Ball your way up to the top of the league with unthinkable slams and outrageous plays to get the crowd pumped for momentum on your side! Momentum mania! As you play for points, you will also play to fill up your Momentum Gauge. Once the Momentum gauge is maxed out, the team goes into Momentum Mania, which boosts offensive and defensive abilities, allowing for flashier, bigger plays.

    At its heart, it's a realistic basketball game that tries to be an arcade game. If Tecmo stuck with their roots and made it the game an actual arcade style b-ball game a la Tecmo Bowl, NBA Unrivaled would have been awesome but with stiff gameplay and wonky AI, the only thing good about this game is the way it looks.

    At a whopping price, this is one game worth missing out on. [Issue#54, p.105]

    There's a reason why there's only twelve people currently on the leaderboards for NBA Unrivaled and that is that this is one of the worst Xbox Live games released in recent memory.

    One of the fastest "delete game" motions I have ever made. The characters motions look terrible, the play is nearly unfathomable, the AI is dumb as a board, there are no plays for teams. It's way, way, way worse than NBA Jam. From 1993 or so. Way worse.… Expand
