NBA Jam: On Fire Edition Online Details
Though NBA 2K12 is the premiere league-licensed title to release in less than two weeks another is on the way in the form of NBA Jam: On Fire Edition.

Today the company announced that another patch has reached internal testing - after which it will need to go to Microsoft and Sony (meaning it's probably around three weeks out).
