The game uses a 3D court view centered on fast 2-on-2 basketball. Players can quickly pass, dribble, shoot, steal, and block while building momentum through successful plays. A hot state boosts shooting and overall effectiveness, encouraging streak-based offense. Modes include exhibition-style matches, season play, and practice-oriented options, with progression focused on team selection, matchup variety, and performance across games.
NBA Jam 2000 was developed by Acclaim Studios Dallas and published by Acclaim Entertainment as a Nintendo 64 continuation of the classic arcade basketball series. It keeps the franchise’s signature 2-on-2, high-speed style, emphasizing outrageous dunks, hot streak scoring, and energetic commentary while adding updated rosters and fully 3D presentation.

Use passing to create open lanes instead of forcing contested shots. On defense, guard the paint and passing lanes rather than chasing blocks too aggressively. Once a hot streak starts, keep pressure on the score and exploit the boosted accuracy. When ahead, slow the pace and reduce turnovers.
