NBA Pinball By Stern of 2009 at www.pinballrebel.com
Although the game has new code and artwork the playfield layout
is borrowed from an earlier design. This was most likely done to
speed development time
and to reduce costs in the slower economic times in which the game was
released. Still sports like basketball are a great theme and will
draw both
the casual player in the tavern or bar and the home gameroom
owner. Several current stars of the NBA are featured on the glass
artwork.
Pinball Glass has many different players from various NBA teams.
A look at the playfield from the bottom towards the top
Lower playfield has inserts in the style of NBA championship rings.
One of the main toys is a spinning disc in the shape of a basketball in
the center of the playfield.
Complete view of the playfield. Note the two sets of standup
targets and the playfield crossing ball rail.
The upper right section of the pinball machine has a ramp and a
basketball as well as two kick out saucers.
Here is a view of the upper part of the playfield.

Here in the upper right of the playfield you can see three jet bumpers,
a set of MVP drop targets, and a basketball goal with a magnet that
will catch the ball and drop it into the basket to score shots.

A metal ramp leads to the basketball goal shot. Note the ramp has
circular cutouts on it to allow light to diffuse through.
Overall view of the upper playfield.
The cabinet artwork is very bright and features team logos of various
NBA basketball teams.

Middle playfield view.
Note the various mode lights around the spinning disc.
The pop bumpers have artwork to make them look like a basketball going
through a basket. These bumper caps would be a neat modification
to order for other basketball themed pinball games.
A good effort by Stern to use and existing layout and deliver a title
that will appeal to many.
