Ohhhh, man, SLAMBALL! When this sport first came out, I thought it was going to be huge! Unfortunately, it comes across as a bit too "fake" on television. I can't quite explain it, but something was off.

It's a fantastic idea, though. I hope it comes back strong.

Haha yeah this game is cool. I would LOVE to play it (although I kinda suck at sports)

well if they played with that intensity they did on the movie it would be good but i doubt they get slamed into the wall like that all the time.... so i bet when it was on tv it just looked like a crapy dunk contest on trampolens

No, they actually played like that. It's an interesting idea, one part basketball, one part hockey. I'm more into the shooting part of basketball (although I love the dunk contest, Dwight Howard was SICK this year, he should have been a back-to-back dunk champion, but I digress) which makes this hard to watch with the super reinforced rims and anything that isn't a dunk clanging horribly.

same as sabby i like basketball for shooting but this just looks intense!

in all reality since they brought back american gladiators this might be good for that but other wise just looks like jump goal tend push goal tend jump points
