NBA Jam (Arcade) - Team Select Music 15 mins.

saw the genesis/snes/sega cd versions up, but oddly not this one.

[@MrKeepnit100]

And now the choir will lead us in song as we give our offering

[@Bends95]

Ladies n Gentlemen..LETS JAM!!!

[@sfknns]

LOL what?

[@MrKeepnit100]

@@sfknns awww c'mon you know this sounds like a song they'd play at offering in a black church

[@JackTheDemon2x574]

believe it or not this is actually the game over music. all the other versions of this game used this theme as the team select.

[@Ziki-P]

Wait I came here because I wanted to dispute this, my arcade one up plays this at the end, so it was only consoles?

[@JackTheDemon2x574]

@@Ziki-P yes all the console versions of this game used this as the team select.

[@matmacsug]

I love the bass line in this! I really appreciate how different all the versions of the nba jam are.

[@Blessranger]

This song can also be heard if you have beaten all 27 teams in the arcade version of NBA Jam TE!

[@FilmJenkins]

If NBC can't get the rights to Roundball Rock back, I would gladly accept this a substitute.

[@mxpwr4003]

Very great theme.. also a trip down nostalgia road.. we took you for granted 90s .. !

[@BryanX64]

Got through the whole thing, and it was awesome.

[@thedefinitive1637]

That should be an Team Select music for the Arcade version of NBA Jam

[@Rochester92G]

Even the kick drum sounds like a basketball bouncing on hardwood.

[@lamarharambe4349]

This sounds like the tithes and offerings music they'd play at a Black church...childhood memories

[@lashaexo]

Lmfao 😂😂😂

[@onehungrypanda316]

Divac lays it up…for two! count it!!

[@Dorian_Scott]

I prefer the SNES version, but this is still pretty good. Especially that kick drum.

[@MrKeepnit100]

RAZZLE DAZZLE

[@darnellrogers5595]

I thought it was the Game Over theme in the arcade version but they used this song to select a team in the Genesis/Mega Drive but the Super Nintendo have it right

[@theungreatkahli]

Most popular video in this location.

[@gregholman2431]

Way groovy and cool. Very slick.

[@onehungrypanda316]

ITS GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!

[@diplomat0343]

Gotta give them props though its a good theme.I had the Sega Genesis

[@seanthomas6235]

Play this at .75 speed for a secret Com Truise track

[@Domvelando]

fuuuck

[@cwing1028]

I prefer the snes version of this song

[@NerdNoiseRadio]

I love every version of this track, but I also have a definite hierarchy of preference. From least to greatest [IMO] is Sega CD, SNES, Arcade, and the top dog, the Genesis. The Genesis has all the extra embellishments, the Arcade has almost a circusy fun to it, where the Sega CD - and especially the SNES version....sound like they're coming from down the hall. But as I said, I love them all, so I guess they're all winners ultimately.

[@Lightblue2222]

I like Genny's range. She enjoys a longer track. The other versions have nice soundfronts but feel more cut & repeat.

[@Acanofalconpunch]

@@NerdNoiseRadio I beg to differ Genesis is the worst one, sounds like it's running at 2 channels of audio at best. Sounds empty and bare.

[@NerdNoiseRadio]

@@Acanofalconpunch well, then I'm afraid we're gonna just have to agree to disagree, my friend. To my ears, any [quote unquote] "fullness" that the SNES version may have over the Genesis version is akin to the accumulation of reverberations of a tinny sound played loudly enough to echo down a long hallway. By contrast, the Genesis is crispy and punchy like it's right there next to you, and then, of course, is the only one that vamps. The SPC700 reverb on the SNES also has a weird tendency to produce an unpleasant sort of metallic "sizzliness", which is also on display here. That's the double whammy in my book. Your mileage may vary, of course, and if it does, then you'll just have to do you, boo boo, and I'll just have to do me.....um....boo boo. :-) I will say this though: I don't dislike any of the versions of this track. It's a fun track and results in something relatively pleasant anywhere and everywhere it goes. In fact, back in Nov 2017 (I can't remember if I said this in my original comment) I pit the SNES, Sega CD, Arcade, and Genesis versions against each other as the closing set of tracks in episode 18 of my show (my first ever "Face Off" episode). But the vector between how much I like the Genesis version, relative to how much I like the SNES is so extreme that it almost makes my feelings for the SNES version feel like dislike by comparison. My feelings about the Arcade version (2nd), and Sega CD version (3rd), of course, land somewhere in-between. But again, if we don't see eye to eye on this, we don't see eye to eye. You know, that's okay. Neither of us is an idiot, and the fabric of the internet doesn't unravel over it. It's just there's no changing my mind on this one, my man. I'm solidly team blue here. All the way. :-) Cheers!

[@solarflare9078]

@@Acanofalconpunch I agree. Like most crappy sounding Genesis games, it used the horrid GEMS driver for the sound. If I could share my preference of sound comparing this tune: 1st SNES 2nd Arcade 3rd SEGA CD 4th Genesis This is also coming from someone who loves the Mega Drive/Genesis sound too. I could even make a better sounding version on Deflemask when I have the time to master the program. [EDIT] Instructions unclear. Actually made NES version in Deflemask instead. Still better than the Mega Drive/Genesis version though

[@slowjamz4life]

THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THE MUSICIANS WOULD PLAY IN THE CHURCH(BLACK CHURCH) WHILE RECEIVING THE OFFERING!!! LOOOOOOOOOL!!! (^__^)

[@therangersrule68]

Not really. SNES ADPCM cannot reach the level of clarity of the YM2151 which this game uses or YM2612 which the Genesis uses. It also lacks the smoothness and flow of note changes, instead sounding very choppy.

[@emanatingf]

@therangersrule68 Exactly and while the SNES does shine in some games. The Genesis sound chip is more soulful, clean & versatile. A fari amount of SNES's music can have too much Reverb.

[@kenrickeason]

@@emanatingf Donkey Kong Country's music mops the floor with almost any Genesis Game you throw out there.. Maybe except The Streets of Rage 2..

Whoop, just when through it a second time.

I have this arcade game in my private home collection and every time I hear this music it reminds me of 70s porn music lol

So to clarify, you were unsatisfied with your response 3 weeks ago, so left this grammatical mess (presumably to attempt to be a Top Comment) in a sarcastic "Take That" manner that's not even particularly funny? Brilliant.

[@spinct83]

funny that the super nintendo version is better than this...

[@scottshomo2205]

Sega version theme sounds better

[@Makron5]

The console music was better than this thing. Good lord.

[@mastersofthemathematics]

Jordan, Pippin ran it..

[@strangerreality]

@spinct83 It's probably because this version uses FM synthesis similar to the Genesis while the SNES used sample-based music. Sample-based music is more versatile due to the fact that you can use nearly any sound you want in your music.

[@solarflare9078]

Yeah. They chose some god-tier instruments for the SNES version too, unlike most SNES games.
