How to Play
Get in the Game!
1. At the Main Menu, press the START button.
2. You will see the current matchup: visitors on the left and home team on the right. In the center of the screen, you will see icons that correspond to controllers.
3. Use the left and right Directional Buttons to move one or more of the controller icons beneath the desired team. With two Multi Tap adapters, you can have as many as eight users in one game!
4. To play against the computer, simply move one of the controllers to your team and leave the other team blank.
5. Once you choose your team, press the START button to get in the game!
6. While you wait for the game to load, check out the Starting Lineups.
Important: Multi Tap
When using the Multi Tap, at least one controller must be connected to port 1-A for any of the controllers to function.
Without The Ball
Select a player to control
•
Tap the button to select the player closest to the ball.
•
Use the Directional Buttons to run around the court.
Note: DUAL SHOCK™ analog controller
If you have a DUAL SHOCK™ analog controller, you can take advantage of analog control. You can substitute the left analog stick for any control in NBA Basketball 2000 that uses the Directional Buttons. Be sure the red light indicating analog function is turned on; use the analog mode switch if it is not.
Steal the ball
•
Tap the button to attempt to steal the ball from the player who has possession.
FOX TIP: Stealing
Don't be too aggressive when trying to steal the ball or you might incur a foul.
Block a shot
•
Tap the button once to jump. Tap it again while in the air to attempt to swat the shot.
FOX TIP: Goaltending
If you block the ball while it is on its way down, the referee can call you for goaltending. Depending on where the shot originated from, the shooter is automatically awarded 2 or 3 points, whether the shot falls or not.
With The Ball
Pass
Don't be a ball-hog! Basketball is a team sport that requires crisp, smart passes to set up high-percentage shots.
•
Tap the button to pass the ball to a teammate.
•
The colored arrows under your player represent your open teammates.
•
Press a directional button while passing to pick a specific player to receive the pass. A red, flashing arrow marks the player about to receive the pass.
•
The type of pass - chest, bounce, lob, or behind the back - is determined automatically.
Speed Burst
1. Tap the ▲ button while running for a short burst of speed.
2. Hold down the ▲ button while running to sprint down the court—perfect for fast breaks!
FOX TIP: Speed Burst and Fatigue
Use Speed Burst only when necessary to complete the play. If you use Speed Burst too often when Fatigue is set to ON, your players will tire very quickly, which will dramatically affect player performance.
Give-And-Go Pass
1. If you are the only user on your team, press and hold the ✖ button to pass the ball to a teammate.
2. Continue holding the ✖ button during the pass and when the target receives the ball.
3. Release the ✖ button and the current player will attempt to dish the ball back to the original passer.
Note: Pass Type
The type of pass – chest, bounce, lob, behind the back – is determined automatically.
FOX TIP: Give-and-go passes
Use give-and-go passes on odd-man fast breaks to put on a real show!
Using the GO-TO-GUY™
1. Press and hold down the L1 button. The name of a player, and the ✖ button is displayed under one of your teammates. This player is the best player on your team – the GO-TO-GUY.
2. Tap the ✖ button to pass the ball directly to the Go-To-Guy. You do not need to use the Directional Buttons to aim the pass.
Using Icon Passing
1. Hold down the R2 button. Four different button icons appear underneath your teammates.
2. Pass immediately to the teammate of your choice by tapping the corresponding icon button.
3. Continue holding down the R2 button and tapping buttons to make crisp passing plays, one right after the other.
Dribble Moves
Dribble moves help the ball carrier protect the ball against steals.
•
To perform a dribble move, tap the ■ button while running with the ball.
Alley-Oop
The alley-oop is one of the prettiest and most powerful plays in basketball.
1. First, look for a teammate who is calling for a pass by waving his arms.
2. Tap the ✖ button. If you time it correctly, the passer lobs the ball at the hoop, instead of firing the ball directly to the other player. At the same time, the designated player drives toward the hoop to catch the ball near the rim and execute the jam.
FOX TIP: Alley-oops
Use give-and-go passing to pull off the best alley-oops!
Intentional Foul
Commit an intentional foul when you just don't want to give up another easy basket; or, if you just want to send a message to the other team. You can also use this strategy when your team
Tips & Maps
Passing Lane
Try to find an open passing lane before you dish it off. When passing the ball in from your end line, make short to medium-range passes to avoid overthrows or interceptions, unless time is running out.
Shoot
Tap the button for a quick shot, or press and hold to delay and then release to launch. To slam dunk, press the button near the basket or when driving towards it, but remember not all players can dunk.
Best way to shoot
Wait until your player reaches the apex of his jump before releasing the shot for the best chance of a nice arcing shot or shooting over a block.
Fadeaway Shot
To take a fadeaway shot, hold the Directional Buttons away from the opposing guard and then take the shot.
Beat a Double-Team
To beat a double-team, tap the button in the middle of your shot to dish the ball to an open man.
Shoot Free Throws
When the free throw meter appears, tap the button or button to stop the meter in the red shot zones twice. The success of the free throw depends on how accurately you hit both zones, with the second zone's size based on the first.
Disturb Opponent (Free Throws)
If your human opponent is at the line, you can vibrate his DUAL SHOCK analog controller by pressing your button to disturb him.
Pivot
When the ball handler stops moving, tap the [] button to pick up the dribble and plant your pivot foot, then use the left and right Directional Buttons to pivot.
Fake a Shot
Tap the button while standing still to fake a shot.
