#NBA Hoopz

[retrogamingloft]

NBA Hoopz is an arcade-style basketball game developed by Midway and released in 2001. Building on the success of its predecessors like NBA Jam and NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC, the game delivers a fast-paced, exaggerated take on basketball that emphasizes fun over realism. With its 3-on-3 format, it encourages flashy moves, high-flying dunks, and special abilities, making gameplay exciting and unpredictable. It was designed for both casual players and arcade enthusiasts, with simple controls that are easy to pick up but challenging enough to keep things engaging over time.

The PlayStation 2 version brings the arcade experience to life with improved graphics, smoother animations, and a more fluid overall experience. It allows players to choose from early 2000s NBA teams, featuring recognizable stars, and compete in a variety of game modes like arcade matches, tournaments, and full-season play. The courts range from realistic NBA venues to playful, thematic environments, which enhance the lighthearted atmosphere. The "on fire" mechanic, a staple of Midway's basketball titles, is present, where consecutive successful plays lead to heightened abilities. Power-ups also make gameplay even more outrageous, contributing to its wild, fun nature. The game’s focus on offense, particularly the gravity-defying dunks and slam-heavy gameplay, creates a high-octane basketball experience focused on spectacle rather than strategy.

However, I have mixed feelings about the game. While I did enjoy the fast, arcade-style action and over-the-top moves, I couldn’t help but feel like it was too similar to earlier Midway basketball games. It’s fun in bursts, especially in multiplayer with friends, where its loose interpretation of the rules and rough play shine, but it tends to get repetitive over time. The PS2 version’s visuals are polished and vibrant, and the animations, especially when it comes to dunks and flashy moves, are fluid and exciting. But despite the energetic gameplay and sound design, it lacks the kind of innovation I was hoping for. It’s great for quick, action-packed sessions, but it doesn’t really stand out from its predecessors like NBA Jam.

Ultimately, NBA Hoopz is an enjoyable arcade basketball game, but one that might not hold your attention for long if you’re familiar with earlier Midway titles. It’s perfect for players who love pulling off crazy dunks and flashy plays, but if you're looking for something more unique or strategic, this might not be the one to keep you coming back.

Lizzie’s Rampage! 🏙💥🦖♀️

CHAPTER TWO: Day 1 - Peoria, Illinois

⭐⭐ BREAKING NEWS ⭐⭐

Good evening. This is Nancy Scott with WBC, World Broadcasting Corporation. Tonight's top story is a world news report. I'm reporting live from Peoria, Illinois, covering the destruction of this midwestern city at the hands of three monsters; mutated human beings exposed to radiation from an explosion at the ScumLabs facility in Toxic Hollow, another Illinois town a short distance from here. I've been allowed to stay alive while reporting on the monsters, who are calling themselves George, Lizzie and Ralph, in exchange for documenting their destructive rampage across the state of Illinois, and soon, according to the monsters, the entire Earth! They think they'll be on the winning side of history against humanity's armed forces and wish to have their legacy documented for future generations. We'll have to wait and see whether this prediction of theirs comes true or not. Oh, one moment...yes...yes...okay...I’ve been notified just now by Lizzie that I am to start writing what she says down and post it to her blog, or...uh...I'll be digested without a second thought. *ahem* Well, on uh, that note...here is Lizzie's perspective on this path of destruction being carved through Illinois, and possibly your hometown soon...stay safe America...

⭐⭐ LIZZIE'S TAKE ⭐⭐

With Toxic Hollow a pile of smoking rubble, George, Ralph and I made our way to the nearby city of Peoria. It was our first step towards wiping out the state of Illinois, and someday the rest of the world! ScumLabs already did most of the work for us in Toxic Hollow with the lab explosion, but Peoria we dismantled with our bare hands from start to finish! In that sense, it was a rather significant chapter in our tour of destruction! Peoria was home to nearly 120,000 people before we showed up. That number plummeted after we had our fun!

While we there, we destroyed many homes in the suburbs and city buildings! One of them in particular caught my eye. It seemed to be some sort of video game development studio known as Game Refuge. I read the name off their sign before punching it to pieces! I wonder what kinds of video games they made...Well, it's no matter, they should have been making games about US, the MONSTERS! Maybe they'll learn their lesson now that all their precious game development equipment is a pile of scrap metal! Next time, make a game about US!!!

⭐⭐ FACT TIME! ⭐⭐

Nancy's not the only one that can do this job. CAMERAMAN!! Get my good side. I SAID MY GOOD SIDE!! There we go, you're capturing my beauty quite nicely now. Here are a few interesting facts about Peoria prior to its destruction beneath our feet!

📌 A war known as the Peoria War was fought by humans here during the War of 1812. It involved battles between Native American tribes and American settlers, and it lasted for about a month. Humans seem to fight and shed each other’s blood a lot. And somehow, we're the monsters? Why don't you humans look at yourselves in the mirror before criticizing us?

