection
Timing ends: the frame the score appears on screen showing 100 or more points.

Mine was on V. Easy difficulty, V. Slow timer, Tag Off, CPU Assist Off, but I think we can allow the options to be open to whatever the runner wishes... other than tag mode which I don't know, I imagine all of my other options are the fastest available.

Maybe 40watt's idea of adding a difficulty column would be advisable if we get more runners? Until then, c'mon folks run this! This category is fire. I've got proof sub-5 is possible, with proof that I'm cursed and this game is troll-city. This hurt.

Sub 5 or riot.

I'd love to see an all 27-teams run. I'd only imagine how that ruleset would be built out.

Hello,

I am starting a longplay stream of NBA JAM on V.HARD today. I can see that there is a NBA CHAMPION for NBA HANGTIME, achieved 2hr 40min.
Maybe a category like this could be added to this game.

"Start time on team select, end on final buzzer when you've won the final game.

Include emulator version if run on emulator."

It would be best if any difficulty could be used and also any timer speed. For entertaining purposes I would think the CPU ASSISTANCE would be better if left ON.

These are the current rules settings for that category.

Sincerely,
Jak
