Tips & Maps
REBOUNDING
Time your jumps at the net and press Shoot and Turbo together to get high in the air for rebounds. Follow your shot to the net for offensive rebounds and try pressing Shoot while in the air for a sweet move.
ON FIRE!
A player who sinks three hoops in a row becomes "On Fire" with Unlimited Turbo and a much greater chance of making any shot. To extinguish a player who's on fire, the opposing team needs to make just one basket.
Team Fire
When a team does three Alley Oops or Double Dunks in a row, both players achieve Team Fire with Unlimited Turbo until the other team makes an Alley Oop or Double Dunk.
HARD CONTACT
Press Turbo and Pass to knock an opponent down, potentially creating a turnover. Be careful, as 5 fouls give your opponent a 3-point free throw attempt and possession if they make the shot.
THE ALLEY OOP!
As you go hard toward your net, watch for your teammate flying toward the net, and when he jumps high and flashes, press Pass to dish the ball off for a slam dunk. To go up yourself, press Turbo and Shoot together.
HEAD FAKE
With your feet planted, quickly tap the Shoot Button to execute a head fake, which may cause your opponent to mis-time his block attempt.
CLEARING OUT
If you're held up and need to pass or shoot, quickly tap the Turbo Button to grasp the ball hard and throw elbows, making it more difficult for your opponent to steal the ball.
SPIN MOVE
As you dribble, quickly tap the Turbo Button twice to perform a spin move.
THE DOUBLE DUNK
Both teammates jump high and drive to the hoop; the ball carrier presses Pass to dish off to the flashing teammate behind him, who must press Turbo and Shoot to jump high toward the net.
BLOCKING SHOTS
Time a player's shot attempt, step in front of him, and press the Shoot Button; if he's high in the air, press Shoot and Turbo together to greet him above the rim.
TIP
A player's attributes indicate their best skills; a good shooter makes more 3-pointers, a power player gets more rebounds and is harder to clear out, and a dunker performs higher, more exciting dunks.
INTERMISSIONS
At Halftime, you can substitute one or both players, but not created players or change teams; use the Directional buttons to cycle through available players and X to return to the floor.
COACHING TIPS
After the 1st and 3rd quarters, Coaching Tips are displayed, offering helpful playing tips and special moves, and more tips are given between quarters if the game goes into Overtime.
Halftime Stats Screen
At Halftime, this screen appears with current game stats for all four players.
End Game Stats Screen
This screen appears at the end of the game, followed by the Scoring Breakdown Screen, which displays the breakdown of point totals for each quarter.
