NBA Jam: On Fire Edition (stylised as NBA JAM: On Fire Edition) is an upcoming basketball video game by EA Sports, scheduled for release in October 2011. It will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 via digital download in the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network Store. The game is a sequel to the reboot of NBA Jam by EA Sports and will contain new elements such as online roster updates and enhanced AI, borrowed from EA's Fight Night series of boxing games.

Announcement

The game was officially announced on April 5th 2011, in a press released which also confirmed the release of EA's next NBA sim title in the Fall of 2012. It will be the first game in the series to be available exclusively via digital download and is scheduled for release in October 2011. The press release also featured a preliminary features list, touting some of the new features that are planned for the game.

Development & Overview

NBA Jam: On Fire Edition will feature the traditional two-on-two arcade-style gameplay that has become synonymous with the NBA Jam series. Whereas last year's NBA Jam sought to diversify the experience with its Remix Modes and Boss Battles, On Fire Edition has focused on enhancing traditional tournament play and the game's artificial intelligence, borrowing the Real AI technology from EA Sports' Fight Night series for a more dynamic and challenging gameplay experience.

The game will mark the return of two popular features from the original series, Team Fire and Tag Mode. Team Fire will be triggered the same way as in previous games, by performing three consecutive alley-oops without allowing the opponent to score. Tag Mode allows players to once again switch control of players when passing the ball back and forth in a solo game, rather than being locked to one player. In true NBA Jam fashion, the game will also include a large range of secret and unlockable players.

On August 22nd 2011, it was revealed that the Seattle Supersonics would be featured in the game with a roster of Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton and Detlef Schrempf. The announcement also included information on three online modes: Jam Now, Road Trip and Arena.
