NBA The Run was released yesterday and it was carrying high hopes for fans nostalgic for NBA JAM and NBA Street. However, for us, it came as a bit of a letdown. For starters, the developers’ decision to offer only online matches is clearly disappointing for anyone who would have liked to play solo or with friends on the same couch. Then there’s the lack of a training mode to learn the basics of team play, since you can only practice with one player only. Finally, from what we’ve seen so far, it doesn't feel that Play By Studios’ title offers enough depth and precision to make us want to dive into it seriously. These are just our very first impressions, of course, but we’d rather warn you that we weren’t all that excited by the the game in its current state.
