Trivia

• NBA Jam Extreme, whether you love it or hate it, holds a very important place in PlayStation history. This is the game that acted as the base engine for the promotional demo disc NBA 2 Ball. If you load NBA 2 Ball into a PC and this game, you can actually see the same file folders and assets used.
• The inner tray artwork for the game shows logos for Killing Time and NFL Quarterback ’98. Neither of them were released on the PlayStation, though Killing Time did release on the 3DO.
• There really are only 4 people on the cover – the correct amount for the game.

Secrets

NBA Jam Extreme took secret characters and codes to a whole new level of creativity and craziness. There are also a ton of codes!

‘Keep a Record?’ Codes – Per Team Codes

These codes are used at the ‘Keep a Record’ screen after choosing ‘Yes’ to input the 3 initials and then the date. You will need to hold L1 and R1 till you get to the giant logo loading screen.

Note: There are substantionally more codes than provided. However its been discovered that a decent amount are incorrectly assigned or missing – at a source code level. Thankfully, there are multiple versions of the “Unlock All Teams” to make it easy on you. I plan on researching what caused the chaos with the  affected codes in the mean time.
