14: Personal Review
---------------------------------
I didn't hear about NBA Hoopz for a long time. I knew it existed but I 
didn't really know what kind of game it was nor what the whole concept was 
about. When I went to my friends house and he let me borrow the game, I fell 
in love with it immediently. To this date, I play this game hours a day with 
my friends trying to upgrade my basketball player as much as possible. Most 
people will likely pass on this game because they will think that its just 
like NBA Showtime except with another player. But in my opinion, the extra 
player outshines every other option added.

It's very noticable that Midway did not spend that much attention on the 
graphics in NBA Hoopz. The graphics are roughly the same as NBA Showtime 
except the players all seem very strong. I never knew that people like Mugsy 
Boges had muscles the size of his head. The courts are nicely designed like 
usual but there is some slight sort of framerate drop when your player 
becomes ''On Fire''. Other than that, the graphics in NBA Hoopz are good.

Gameplay-wise, NBA Hoopz delivers the most fun you can ever have in a 
basketball game. Not only is there the original 3 on 3 mode, there is 2 
ball, a 3 point shoot out, around the world, and a couple other games that 
you can play on your freetime. Also, there is a Create-A-Player mode where 
you can build up your character to whatever you want him to be like. For 
example, you can make your player 8 feet tall and only weigh 140 pounds. 
Once you get good at this game, you can beat everyone with your created 
players.

Control is off the hook in NBA Hoopz. Just like NBA Showtime, NBA Jam, etc. 
you can pick up the game and learn the controls by halftime. Basically all 
you need to know is the shoot button, the pass button, and the turbo button. 
Other than that, there is really no other essential controls that you would 
need to learn in NBA Hoopz.

The sound in NBA Hoopz is great. There is a lot of trash talking by players 
and the announcer always has something to say. Basically, the only thing I 
could ask for is the NBA on NBC music which was excellent in NBA Showtime. 
Other than that, I couldn't have asked for anything else.

So now you are probably wondering if you should buy this game. If you have 
any passion for basketball you should go to your local videogame store and 
pick this game up right now. If you are just a casual sports fan you should 
at least pick this game up to see what it is about. You won't be 
disappointed.

Overall: 9
Graphics: 7
Gameplay: 10
Sound: 8
Fun Factor: 10
Lasting Appeal: 10

16: Frequently Asked Questions
---------------------------------
There are a lot of questions that a lot of people regularly ask about NBA 
Hoopz.  Here I have listed a lot of the questions I have received.

Question:
I heard this game is basically like NBA Showtime is that true?
Answer:
Yeah, the engine is basically the same except now there is an extra player 
on each team which makes the game a lot more fun.  Also, there is updated 
rosters and a few mini games to keep you busy if you are bored with the 
original mode.

Question:
I heard that the AI is a bit funny in the game.  Is that true?
Answer:
Like most basketball arcade games the AI makes the game close at the end.  
If you are winning in the 4th quarter the team that is losing will make 
shots that are basically impossible to make in real life and steal most of 
the passes that you throw down court.  A lot of people like this but I 
really don't care for it.

Question:
I have Playstation 2 and Dreamcast and I wanted to know if I should buy NBA 
Hoopz or NBA Street?
Answer:
Well, personally I like NBA Street a bit better because NBA Hoopz feels like 
a game that I have playing for years (NBA Jam, NBA Showtime, etc.)  NBA 
Streetz has a whole new look to basketball which makes the game not only 
more fun to play but a lot more satisfying.

Question:
Who endorses NBA Hoopz?
Answer:
Well, that's a pretty easy question if you just look on the cover you could 
see that Shaqueille O'neal endorses the game.

Question:
I'm having some problems with this game.  Where can I find help?

e-mail me about the game please put in the Subject of the email NBA Hoopz so 
I know what game I'm getting e-mailed about.  If I just see hey or something 
like that, I might think it's porn and just delete it.  Now if you write an 
educated e-mail to me, then for sure you will get a response.  Thanks.
