About the Game
Welcome to an updated version of the game NBA Jam 2K20: Tournament Edition! You can choose to play the game as one of the popular athletes in the world, such as James Harden, Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Zion Williamson, Kawhi, and many other superstars! The game has similar features and mechanics to the previous version; it also comes with 30 playable teams, including renowned teams such as the Grizzlies, the World Champion Raptors, and the Pelicans.
NBA Jam 2K20: Tournament Edition is a fan-made ROM hack based on NBA Jam: Tournament Edition for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The hack updates the original game with 2019โ20 NBA season team rosters while preserving the arcade basketball gameplay that made NBA Jam famous. It is an unofficial fan project and is not affiliated with Midway Games, the NBA, or the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).
๐ Classic NBA Jam With 2019โ20 Rosters
The biggest change in this ROM hack is the roster update.
Instead of using the original 1990s lineups, the game features teams based on the 2019โ20 NBA season.
You can play with many of the league's stars from that season while enjoying the original Tournament Edition gameplay.
๐ฅ The Original Tournament Edition Gameplay
The gameplay remains faithful to NBA Jam: Tournament Edition.
Each match is played with:
- Two players on each team
- Arcade-style basketball
- High-flying dunks
- Long-range shots
- Steals
- Blocks
- Turbo boosts
The exaggerated style and quick matches remain unchanged.
๐ฎ Tournament Edition Features

These include:
- Player substitutions
- Expanded team rosters
- Attribute ratings
- Hot spots on the court
- Power-up icons
