361.0. "Jordan vs. Bird" by MTHOOD::JOYNERGL () Wed Nov 29 1989 18:58

    Has anyone tried Jordan vs. Bird?  I am contemplating getting either
    J vs. B or Hoops, which ever is better.  Any reviews would be greatly
    appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    Glen Joyner.

361.1	Jordan vs Bird or Hoops	SHALOT::FAILE	Thief! Baggins! We hates it!	`Wed Nov 29 1989 19:59`	19
	It depends on what you like best. On J VS. B, the 1on1 game is not that great. The graphics are good and the players have the same type of play they do in the real game. There is also a slam dunk contest and a three point shooting contest. Both of these are great, but I don't know if that makes the game worth buying. In Hoops you have a wide selection of players to choose from. All the players excel in different areas of the game of basketball. There is a speedy 3 pt. shooter, a fancy passer, a mean inside player, and even a couple of ladies. You can play 1on1 against a friend or the computer. The same goes for 2on2. But there is a twist, against the computer on 2on2, 2 players can play on the same tean against the computer. The contest of the game is to win a certain amount of games in a tournament style contest. I believe you have to win 16 games and you have beat the game. Hope I have been of some help, Jeff
361.2	Hope for Hoops!	MTHOOD::JOYNERGL		`Thu Nov 30 1989 18:03`	6
	Thank you very much! It looks to me that Hoops is a little bit better. If anyone else has a review of either Hoops or J vs. B, please don't hesitate to enter it. I could use all the advice I can get. Thanks again, Glen "Hoops" Joyner.

361.4	Hoops = 4 Player Action	AUSTIN::MACNEAL	Big Mac	`Fri Dec 01 1989 12:28`	2
	Hoops is also supposed to be able to take advantage of the upcoming 4 player NES controller.
361.5	Hoops is better	AKOV13::SALLOWAY	You'll See Perpetual Change	`Fri Dec 01 1989 13:04`	11
	I rented BvJ last night and was very disappointed. Taking a shot works different in each of the different games, sometimes you press A, sometimes B. The one-on-one was hard to control and rather uninteresting. I had trouble gauging the depth of the court. Jordan's slamming is fun, but boring after you've seen each example a few times. Bird gets too many 3-point shots, so the 1-1 is very tough for Jordan. I liked hoops a lot better, especially the cooperative play against the computer. BvJ looks better, but the game play stinks. -Brian
361.6	how about Double Dribble ??	CANYON::LEEDS	Scuba dooba doo	`Tue Jun 05 1990 16:46`	5
	Anyone have any comments on how HOOPS compares to "Double Dribble" ? We rented Double Dribble a while ago and it was ok, but haven't tried Hoops yet.

	I thought it was ok, I like double dribble best. Ben

361.9	Best Basketball Game?	MARX::MCCROSSAN		`Mon Oct 14 1991 10:58`	5
	I'd like to revive this discussion if I may. I'm looking for a Basketball game and was wondering if anyone would like to offer an update to the opinions in this note. Thanks
