Arcade-style college basketball with team editing, season play, and over-the-top action
The briefing
College Slam is an arcade-style basketball game built around fast, exaggerated play rather than realism. Before a game, each team selects two players from a five-player roster, with substitutions available during timeouts and at halftime.
Scoring streaks trigger announcer callouts: two consecutive baskets produce “He's heating up,” while three straight baskets without an opposing score produce “He's on fire!” and make scoring easier. The exaggerated action includes easy full-court shots and occasional lightning strikes during dunks, with games commonly ending in the middle to high 100s.
