How to Play
Rally Shots
AFTERTOUCH can also be applied, in the same way, to shots taken during a rally. In addition to the standard shot (carried out using either A, B or C), further shots can be created using X, Y or Z. These buttons apply Backspin, Lob, or Topspin respectively.
Special Moves
Diving, smashes, super smashes, etc., are automatically achieved when the player is in the correct position at the right time. This occurs specifically when the player is too far from the ball to take a standard shot.
The Main Menu
The Main Menu is used to select a Match Style or to enter the Options Menu. Use Up or Down on the D-Pad to highlight an option and press A or C to select it.
The Options Menu
The Options Menu is used to adjust various elements of the game. Toggle the values beside each Option by highlighting it and pressing A or C.
Note: 'Long Play' and 'Quick Play' options refer only to Tournament play. The tie-break option only affects the final set; all other sets will feature tie-breaks.
The Pause Menu
During a game, pressing START toggles Pause Mode ON / OFF. Pausing the game brings up the Pause Menu.
Options here may be highlighted using Up or Down on the D-Pad and then selected by pressing A or C. Note that for the Action Replay option, use the L or R buttons to control the camera angles. Press the START button to end the Action Replay.
Getting Started
To set up a game, you must first select the Match Style (Singles, Doubles, etc.), the players, and a court upon which to play.
Selecting A Player
1. Highlight a player portrait by pressing Left or Right on the D-Pad.
2. Press A or C to select.
3. Press B to return to the Main Menu.
This procedure applies for each stage of the selection process. In either Super Cup or Practice mode, only one player needs to be selected. In a Singles Cup match, two players must be selected.
In a Doubles match, four players must be selected. In Tournament mode, while up to eight players may be selected, a minimum of four must be chosen.
Player Information
•
CHOOSE PLAYER 1: Displays Name, Age, Nationality, Ranking, and Comments.
•
Navigation: Use Left or Right on the D-Pad to select players.
Selecting A Court
1. Cycle through the available court options by pressing Left or Right on the D-Pad.
2. Press A or C to select.
3. Press B to move back through the options.
Human or CPU?
The first player to be selected from any controller will always be under HUMAN control. If a second player is chosen using the same controller, then it will automatically fall under CPU control. The exception to this is in Tournament mode, as all players are HUMAN.
Match Styles
The available match styles include Practice, Singles, Doubles, Super Cup, and Tournament.
Practice
The Practice match is the quickest way to start playing Break Point, as only one player needs to be chosen from the Player Select screen. This mode gives the player the chance to play against an opponent who will maintain a defensive game at all times.
Singles
In Singles, you allocate the number of Sets Per Match and choose the players. It is just you versus the computer or you versus a friend.
Doubles
Up to four HUMAN players can compete with the use of a Team Player™ adapter or two HUMANS on separate controllers. Like the Singles match, Doubles offers instant action. Selection of CPU opponents is determined by choosing the human player first, then making the CPU selection from the same controller.
Super Cup
The Super Cup is a tour-based series of matches for the single player. Each part of the tour begins with the player being entered into the Semi Finals and progresses through to the Final.
To enter, select one of the following:
•
START NEW GAME: Select the player and then choose the location of the first part of the tour.
•
ENTER PASSWORD: Select the option and use Up or Down to cycle through digits and Left or Right to move along the line. Press A or C to enter. If accepted, you begin at the stage you reached without the chance to select a player.
At the start, you may only enter the first four tournaments. Winning Gold is worth two points, and winning Silver is worth one point. You must win a total of SIX points to move on to the next circuit. Break Point has a total of four circuits.
To quit a game completely, first abandon the match and then press B on the Tour Selection screen. Confirm your decision to end the session. Abandoning a match automatically assumes you are conceding to your opponent.
Tournament
If only one controller is detected, this option will not be available. Up to EIGHT HUMAN controlled players may take part in the Tournament. Players play off against one another until only one remains-the champion!
Select each player from the Player Selection screen and remember which Player you are. After selecting a court, you will be informed who is scheduled for the first match.
The duration of each Match can be altered in the Options Menu by highlighting 'Tournament' and pressing either A or C to toggle between 'Quick Play' and 'Long Play'.

'Quick Play': Refers to a short set. If no player has won after two games (i.e., the score is