📌 Peoria is an archetype of midwestern American culture, so much so that the phrase "Will it play in Peoria?" has become something to say when questioning the mass appeal of things like stage plays, books, television shows and movies. Peoria is also commonly used as a filler town name for when one is needed in fictional stories. Well, I'll say this much; we certainly played in Peoria! And the only thing it's filled with now is the smoldering ruins of toppled buildings! Ha ha ha!

📌 Michael Jordan made his NBA debut with the Chicago Bulls in Peoria back in 1984. He was never cool enough to make it into Midway's NBA Jam, Hangtime, Showtime or Hoopz games though (The best basketball games ever! I would know. As a bit of a Midway star myself, (See? Told you I was a narcissist.) I know a thing or two about good video games, and Midway made a lot of them!). It's a shame he wasn't in Peoria when we destroyed it! I bet he would have made a nice meal.

⭐⭐ SCORE SHEET! ⭐⭐

For us monsters, destroying things is quite fun! In fact, George and Ralph started keeping score of their rampaging, so it's time I followed suit! Let's see if you can top this, boys. Dr. Veronica seems impressed! Ladies can total cities too, y'know!

Well, with Peoria wiped off the map, it's time for us three to make haste to the next city! You better have written everything down, Nancy. YES, I MEAN ALL OF IT. Don’t play games with me...where was I? Oh yes. Our hunger for RAMPAGE is insatiable!! I’ll see you all next time, when we destroy...

KANKAKEE, ILLINOIS!!!

Nba street soundtrack list

The other, and possibly most significant, aspect of NBA Street that helps it revolutionize the genre is the way that it has essentially re-invented the blocked shot. Likewise, if you only concentrate on putting the ball in the hoop and nothing else, you might find yourself at a point where you lose a lead because your foe hits a 2-point Gamebreaker that turns your three-point lead into a deficit. If you just concentrate on tricks alone, you could find yourself having to force bad shots as time is expiring on the clock, giving your opposition an advantage. And if you hit a 2-pointer, the outcome is a swing of a total of four points as the player gets two, while the opponent loses the same.Īs a result, players are forced to try and find a balance between trying to do as many tricks as possible while still remaining competitive on the court. With a standard 1-point shot, the player not only gets the point added to his total, but it's also subtracted from his opponent's score. Players are rewarded for performing tricks, combinations or special moves by having their Gamebreaker meter fill up, which when filled gives them an opportunity to hit a shot that could single-handedly change the outlook of the game. And much like SSX, this isn't something that's just for show as it's integrated perfectly with the gameplay. By pressing the trick button in conjunction with any one or combination of the shoulder buttons, the controlled player will perform specific moves in conjunction with the button presses. The two most significant of these new features is an SSX-like trick system and the re-invention of the blocked shot.įor those that have played the very first game released under the EA Sports Big label, SSX, the new trick system will give you a bit of deja vu. People fearing the same thing with NBA Street need not worry, though, as the developers at EA Canada and NuFX have added some features that might just revolutionize the seemingly exhausted genre. But instead of revolutionizing the genre, all this made most players think is that they were getting the exact same game with just another player. Gameplay To try and improve on the arcade basketball genre that seemed pretty maxed out with NBA Showtime, Midway went ahead and upped the ante by adding a third player per team with the release of its NBA Hoopz game.

Shaq Gets At Damian Lillard In Diss Track, Dame D.O.L.L.A. Roasts Diesel With Ass-Cuttin’ Response

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz

Uh oh, it looks like Shaquille O’Neal out here looking for beef and we ain’t talkin’ about the flame broiled that comes in sesame seeded buns kind. Obviously taking issue with Dame telling Joe Buddens that he’s a better rapper than Shaquille O’Neal was making history as the first NBA player to also be a platinum plaque packing rapper, Shaq decided to drop his first ever diss track and took aim at the Portland Trailblazer’s star point guard. Hoping on Eminem’s instrumental to “What’s The Difference?,” Shaq let off some unapologetic bars off on Dame and went straight for the jugular with lines like, “MVP candidates, you are not one/platinum plaques on my wall, go and get you some… legendary, i’m a Hip-Hop scholar/I’m tryin’ to get a billion, who gives a f*ck about a dolla?! Little boys better stay in they place/next time they ask you about Shaq, man fix your face!” Shaq-Fu still got darts, b!

Oh, you thought Dame D.O.L.L.A was going to take that lying down, Diesel? Don’t you know how disrespectful these millennials can get nowadays? Well, you ’bout to find out.

Not even 24 hours after Shaq went at Dame, the D.O.L.L.A. man responded with a scathing blast back track and held no punches as he clowned the NBA Hall of Famer with bars like “I’m new school, got new hits/Space Jam not Blue Chips/hang-man, your shoe sh*t/Dame 6, i’m too lit/big name got big brand but you corny/gift bags get purchased every time you get horny, then they repo’d.” Daaaaaaayuuuumn! Dame went on to fillet Shaquille by stating Kobe and D-Wade won him those championships and how useless he was by the time he signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Well, at least he never mentioned Shaq’s wild relationship with Hoopz.

Check out Dame’s response below and let us know who had the better diss cut in the comments section.
